LINKS TO A GREAT LITTLE SEWING MACHINE AND PAPER AND STRINGS WHO I LOOOOOOVE!


9th April 2013

LINKS TO A GREAT LITTLE SEWING MACHINE AND PAPER AND STRINGS WHO I LOOOOOOVE!

OHHHHH GOD! Only 9 days to go until the baby and toddler show in Glow Bluewater! Everything is now coming together but we had a massive drama over the weekend! My mummy has our slinger sewing machine at her house but we decided I needed one at mine to get everything done in time so mummy brought me an awesome pink sewing machine from my favourite place in the world HOBBY CRAFT!! J It obviously was a display item or used in a demo because the packaging wasn’t great but it was the only PINK machine they had left and I really really wanted it! So at the check-out the sale’s lady said to bring it back if it was damaged! Well two days later, Sunday night when I really needed to get the bits sewn on after being ill for FOUR DAYS (god dam you flu) and you know, being on a very tight schedule and all that would the machine work! NO IT WOULDN’T! After an hour of tinkering and re-reading the instructions I just couldn’t take it no more! It went back in the box, a few tears watching it go (I LOVED IT) and now it’s back at Hobby craft and I had to exchange it for a new one, which for the extra £20.00 is 100 times better for what I need and what I should of went for in the first place…… but never mind, that will teach me for loving the PINK ha! so basically drama diverted and got all the sewing done last night!

Heres the Link, an awesome little machine for all your sewing needs, comes with a DVD instruction and Tutorial as well :-)

Easter Weekend....Mocked up Cot Bumper Sets


2nd April 2013

Arghhhhhhh it’s getting CLOSER! Only 2 weeks to go to get all our makes and items sewn together and sorted! Scary!!!!
Anyways I hope everyone had a lovely weekend and bank holiday! Freezing in England and we are all full of colds! My son’s nose is like the Nile; clean it and then it’s back again within 10 minutes! How is that possible? How can such a little person produce so much gunky horrible snot! Not to mention the icky stomach he had, so all fun and games….. L…. But on the plus note had a lovely Easter dinner, Alfie got a lot  of Easter Eggs and it’s a crime against the Easter Bunny not to eat them all and just to top it off put on my trousers this morning and they are VERY VERY tight so erm……GYM here I come! Oh and me, being smug thinking I hadn’t caught anything from my little monster woke up today with a raging sore throat and lots of SNOT! ARGH!
Well that’s my rant over ha!

Got some pictures of us mocking up some of the designs for the cot bumpers, I’ve got to say and YES I am VERY BIASED but they look absolutely fab! So different and unoriginal! Every cot bumper set is going to be unique and not one will be the same! J Absolutely loving that it’s all coming together, there’s light at the end of the tunnel yet! Ha! And I’ve got to give a big shout out to Paper and Strings! I brought there felt and its lovely…… so nice to cut and work with also the colours I ordered are very vibrant and bold which is just want we want! Got to order some more soon…..i want my free promotional kit ha!

http://www.paper-and-string.co.uk/ - link to their site!

So here you are guys….. Some pictures of the process so far! Look out for our tutorials coming soon and also chances to work with us! That’s if you would like to ha!
So can’t wait for the finished items to be photographed displayed and up on my site but due to the labour intensive work piecing these together I’m really going to have to review my pricing structure L……

This is going to be the "Shhh I'm Sleeping" Range which can be personalised and tweaked..... Please comment if you like :-)





Love Charlene :-) xx
