Finally! A new item in the shop. Find it here, on our UK Etsy Shop. Mum has been making these gorgeous notice boards, I managed to convince her to make some for Etsy too :) Next to the notice board is the cotton reel holder I knocked up one night, out of the remains of a broken laundry basket would you believe. I never got round to finishing it though, and then I was given a gorgeous sewing box my great grandfather made. I'll have to take some photos of that for next time.
I haven't had much of a chance to make anything to sell recently (surprise, surprise) but I have been creating when I get the chance. For example, here's my friend modeling one of the cushions I made her:
I do have a few more items to list, unfortunately I have a deadline for Friday and I'm running behind. Hopefully the week after you will be seeing a hand knitted silk & merino baby wrap, an embroidered reusable shopping bag and a set of crocheted coasters. Updates will be on Twitter when they're listed :)
In other news.. It's my twenty third birthday in exactly seven days! The past year has sped by, it's kind of scary.

Wow, I've really neglected this blog.
If you're here from Etsy then I made a Twitter for short updates of new items and crafting exploits. It'll be more regular than posts here, but not so often that you'd get spammed with tweets.

I do have a personal twitter too but I fail at that almost as much as I fail at blogging. I guess I'm just a bit awkward with putting myself out there. If you're curious about me though feel free to follow that also; http://twitter.com/8ofspades
I'll try to update here more often with photos etc.
I promised I'd update with news of my mum's Etsy shop. Well it's now up and running! Go take a look; http://daisytilt.etsy.com.
She's been crafting hard so there'll be new items added soon.
You may notice it's a collaboration - I haven't had much chance to craft items to sell this year, so we figured it would be in both our interests to operate from the same shop.
Hopefully I'll have a chance over summer to make some new books & get sewing, I've just been snowed under with work recently.
I'm disappointed with the quality of the photos. I had a hard time with the quilts trying to find somewhere I could lay them out nicely which also had good lighting.
Things have been so busy recently I haven't been keeping on top of everything. My own Etsy shop has become somewhat of a graveyard, but don't fear, for I've been helping my mother set up her own! She has been doing the hard work: brainstorming, quilting & sewing; I have just been setting up the shop, making logos & being a nuisance with my camera. It will be open very soon, announcement to follow.
The weather has been good here recently and I have been making the most of every nice day in the garden. I haven't quite finished digging my vegetable plot yet, but hopefully it will be ready in time for the seedlings to go out. The rest of the garden finally exploded into bloom, making me very happy.
We visited a family friend for lunch the other day. She has a wonderful little cottage & garden. Every time I go there I'm inspired to do 100 different things when I am home.
This weekend is set to be busy, first we are going to a Festival of Quilting, then for some lunch, onto an Arts & Crafts Event and then finishing with a jumble sale (I am addicted to jumble sales, bazaars and charity shops at the moment!). I will remember to come and post about it next week :)
