How the time flysthe boy is already 1

 

 

One year ago today i was in labour, it was a really quick one too, my massive 9lb 10 oz baby was born, blue as the sky and the cord wrapped around his neck in the early hours of the morning. He scared the shit out of the midwife who pressed the emergency button bringing about 6 other midwives rushing in to the room, he was blue and wasn't moving, but i knew he was OK, i rubbed him hard whilst she got rid of the cord and lifted him to my chest and he just looked at me, blinked, took a massive breath and let out the biggest scream Ive ever heard.....that's my boy! a drama queen from the beginning.

 

 

He was a very ugly baby for the first few weeks but he grew out of it.

 



 

and now i cant get enough of him, everybody loves him, he is a wonder and a pleasure.

 

i love my baby Frankie

 

Happy Birthday son, all the pain, blood sweat and tears were worth it and i would do it all again.

The C word...in September.

That's right...i said it! the C word.......noooo you awful lot not the C U next Tuesday word it was the Xmas word! Yep that's right I'm doing Christmas orders in September ( i actually started them in June but they are coming thick and fast now). My making diary is booked up until the end of October so time is running out to get those handmade goodies for your loved ones.

i have been making stockings and bunting this week...ooh and bags, here they are:-

 

 

Just look at these awesome colours, i love it when my customers are a bit wacky

 

and if you haven't noticed i do have a bit of a thing for Elvis so i made another bag to take with me to my next craft fair.

 

If you are near Bridgnorth please please come along, it is such a beautiful venue and Bridgnorth is stunning, it is packed full of charity shops, a brilliant street market and loads of pubs. Not to mention little gallery's, the old castle park which has a brilliant view of the Severn valley railway and of course the best vintage and handmade fair ever.

 

I hope you will be able to come along, i will be bringing, bags, toys, bunting, necklaces and a catalogue of my other items to order, there is always loads of kitsch, cute and vintage items and the atmosphere is amazing. so yeah...be there or be square!

website bliss

Yes I'm a clever clogs...well not really its only a free and basic site but i finally built my own website. and anyone that knows me also knows that this is nothing short of a miracle as I'm really rubbish with computers.

 

Its

www.beccibunnymakes.co.uk

 

It doesn't do much, it basically directs you to my facebook page but it is a start.

it would be great if you could pop buy and test it out for me, let me know how you get on and i can change it accordingly. Any ideas are gratefully received as i am still very new to all of this.

 

ive been embroidering tea and cake banners this week:-

 

 

This is my first one proudly hanging in my kitchen. They are easy to do and use up your scraps so well worth doing.

 

I've also been making bibs for my next craft fair which is in 2 weeks, I've been rushed off my feet with orders so i haven't got much stock but it will be fun....it always is.

 

 

 

I Love the last one, its very autumnal here, who loves Halloween? .....i do! i cant wait, im gonna decorate with banners and spiders webs and all kinds of spooky things.

 

 

I hope you are all well.

Buttercup bags and a little givaway

Well this week has been amazing, I've had loads of really interesting orders. I love sewing for others as i am running out of room in my house for all my fabric creations. I have gone buttercup bag mad, if you haven't heard of this lovely bag (where have you been? hiding under a rock?) you can download a free small version here or if you want you can buy the larger version and make to sell. I have made myself 4 of these babies so far and i love love love them, i don't get much chance to use a handbag as Frankie is only 1 and still requires what feels like a suitcase full of things every time we leave the house, but when i do use one i use it in style. here are my bags.......

 

 

 

I cant get enough of those bag charms, they really make the bag stand out. sooooooo who wants to win a bag charm? you can have whatever you like, a moustache, a tea cup with your initial on, a shabby chic yo yo brooch, a super cool embroidered pic of Elvis, a nautical themed yo yo brooch, something spooky for Halloween? you tell me what you want..... these are the rules, you must go to my facebook page here and comment on the highlighted status. just tell me what you have been doing, what items you like, what you wish i would make, or just say  hi. whatever you want. and if you are feeling the bunny love share a pikkie or two on your page and i will enter you again in to the draw. i will run this until next Friday, happy commenting

 

All i want is for as many people s possible to see my work and hopefully like it

 

who will help me? join the handmade revolution!

 

Thank you all ( can you tell I've had my first sip of wine in 3 months?)

Everybody..say hello to Randy

I have brought myself a new sewing machine, i needed it as my SE400 is set up for embroidering and its a pain in the ass to convert it back to sewing, also i can just hoop up my fabric, choose a design and push the go button and my little SE400 ( her name is Babbette, Babs for short) will quite happily sew away whilst i get on with other things so really Randy has doubled my productivity ( in theory).

Here he is.......

isn't he handsome?!?!?. i totally love him, i can tell he will be a total workhorse, he is sturdy and well built with lots of fab functions like a top loading bobbin and automatic needle threader. I got him from sewing machines direct and the service was amazing, he came the next day and i got loads of brilliant freebies, i don't think i will ever have to buy thread again and the fluorescent yellow is eye bleeding brilliant.

in other news i am definitely signing up for a dressmaking course, it starts in September and i cant wait, i will be wearing snazzy unique well fitting dresses in no time (i hope)

i know I've been a bad blogger but i will try my best to post more often i promise.
