Cheeky Chick Competition

I get ideas at all sorts of times and places but quite a few of my ideas come when I first wake up and in the shower and this morning was one of those times. My head was all fuzzy with a slight cold and full of a to-do-list that is getting longer and longer but still an inspiration came to me that just had to be made.

So here she is Cheeky Chick as she is known as at the moment. She will become a kit as soon as I can get the photos taken and the instructions printed (already written!), just in time for the Easter holidays hopefully. I will let you know as soon as she enters my folksy and etsy shops but before then I will be giving away the one you can see here!

"So what do I have to do to win such a fantastic prize?" I hear you ask, well its simple, you need to leave a comment on here saying what you think she should be called and why.

The rules are easy: only 1 comment per person please, I must be able to contact you through your comment if I can't then another name will be drawn, I will ship internationally so all are welcome to join in. You have until Wednesday 17th March Midnight (GMT) to enter and the winner will be announced on Thursday 18th March.

Good Luck

Something for all you doodlers out there!

So this is what I was working on this weekend.

I got into the mood of birdies after making the bird bookmarks and decided to finally make one of the ideas off my list! I do hope you like them. They are A5 lined notebooks which I have made the covers for. The birds are appliqued on and then I have free machine stitched around them and the accents. You can find these 2 in my etsy and Folksy shops. I will be making more birdies and maybe some other things too, thinking maybe cupcakes next, what do you think, any suggestions welcome. Oooo just thought, if you like these and would like them personalised as a special gift for someone (teacher, friend, craft buddy) then I can do that too, now that has got me excited!

Got a Christmas Craft fair on all this weekend at Hatton Country World, so if your stuck for something to do come up and see me and bring the kids for a great day out. There is the farm animals and loads of rides and bits for them to play on. My two really love it and will be up with me at somepoint of the weekend, with their Daddy!

Don't forget to be one of the first 20 to follow me here to be in for a chance to win a little something. Also if you buy something from me before 12th December you will be in for a chance to win a special Christmas Present.

Right better get on with some sewing and shoudl get the washing in off the line before it rains!!!

Sing little Birdie, Sing

I've had an idea for a while and drew out a pattern a few weeks ago, but as with alot of my ideas it got put on my to do list and I haven't got around to making it a reality. This changed today as I finally had a reason to make it. As part of my 20 followers giveaway I decided (on Twitter) to give an extra something to numbers 15 and 16, well they were Oddsox and Kate. Kate please can you contact me as I would love to send you a little something. Having been in contact with Oddsox I found out she had seen some of my goodies here so I asked what had caught her eye and the reply was that she has a soft spot for birdies. Well that was easy she will be getting one of the little birdie lavender pouches but thats not all, as I said I finally got a reason to make this.....

So as an extra Thank you for giving me the reason to try this out I'm sending it to you Oddsox, I really hope you like it. They are made using a big paperclip type bookmark and some thick handmade felt, both were bought here, although the felt was given to me as a little bag of scraps! And I think I will be making a few more to add to my shops as I think they are kinda cute, let me know what you think.
