Obsessed with Embroidary

OK so first im obsesssed with sewing and mending, then making, then fabrics, HUGE obsession with fabrics!  Then embroidery.  I love it.  I love that I can 'write' anything, it always looks so beautiful. I love that I could have my cushions in peoples homes.  I love my new design, ive named it 'and then there were.....' cushion.  Totally my idea, have searched the net and dont think there is anything with this exact concept.  Really pleased and absolutely love it in my old house :-)

Yay its Friday!

Like everyone, im soooo glad its Friday.  Been such a long week this week. Altho I have had some rather major triumphs, the first was - I cleaned my kitchen....not the floor, that would be more than a triumph, that would be a miracle.    The second was my makes.  I have made 2 ipad cases and 3 cosmetic bags, really getting quick now at everything.  No sales as such.  Determined not to let this daunt me, I have been watching other crafters items on Ebay for a while now and they often have to relist several times before things sell.  I have only listed one item on Etsy and nothing on Folksy, just testing the various waters at the moment to see what works and what dosent.   Husband text to say he would be late, not an unusual occurence, so sneakily put the kids to bed for some alone time. Yesterday was World Book Day. Daughter went to school as an Indian Princess, she made up a book about an Indian Princess cause she just wanted to do the dress up, bless her.  Darling son stuck a pencil in my printer this mornng so I have to get that out somehow, was hoping to make some flyers for local places once I have a stock of things.  Anyway, here are a couple of things I made...

Have a great weekend all, lots a love Zoe p.s doing a giveaway on my FB page - go visit! x

A business woman

Im a business woman! Not making any money as such, but hey, im getting there.  Ive opened a new ebay account for the Sewing Croft http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/thesewingcroft and listed my items on there.  I am also mastering zips, not as difficult as I first thought and made this little bag

Im rather pleased that a good friend of mine, who is also a crafter - www.greenheartgifts.co.uk would like it so its all hers. Def going to make some more, they are very useful.  Ive also just finished this heart and keyring package

The Shoe Lovers heart & keyring on Ebay NOW!

Really want to get back to some other making rather than just hearts, but with  mothers day looming im hoping people will want my gifts.

Fingers crossed

Love Zoe x
