Im sorry i have been a TERRIBLE blogger... well i have been that bad i don't know if i can even be classed as a blogger anymore.
I have seriously neglected my blog. After The Corner Emporium scheme came to an end i have been very busy and very un-organised!

I promise i will try my hardest to keep this blog a little more up to date.
In the mean time why not check out my Facebook page

Scrabble Cushions

Inspiration

I never seem to get much time to browse other blogs like i used to which is a shame but every now and again i take a minute or 30. Reading other people's blogs always gives me lots of inspiration and makes me feel really motivated to get creating things.
Here is what has been inspiring me recently......

Custom Order>> Apron

Michael from Fudge Fancies (one of the other shops within The Corner Emporium) set me a task this week. He wanted me to customise his apron with his Fudge Fancies logo. He also set me a deadline, to have it ready for this Saturday when he would be selling his fudge at the Saltburn Farmers Market. I managed to have it all stitched up ready for his farmers market and here it is...

Custom Order

A couple weeks ago a lady asked me if i could make a garter for her sister's wedding. I had never attempted to make anything like a garter or any wedding accessories. However it was pretty straight forward and quite fun to try my hand at something completley different to what i usually do. Made from some pretty lace i added a blue ribbon (something blue)and tied it in a bow at the front, added clear, white and pearly beads and to finish off added a vintage looking bow brooch. The customer was very happy with it, as was i, what do you think?
