Making Buttons

Today's project...

... pretty felt scraps + cover buttons = lots of cute felt buttons!

Crafty Destash

I'm still feeling a bit under the weather, which is no fun. I have so many projects I want to be getting on with, but they're all going to have to wait while I take the time to rest and get well. Sigh.

So in the meantime, while I'm spending my afternoons sitting on the sofa watching TV, I'm slowly sorting through lots of boxes from my studio/office and having a thorough (but restful!) re-organise and clear-out. I've been meaning to do this for aaaages so I've got lots of crafty bits and bobs to "destash"!

I've just added the first batch of destash listings to the Craft Supplies section of my shop, including these crafty goodies...

... and I'll be adding lots more things over the next few weeks as I gradually get everything photographed & weighed. You can find all the destash listings HERE.

Oh, and I've also added a few more items to the "Sale" section of my shop, including the last pack of my Winter Robins cards (now just £2)...

... and my felt camera brooches (reduced from £15 to £10).

Surprise Loveliness

Look at all the loveliness I got in the post this morning - a surprise parcel of treats from my crafty chum, Laura:

Perfect timing, as I have been feeling a bit ill and a bit "ugh" for days and definitely needed some cheering up. What a star!

You can find Laura's shop full of prettiness, LauraFallulah, HERE.

Giveaway: Embroidery Thread Storage Box & Threads

I've decided to stop selling the embroidery thread storage boxes currently listed in the "Craft Supplies" section of my shop. They're super useful things (my embroidery thread stash is sooo much easier to use since I started storing them this way)... BUT I really need to clear some space in my studio so these bulky boxes have to go! 

The last few boxes I've got in stock can be found HERE.

I'm also giving away one of the small boxes... filled with a rainbow of 36 different thread (floss) colours already neatly wound on bobbins. Hurrah!

These are the Duchess brand stranded embroidery threads I usually sell in my shops (they're out of stock at the moment but I'm hoping to have lots of packs back in stock early next month). I made up this box of threads to use in my product photos for the storage boxes... and since I no longer need it (and have plenty of this thread in my stash already) I thought it'd make a lovely little giveaway prize to share with you guys :)

The little box of threads would make a great starter collection of threads if you want to try embroidery or cross-stitch for the first time, a sweet gift for a friend you want to convert to the joys of stitching, or a nice addition to your stash if you're already an avid stitcher.

Fancy getting your hands on this box of threads? Just leave a comment on this blog post for your chance to win! I'm happy to ship internationally, so anyone can enter. Leave your comment before 10pm on Saturday 2nd March, and I'll pick the winners at random on Sunday 3rd March.

Please make sure you leave a name or pseudonym (no anonymous comments please!) and leave a blog link, Twitter username, Etsy username or email address so I can contact you. 

If I'm unable to contact the winner within two weeks, I will pick someone else. If you're leaving a comment with your Blogger profile, please remember that you need to have your profile set to public for me to be able to get in touch with you. If you have problems leaving a comment here on my blog, you can enter via my shop's contact form instead.
