Southwell Ploughing Match and Show 26th September

We had a fantastic day in Linby on Saturday!

Busy, busy, busy all day!

A new sample cushion made from Hayley's drawing!

A couple of weeks ago and did a request for drawings from children... so i could make some more samples of my cushions.

My first sample has been made, and thank you so much to Hayley and of course her mum, Rachel who emailed it to me! The finished cushion is below, and I'm sure you'll agree, it looks lovely! I'm sure Hayley will make a wonderful designer when she is older!

Check out Rachels website http://www.glamglassgifts.com/ to see unqiue hand made funky jewellery!

Craft Fair today @ Ruddington

We had a craft fair today in the local village of Ruddington. This is a new venue for us, and the hall was lovely. The sun was shining all day.... and I think because of this... we had a quiet day! But, we made lots of friends with the other stall holders!

We got mentioned on MoneySavingExpert.com!!

Thank you Mums & Dads!!

I have receievd lots of childrens drawings and over the next couple of weeks, I shell make some sample cushion for a large show I have in October... Baby & Toddler Show at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham.

Have a look at the drawings ... and come back in a few weeks and see the finished cushions!

Thank you to everyone who has emailed me drawings!!

Calling all mums and dads....wanted.. children's drawings to make sample cushions... read on!

One of the unique gifts we make are children's cushions... designed by children for themselves!

We can convert the drawings into embroidered cushions & framed pictures, and personalise with the childs name, age and date the drawing was done. Each cushion will be unique to the child that painted it!

I have a large show in October and would like to make more samples to show off this technique... however, I don't have any children to draw for me!

If any ones children love to draw and would like to help, please contact me.... of course you will get a HUGE thank you... and any drawings I use, I will send you a completed cushion near to Christmas.

Please look at my website for more information and examples of what I need....

Thanks for your help in advance!
