What a Hoot!

My Ollie & Ollie tea & coffee cosies are selling very well, thanks to the added orders from Hunkydoryhome this week, I have around 10 half finished owls hanging off the pin board, as well as about another 20 other half finished projects and I desperately need to get some of the owls finished over the weekend so I can get some natural light to take photos, as dark evenings and a flash just don't do justice to still life photo's.

Is it just me that just can't finish one project? before getting yet another light bulb moment after staring at cupboard crammed full of fabrics, then pulling half out over the floor to match them up, and then spend hours (well it seems like hours) refolding them, then noticing another fabric I forgot, pulling it out, again I stare at it, wondering what I can make from it. Before I know it, I have yet again, another pile of fabrics on the table, on top of the pile already there, except by now I have forgotten what light bulb moment I came up with for the fabrics at the bottom of the pile, so they go back in the cupboard..........

OLLIE'S BACK!!!!

OLLIE THE OWL CHILDRENS CUSHION

Well after what it seems a long time away from blogging, making and just doing things for me! I'm back. Looking forward to making a few more things, and one thing I did notice the moment I stopped uploading new things people stopped looking and buying, so people clicking on those new items must bring sales in!

I am going to make another 2 versions of this in the Mutli (pinks) and the Sage Alexander Henry 'Zoo' fabric, and use as this one Laura Ashley check to match.

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE NOT SO UGLY

THE GOOD

http://www.hunkydoryhome.co.uk/hunkycat/index.php

I have been contacted and asked to sell my Ollie Tea cosies & Olive coffee cosies on a website called Hunkydoryhome, they have a few sellers from Folksy, so I am very happy to soon see them being sold on there, they have some fab bits and pieces and they make their own retro lampshades which I love, so may have to purchase one for our spare room, will let you know as soon as I go on line, which I think is for September so could get a few more Christmas sales!

THE BAD

http://www.woodlandburialparks.co.uk/

Not normally one to talk about my family, but my father passed away on Friday from Cancer and we have found this lovely woodland burial park a couple of miles from my Mother in Epping Forest, it is a wonderful place where everything has to be biodegradable and only a small wooden plaque or carving is allowed and the forest is maintained and not disturbed. We have chosen a coppiced Chestnut tree to put his ashes under (we though it fitted as he was a ginger nut!) which has 4 trunks like a big hand, which you can sit in, and listen to the sounds of the forest.

THE NOT SO UGLY

http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/
My Baby Blonde design stuff has been accepted to sell on Notonthehighstreet, which I know could generate a lot of sales so again am chuffed, my only problem is the cost! I know of only one folksy / etsy seller selling on there (halfanacre) so may have to wrack her brains as to sales and did they increase a lot as to warrant the cost, if anybody else sells on the site, I would be grateful for your knowledge and for you to say yes, do it!!
