Sorry I have not managed to respond to any of My Creative Space comments - I feel very rude! However, I will be catching up with everyone over the weekend after my craft fair tomorrow. Here's a close up of the 'tweedie' baubles I've been working on. I did manage to do some more quick items, but I will post pics of them later. Off to get organised, and hopefully will enjoy my day out, whether I make many sales or not!
Bye for Now :)
Scrabbling about on the floor making some of my 'tweedie' Christmas baubles, they look nice and take an age to make - crafter's dilemma - eeeek! I'm making them because I like them, so there! Harris Tweed, toy stuffing and some 'bling' - what more could a girl ask for!!?
I heard on the grapevine today that the craft fairs have been really quiet of late - just what I wanted to hear! Och, it's a day out - I'll report back on my return and hopefully will list some of my 'tweedie' bling in my Etsy shop.
The weather's not sounding too wonderful either and it sounds like the wind is whipping up here - another reason to keep the Christmas shoppers at home - Aaaargh!!! Wish me luck :) (I think I'll need it!!)More creative space-making over here!
Cheerio an Drasda :)
Only a couple of days to get some new stock for the craft fair on Saturday - Oh dear! - anyone got any time I can borrow?!
*Off, running, to get my crafting tools out* - back later in the week :)
Bye for Now!
Cheerio an Drasda!
I've really enjoyed following her blog and she very kindly featured my 'tweedie' bumblebee in a fab post all about her love of Harris Tweed.
I think he looks vey happy on her lovely Harris Tweed rucksack!
I can honestly say 'craftwise' that I didn't manage to complete much of what I had intended to do - some other things happened to come along which redirected my path, but in a good way! I had my first international order from my own website this week which gave me a lovely buzz and 'teenage son's' first school parent evening was nowhere near as intimidating as I expected and was actually quite a nice experience! How odd, haha!
On Thursday a nice man came to fix our dodgy central heating system - it turns out that he used to be a Harrris Tweed weaver not so long ago, funny old world! Anyway, we're all nice and toastie now - hurray!
I have a craft fair next Saturday so will probably be a bit absent again - wish I had more time to make lots of shiny, tweedie things but time is running out, again!!! Back soon :)
It's 'that' crazy time of year isn't it??Cheerio an Drasda :)
Hurray! This is the last of the dinosaurs for the Gallery shop order - I do have 5 more 'beastie' tweedies to make, but they will have to wait until the end of the month now.
Starting to see quite a bit of Christmas 'bling' on the go amongst my fellow craft bloggers, so I fancy a little fling with the sequins myself, to fit in with my next Craft Fair on the 21st November. I do like a bit of sparkly Harris Tweed! With any luck I'll get a bit of 'bling' into my Etsy shop before Christmas!
Last Christmas I got a bit caught up with doing online custom orders at the last minute in December so I've decided to draw a halt to custom orders at the beginning of December this year.
In summary, I will most likely be closing my own website on December 1st - January 4th (as all items on this site are made to order). My Etsy shops however will remain open until the second week in December (for items in stock). Now's the time to get your custom order in!
Now on to some fun 'tweedie' creativity at last - what shall I make today?? :)
