Woo Hoo

So I have had a rather exciting week. I contacted a shop in Norwich that only sells local handmade items and made an appointment to go and see them. They loved my 'things' and so now I have my own shelf there !! The shop is called Norwich Gift Emporium and it is on Lower Goat Lane in Norwich City Centre. To make things even more exciting about an hour after setting my shelf up I had already sold 2 items !! So I am really pleased the Summer holidays are fast approaching so I can make lots more 'things' to put on my shelf. Next time I'm in there I will take a photo for you all to see.


So this is my latest progress on 'Grumpy Owl' by Annya Kai. I am really please with how it is coming along even though it has taken me forever to get this far. I still really enjoy working on it and that's what counts ! I think in about 2 years at this rate and it will be ready for framing (I'm not one project at a time girl)
 
So here is the latest 'ATC' that I received. I have not stitched my letter 'L' as yet but my plan is to get it done tomorrow. But that does depend on how much of a hang over I have ! I am out tonight with the girls from work on a hen do. I have not been out in such a long time and am really looking forward to it.

 
I was asked to make a card for a girl at work whose friend is expecting a baby boy. She was really pleased with what I stitched for her saying it is 'so cute'.

 
Well that's all my news for now

Another day at home......

So I am home again with my poorly boy. It looks to me that he has got tonsillitis again (around the 5th time I think) we are going to be going to the doctors in a while to confirm it. However they won't give him any-thing for it as he gets 'viral' tonsillitis but I hope that they may consider removing them. I'm not sure how many times you have to get tonsillitis for them to remove them. He keeps telling me it feels like he is being strangled !!

On a more crafty note this is an ATC swap that I received from a lady in Denmark. The rabbit is the cross stitched ATC and the other bits are a bonus. I love the iron on animals !! Just got to decide what to put them on.

I fancied a new start and decided to do some-thing a little different. I have had this bang on the door kit in my stash for a while so thought I would give it a go.

 I am loving how it is turning out it is so super cute !! Would look great framed and in a baby's bedroom.

I have also been doing some papercrafting this week. I was asked to decorate a wedding post box which I can't show until the wedding has been. But I am pleased to say the bride to be was very happy with the result. I have also been making some new type of cards. I have used Hannah Lynn trading cards to make the cards. They are in little wallets and are able to be removed from the card so can be kept. I love Hannah Lynn's art and have got a small collection myself.

 I think this is my favourite one that I have made so far. What do you think of them ?
Right that's it for now...wish us luck at the doctors. x
