It's Sale time

It's that time of year to have a sort out of craft supplies and handmade items. I am very keen to find new and forever homes for my handmade items and to make room for new ones in the new year, so I have created a sale section in my Etsy shop and moved selected items to it. There is 50% off everything in the sale which is running from now through to January 31st 2016, use coupon code JANSALE50 at checkout.

Works in progress

I thought I'd share some works on progress with you...

 

Frames for the Starfish

 

These frames are at the stage before I sand and buff them, add the hanger and finally the Starfish.

 

 

Breadboards ready for up cycling

another breadboard for up cycling, I just forgot to take the before pic!

I purchased these breadboards from the Air Ambulance charity shop in town. The large oval one has been well used and will give such a fab rustic finish to my sign. That's right these boards will become signs, they are perfect for them. The smaller board was probably a cheese board as there is a cut out section for the knife so I have to use the back for my sign.

The below photo's show the boards with their first coat of base colour.

 

The teardrop shape and small oval boards needed 3 coats but the large oval just needed the 2.

They have now received 2 coats of top colour moonlight white.

 

Do pop back in a few days for the next stage on these projects.

First Etsy Sale & Blog plan

I'm so excited, I opened my Etsy shop in January this year and I have just had my first sale woo hoo!!!

A lovely lady has purchased my pack of blueberry muffin scented candle/wax tarts, they smell so yummy you could eat them ;oD. They are going off to her today.

I don't have a lot of stock in my shop at the moment and my Folksy shop is getting less and less as my plan is to take some decent photo's of my items now I know how and re-stock gradually.

Now for the my blog plan.

Because I have a day job to go to ;0( I find I don't have the time to post all that regularly and especially not daily (which I would love to do) about my crafts, ideas, garden etc. So I have decided that I will post once a week, usually at the weekend (Friday through Sunday); that way I can update you on what I have been up to and so on.

The past two weekends I have been working on knew products for an upcoming craft fayre I organise at work during the lunch period June 18th just before Father's Day weekend.

Here is a taster:

Herb plant stakes

Lavender & wheat Cath Kidston fabric pillows

My own hand printed cushions

Embroidered panel cushion

Signs for Dad's as gifts for Father's Day

Framed starfish

 

I have my own cross stitch design models to make up and photograph so I can take my own patterns to the fayre also.
