My new shop, website and the Homespun Fair

Hello! It's been so long! I have been busy getting my Etsy shop up and running plus, I have a sparkly new website too, take a look!
Now anyone in the world can buy pretty things made by me!
Hooray! *Happy dance*

In other news, I went to the Homespun and Vintage fair in my local village yesterday. Here's a link to their site:

There were some lovely things for sale! It was hard not to buy lots of things. I told myself I was allowed to buy one thing and came out with a very pretty greetings card.



Nice huh? I love the little wire hanger and the knitty top bit! It's made by a nice lady called Liz Lynch. Let's have a go at making something like it tomorrow! 
See you then!
Holly.

Sewing Tuesday: Beachy needle case.

Oh hello! 
I made this pretty beach style needle case holder today. I found a cool shell on the beach this morning it has the middle bit missing so it looks like a hoop. I've used it and a teeny drift wood twig toggle to fasten the needle case together. Want to learn how?


If you don't live by the sea then you could use an any twig and hoop shape you can find. Have a look around your garden! Maybe a key ring or a washer (ask you dad or uncle or granddad, they are usually good at finding things like that). You could also use just a sew hoop of string on instead of the shell hoop.
