Here's the last edition of orders made at the end of last week. Little cupcake pin cushions. the firs one was a wee bit too big so I scaled them down bit. What do you think?....more to follow soon

Hello allI'm taking part in a craft exchange and wondered if anyone would like to join me?? It's only a small one and you only need to send on one thing. If anyone is interested in receiving lots of lovely handcrafted goodies just before christmas maybe be useful to top up on christmas pressies too.....So if you have any spare crafty things in your stash or just a small amount of time to create a

Here is my first little pile of finished goodies to get in the post. Still plenty to get done yet. But I love making these little birds and as you know I love buttons! Having a frustrating time with the machine tonight...you know how it can be so It was nice to get some of these finished off by hand.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! I've been a bit quiet on here for a few days. Lots of cutting out and no sewing yet so once I have a few finished pieces to share with you they will be here.

Out on a little walk I came across these beauties......as we know autumns here well and truly and it's starting to feel rather wintery already. I love the colours of the trees and caught this one in bright sunshine which made some great shapes on the trunk. These little mushrooms looked great too.

I was flicking through some of my old work photos and found this. I loved the picture I made for my friends wedding present. This button heart adorned the corner. Sadly the other photos I have of the whole things aren't very good at all. I stitched on lots of varying pretty white buttons in different sizes.

Does anyone else suffer from too many ideas spinning around their heads and little time to explore them all?? My little head feels like it will explode with at the moment with nowhere near enough time to get to them all. It can be sooo frustrating!! Watch this space as hopefully some of them will unravel amongst the new orders I have to complete.

Heres a little kitty I had done for Halloween a while back and have re-coloured her. Now she's all pretty in pink. I'm thinking she's a great shape for an applique kitty on some of my products.
