Sunday Showcase – Christmas Gocco prints

With my operation and lack of time with the big move back to Yorkshire I haven’t done a Sunday showcase in a while, so there is plenty to choose from. However, as it’s a month today until Christmas I thought I’d choose a few of my Christmas inspired prints as I prepare for 4 more craft fairs before Santa arrives. Both designs are inspired by my sketchbox animal sketches which I have simplified for my Gocco screens which are then screenprinted onto cards and baby grows.

Baby booties for sale!

Well, I’ve done it… Plucked up the courage to list my baby booties, and the stock that I currently have is now officially for sale on Folksy and a few on Etsy! I know it’s taken me a while but I was hoping for more of my feedback forms to have been sent back by now, but based on the feedback so far this is my new range in time for Christmas. Please feel free to contact me if there are any custom requests (already had a fab request for elf shoes.) I’m happy to make to specific size requirements or if you have seen a particular fabric in a different size please just message me.

As I can’t use the sewing machine until my hip is much better I’m off to do some sewing and planning the next sewn challenges. Have a great weekend, especially if you are at any Christmas markets/fairs.

Folksy Friday – December Elves

It’s been a while since I wrote a blog, but things have been so manic with work and all my creative projects on the go at the moment that I have hardly turned on the computer! I’m working on lots of exciting things including preparing for my craft fair which has now been postponed to 18th Dec due to the snow, filling my sketchbook for the sketchbook project that needs posting in less than a month (!) and of course continuing to make new items for my folksy shop, some of my faves being my new Christmas decorations, santa bag and desktop calendar. So, I think I have surprised even myself by deciding to join in with the December listing club on Folksy this month by listing an items every day.  I am in good company though, and here are some of my favourite hats to wrap up warm in for Christmas from fellow elves:

Hats and more – hand crochet hat (how cosy does that look!)

Nofkants curios – santa hat scarf (this just made me smile, which I needed today)

Imogen’s imagination – grey wool beret (my new fave hat style is the beret which I never really wore until a friend bought me one and now I can’t get enough)

Uniquely yours – cafetiere cosy (a hat for your cafetiere, or maybe more a scarf but everything needs a hat)

But time for bed now, a long weekend of crafting for my fair ahead.
