I love Hearts!

There has been a distinct heart theme round here lately, firstly I have been very busy making these little hearts which I sell in my shop. Although we are primarily a curtain and blind shop, being by the coast, there are naturally a lot of tourists, especially in the Summertime. Whilst we don't have much to offer visitors in the way of souvenirs, I do like to make up a few bits which sell really well in the holiday season.

Secondly there has been the heart swap, and my swap partner was Gemma from Deravelled - I received some lovely goodies including some lovely cards which Gemma had made and some charms and stickers so I can make some of my own - there was also some lovely smelling soap slices and the pretty black and white handmade heart you can see in the picture,

Thank you Gemma - I love everything!
I have a busy week ahead, It is my eldest son's birthday on Thursday (he will be 11) and it is also my last full week at work before I have some nice time off around Easter - I have lots I want to do, things to make, books I want to read and places I want to go - I love Easter time and can't wait

Going Live!

Well, after months of waiting, my website is now live! - I would love it if you would take a look, and if you would tell me what you think, that would be even better! - You can find the website here, or by clicking on the link in the sidebar. We will be adding lots more fabrics over the next few weeks, and for all my blogging friends out there (or friends of friends of friends) you can receive a 10% discount on your order by entering the promotional code Summer08 at the checkout.
For everyone who is kind enough to leave some feedback, I will enter you into a little draw, I haven't decided what the prize will be yet, but it will definitely be something nice!
No photo's on this post, but I'll be back later in the week with some piccies of all the crafty things I've been up to this week.

P.S - And for anyone who is wondering, yes, that really is me on the homepage!

My Shop & Decorating progress!

Well, as promised here are some photos of my shop - I changed the window today and I'm really pleased with it - I think it looks really pretty and springy (and can you spot the bunny in there?!)

The fabric in the window is a lovely print called 'Tea Rose' I think it is very Cath Kidstony but half the price - it is 100% cotton and a really good quality and is just £12.99 a metre, so if anyone would like some, just e mail me and I'm happy to charge you for whatever quantity you require.

Picture 2 is another bunny I have made - this is on its way to Debbie at 'Country Heart & Home' - I hope she is pleased with it . Finally, you can see some progress has been made with Georgia's room - it is now fully plastered and we are just waiting for it to dry out - the decorator arrives a week on Monday, which gives Hubby a week to get the new window in and some skirting boards on - slavedriver - moi?!
