Moose business

Hello

Well I am feeling like I am slowly getting on top of things here

I have (literally) just finished a stack of bunting orders

Ahhhhh big sigh

 

I thought I'd share these with you

A wonderful friend of mine ordered these

for two little brothers

she wanted them similar but different

I will be dropping them off of sunday

I hope she likes them

I now need to concentrate on making a nestful of little Peckers

and for all the lovely people who have been enquiring about them 

I am sorry for the little delay

but they WILL be in my shop by the end of next week

By a strange coincidence today

I had an email from the lovely Viv from PoppySparkles

to say that she had featured my 'Merry Christmoose' bunting 

on her wonderful blog

What a beautiful collection

don't you think??

I feel very honoured to be there

You can find that festive moose here in my shop

Thank you Viv

 ❤

 

I am looking forward to tonight

It is the much anticipated 

craft guild night

It is at my house tonight

so I'm off to rustle up some cupcakes

(well what is craft without cake??)

see you later ladies

have a fabulous weekend everyone

more soon

Sew sweet Violet....SEW!

Oh my goodness

it's been 'all go' around here!

My Etsy shop has got nice and busy 

and I am so happy about it :o)

photo number one

I have been at my sewing table ALOT

from early in the morning 

until late into the evening

*Can you spot the difference?

photo number two

My little Peckers are all sold out 

and I have been busy making several advent buntings

I just L❤VE it

with each and every sale I get so excited

It's wierd, I make things and obviously I like them 

otherwise I wouldn't make them

but you never really know if anyone else will...

...do you know what I mean?

So when people swap their hard earned money

for something that I've made it really warms my heart

I am truly grateful for that

I am hoping to make another nest-full of little baby robins

and have them in my shop in the next couple of weeks

so to all of you who have been inquiring ~

keep your eyes peeled for little peckers soon!

Other news ~

❤  The lovely Karen over at a quiet corner 

has passed on the versatile blogger award to me

How nice is that?

I really need to contain my excitement

thank you Karen

❤

I shall have to put my thinking cap on and come up with something to tell you

 ❤ My lovely G has started driving

he has had three lessons so far

I kept 'forgetting' to book them as I just couldn't bare the thought 

not of him driving, but of him growing up

I have had enough of BIG changes this year

anyway I took a deep breath and 'got over it'

He loves driving and according to his instructor is very good at it

unlike his mum!

❤ Our sweet B is coming home for the weekend ~ YAY!

So I am working extra hard with all of my orders

so that we can have a lovely family weekend

We are hoping to go to a Christmas craft fair here

and make some Christmas cards

 I miss spending time with her so much

I seem to have been a little out of my 'blogging zone' lately

sometimes it is just hard to fit everything in

so I am sorry if I've not popped by to say 'Hi' lately

and forgive me if I am not here quite so often 
just for a while


well thats about it for now
have a fabulous week


more soon

They're here....

....at last!

Please allow me to introduce to you

The Robin Babies

Percy Pecker's little babies to be precise

 

They have all turned into little characters

now that they have been made hatched

I have started to list them in my Esty shop

these sweet little babies are in need of loving homes for Christmas

and they especially like decorating Christmas trees

according to Percy

I had a little trouble with the editing of these photos

with several 'computer says no' moments

(aarrrggghhhhhhhh)

some of the names are unreadable

(sorry bout that)

luckily my shop photo's are readable

I think I was trying to run before I could walk with Picnik

very frustrating BUT I shall get there

someday

Anyway thats it from me today

but pop back on Friday for a little birdie giveaway

(hip hip hooray)

Happy Wednesday

more soon
