Sock advent idea

Good morning and how is everyone this morning.

I have been teasing again, I put a pile of socks on Facebook on Monday – stating it was my next craft project.

Baby’s 1st Christmas Sock Advent Calendar.
I used our New and Exclusive Advent number ribbon here, baby’s 1st Christmas ribbon and small buttons.

You can buy the kit (without the socks) here at £2.50 it is a bargain.

The little socks I got from a high street store and a couple of free evenings sewing and it was completed.

We have also added two more NEW and EXCLUSIVE ranges to the website.

A stunning Classic Christmas in Black and White.
This was the range that I had to re-design because it looked “dirty”.
I am so glad I persevered with it, I took some of the detail out and changed the print method.
The ribbons are really quite stunning – find them here.

Today I added this ribbon to our collection

Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I did have fun designing it.

I still have several ranges to photograph, our Design Team girls are eager for me to get all the ranges launched, so they can share their new creations.
I am working as fast as I can!

Lots going on this week

We have had a very busy week launching several of our new Christmas ribbons.

Monday was the White Christmas range.

On Wednesday it was my crazy idea of advent number ribbon.

Today it is the turn of our Russian Dolls.

A line of Russian Dolls .

They are on a grunge effect background with matching narrow Russian Flowers.

Love Chocolate

Morning everyone.

I am like a cat on a hot tin roof today……………..I will explain after showing you this.

Way back in May I made both my brother in laws each a birthday cake.
This cake was was made for Marten, Rachies husband.

He is a chocolate freak……………….adores chocolate.
(most annoying thing, he is a slim as a rake!)

WOW! The fumes from this cake were awesome.
I inhaled with relish knowing I could not eat any of the cake – boo hoo.

You can find the Love Chocolate ribbon here and the Happy Birthday one is here.

Why am I on edge you ask………………………I even had Tony in the office at 7.30 this morning.
 

I should (fingers, toes crossed) be receiving……….

My FIRST Delivery of our EXCLUSIVE Christmas Ribbons today.

Eek I am so excited and nervous at the same time.

Every time I hear a lorry outside, I go running out………….
…….I do hope it comes soon, not sure my nerves can cope with an afternoon delivery.

If you follow us on Facebook – I will post when it arrives, just in case  you are as excited as me,
(ummm no that is not possible!)

Ladybird dots

Hello everyone, 

We are launching another NEW ribbon today.

We have been asked for this ribbon for ages, to make ladybirds.
The manufacture does not carry it as a stock colour, so we had it printed just for you  hair clip makers.
Red grosgrain ribbon with black Swiss dots.
We now have oodles and oodles of the ribbon, you can find it here

 

Same price as all our other Swiss dot ribbons 3mts for £1 or any 6 colours for £5

I told Miss Mollie that I was making Ladybirds and I needed someone to photograph them with.
I gather she drove Rachie mad about coming up to see auntie Ali, “auntie Ali needs me mummy”.

Look she wore her ladybird outfit, just for me.

I love this photo, you can tell we were having fun.
