Daisy and Rosie all finished too!

Hope you all had lovely happy weekends!! (...despite the awful weather to those of you who got the rain and high winds here)

I got these two bunting all finished on Wednesday last week. I've had some trouble up loading the photos though. At long last here they are. On to the next project tonight. Not decided which one to start first yet.

Order all finished!

Here's the finished washbag and two pretty little buntings. Off to post them now.

Wash Bags

Here's my first wash bag all finished. I'm rather pleased with it actually! 

Now just a few finishing touches to the bunting and the whole order is finished and will be in the post to a happy customer.

On to the next then!

Approx size 23 x 25 cm. Cotton and fully lined.

Plain pink girlie bunting

Here's some of the plain bunting I was making last night. It's 5ft 6" and has 6 flags.(this photo I know shows a few more than 6, there's the start of another there too). I can accommodate any length and colour or theme on request. This one is a mix of new and recycled materials backed with good quality felt trimmed with lots of lovely ribbons and bows.

Cat toys

Well I think I posted before about trying out my birds a a cat toy. Laura took one home last night and tested it on her 3 lovely cats, Emerson, Tabitha and Lily. They loved it so another 2 to do.... with a couple of tiny modifications. Here a few snaps from her phone.

Bunting and bows

Beth has been doing a grand job keeping our bunting and bows website up to date and refreshing it. We are constantly adding and changing our range of products some you will have seen here some are new. Why not pop over and have a look.

This week's cushion projects!

Here's the first cushion of the week. The other is still work in progress.

 There's a cupcake on the back like I've done before on some bunting. The other one is rather very different to this cushion. It's a cushion for a christening I'm going to this sunday For my little cousin, Abigail.

Flyer

Bunting and bows new flyer I worked on last night.

Kent Mama article printed and in my hands

Ahh finally got my hands on a printed copy and not just the online version. here's a couple of snaps of the article.

Birds - attempt 1

Here's my first bird attempt last night,It's still work in progress as they are not finished yet. I need to sew up their tummies and add an eye or two and maybe a bow. I'm not sure on the shape yet and whether it needs tweaking or not. What do you think?

Stars

I finished my first batch of stars last night. Not a bad start though I think the shape may need a tweak but its a good start. Start on the birds tonight I think.

Kent Mama article is finally here and live online

My bunting and bows article is finally here! Yipeee. Beth and I are finding it very exciting but also a bit nervous that nothing will come of it....so fingers crossed everyone.

It's in this issue of KentMama the Autumn issue. Click on the front cover of the magazine and it will take you to the online magazine. It's all got very clever theses days with online magazines don't you think!? Were on page 41 and our small advert is on page 15 oh and we also have a photo of my bunting on the front cover.

Kent Mama is a free parenting magazine distributed among schools, doctors surgeries, dentists, libraries & supermarkets etc.It's been going 3 years already and doing really well.

Here's a sneak preview. I can't wait to get a copy through the post. Those of you who live in Kent in the Maidstone and Medway areas you'll be able to pick a copy up somewhere near you.

Bunting - finished

I was rather pleased with my little camper van on my bunting. Hope you like it too.

The camper van

I've been putting this off for a few days but it had to be finished tonight really. So here's the camper van on the latest bunting commission. More photos of the whole thing to follow tomorrow folks.

Bunting and Bows Magazine article

   

My old friend Beth and I are 'Bunting and Bows' and we have been lucky enough to get chosen to be part of an article in a Kent magazine later this month. KentMama is a parenting magazine that has a high print run and will get distributed into all the children's school bags across parts of Kent, be in doctors surgeries, libraries etc. We are hoping that it will give us a little kick start in the early stages of our new venture.

                                            

The article is about new creative business' starting up by mum's and Beth being a mum of her gorgeous daughter Matilda we qualified.I've been going through trying to pick out some of our better shots to send them.

A few pieces from Bunting and Bows more to come soon
