I am currently in the middle of moving house and won't be able to do Faversham market on Saturdays for now. I hope it can be appreciated that my weekends are taken up with sorting out my hordings, packing, trips to the charity shops and the dump!

I am still available for any special orders, queries and advice, recently I have made a cute set of peg bags. They are made from oil cloth so are completely waterproof!

Also if you have some time please have a look at my new look website.

Faversham Hop Festival

2011-09-03T21:48:00.001+01:00

Had a lovely day at The Hop Festival in Faversham, off to Iwade village market tomorrow where a family day is planned with face painting, bouncy castle and decorate a cupcake.......yum yum!

Dance! Dance! Dance!

2011-07-02T21:05:00.003+01:00

I'm sorry I haven't been to Faversham market for a couple of weeks but I have been busy decorating my house....it had to be done as I need to sell. I'm very pleased with how it looks too..I had to go into the estate agents to check photos and details etc etc etc and comented on how lovely it all looked! Just need to get people to look round now and BUY!

Anyway it hasn't stopped me sewing so here are a few piccies to prove it :)

I have a stall at Iwade market tomorrow so I shall be taking these with me.

A selection of windbreaks made from vintage fabrics and using poles made from locally sourced wood.

I've also been busy with making some heart bunting that I have been wanting to do for ages. I shall be hanging some at the market tomorrow and it is available to hire or buy!

....and this is what landed in our garden this morning! It's some sort of hawk moth and its MASSIVE! About 10cm long and it wouldn't get off a pair of joggers I had on the line that I needed to iron...grrrrrr....but my 9 yr old, Nancy came to the rescue, after stroking it like her long lost puppy she picked it up...had it crawl up her arm then put it somewhere safe.....and it's still there this evening! I'm keeping ALL my windows and doors shut!

2011-06-30T21:43:00.000+01:00

My little pixies have been busy today too!!

Bunting at Iwade Village Easter Fayre.

2011-04-27T23:12:00.001+01:00

Thank you to Lisa for having my new 'fresh off the sewing line' easter bunting up at Iwade Village Easter Fayre. I'm sure she will agree it seemed to take you to a time of carefree, happy days with friendly chat, tea and cake......mmmmmmm.....delicious!

A few orders I have been busy with too...birthday presents and easter gifts.

...and some cushions I've made from gorgeous samples of vintage fabrics would make any summer house proud, and the fairy bunting to match would also look perfect in a little girls bedroom. I have found a few more gorgeous vintage pieces just enough to make a collection of special things.....can't wait to get started!!.....

These bags are brilliant. Versatile and durable. They can be used for laundry, toys, keepsake, school and pre-school, as the bags are so unique and individual they're great for name recognition. I made them for all my girls, they had them through to year six and they still look fab! My eldest politely asked if she could have a new P.E bag for secondary school a few years ago.....of course I bought her the latest from a sport shop I wouldn't be that cruel!!! But they are great for keeping there books and souvenirs in from primary school and they look beautiful hanging in their bedrooms.

They make lovely, practical christmas 'stockings' too, but they're not just for christmas they're for life!

2010-10-16T17:19:00.004+01:00

This is the boring bit......minimum length to hire is 10 mts with £50 deposit which is refunded on return of complete bunting
Thank you

THE IDEAL HOME EXHIBITION

We returned back to our workshop after having been to "The Turkey Mill" - there on the door mat was an invitation to The Ideal Home Exhibition - to buy some tickets. As part of our proactive marketing we decided to enquire as to how much a stall would cost - well you have to aim high. What happened next only happens in fairy tales - we got offered a stall in the "shopping feature". We shall be exhibiting, demonstrating and selling at The Ideal Home Exhibition from Saturday 20th March - 26th March. Please come along and see us
