Family matters!

Well, can't believe that it has been a month since Mum arrived. We had busy time! She did a great job at helping me to get the store ready, not mentioning the food she cooked for u everyday:) And now she is gone and gonna miss her loads. We are trying to get ourselves down to see my family for Christmas.

Back to work! My first workshop went well. The girls have done a great job! These are the cards that Debbie, Katie and Lorna made:

The meeting was so successful that the girls have decided to meet up once a month to make cards! What a lovely idea!

And than it was time to say goodbye to Mum, I will never get used to it, tears keep falling down when we see her off. The choices I made make my life easier in a way but on the other hand my heart is torn apart. I miss my family and friends, all the time!

New home decor

I got totally bored with my lampshades. Thought, well haven't got much money so I will have to find a way to do it myself. Well, here they are: a bit of lace, fabric flowers, feathers and some yo-yo templates.

Here is one before I put my mark on it. Pretty boring, isn't it?

And here it is when I finished!!! I am so thrilled about it! It's one of my best projects!

And this one was made up using pom - pons and fabric and yo-yo templates. Very easy and fun to make. Just added some buttons in the centres and here it is. I am particularly proud of it!

The shop is open!

Well, first week into running our shop and it has been great so far. Customers are pretty excited about us being in town, we are both really happy! And I am privileged to do what I love - craft - while at work!!! What a blessing!
Anyway, recently I discovered felt! Totally addicted now! Must make things... :)
Here are few items I created just using felt and beads.

This is a simple Christmas tree decoration made out o felt, stitched ribbon and coronation thread.

Christmas wall hanging! Will look pretty in the window as well. So simple and enjoyable to make!

And few brooches made by hand. Love yo-yo's!
