Merry Christmas followers!

I have had a busy few weeks on the lead up to Christmas and not kept up todate with my blog!
But, it's better to be busy than not with Extra Special Touch... and lots of people should be opening gifts this morning and finding a special personalised gift!
Merry Christmas everyone and lets look forward to a fabulous 2010!

Tom Browns Resturant Christmas Market @ Gunthorpe, Nottingham

We are at the Christmas Market at Tom Browns, Gunthorpe, Nottingham on Saturday. This is a lovely riverside resturant and I'm sure we should have a busy day!
We need to wrap up warm as we are in a markee outside on the lawn!

Why not have some food at Tom Browns, before or after you have looked around the Christmas Market? www.tombrowns.co.uk

Patchings Christmas Market

Today I went to visit Patchings Farm Christmas Fair... and what a wonderful day!
All the craft stalls were beautiful and had some really unusual items... I got lots of Christmas shopping done!
I really want to exhibit there next year! I'm going to call them tomorrow and see what the situation is!

Embroidered Christmas cards have been added to our website

As you can see, I have been really busy over the weekend and made lots of embroidered Christmas cards!
The gingerbread man & heart are designed by me, and then embroidered onto 100% cotton fabric. I have appliqued a piece of handmade 0r textured paper, with a blanket stitch to each card and then attached the cut our embroidery design.
We have several Christmas gift / craft fairs coming up over the next few weeks, so I thought I should make a few cards ready! I have also added them to our website tonight.
We are selling them at £2 each or six cards for £10.00.

The hanging hearts are £6 each, they are finished with East of India ribbon and a wooden button. The gingerbread man is lovely, but takes quite a long time to make so I haven't made too many yet!

I love the Christmas napkins, they have the same heart shape as the hanging heart decoration and Christmas cards.. so everything matches!

I have been working away with work all week, and had lots of time to do hand sewing while I have been in the hotel in the evenings... also, i used the hotel as a backdrop for some of the photos!
Items will be added to our website over the weekend.
