Oooooooooh and ARGHHHHHHH !!

Ooooooooooooh !!

How FAB are these ?

Beautiful reels of packing / sticky tape !!

I've been looking for something like this for AGES ! Personally, I'm not really a fan of the Japanese / Kawaii type tapes but when I was wrapping gifts at Christmas (we hand-stamped our own wrapping paper this year), I thought that it would have looked even more lovely if we'd have been able to use a nice tape.

Last week I came across this fantastic tape (along with a number of other beautiful items from a new supplier) and decided that I HAD to have it ! So, everyone will now be receiving birthday presents in hand stamped paper and done up with this tape. They also have Christmas designs available so our Christmas gifts will all be wrapped with that this year .... for sure !

All of this gorgeousness is now loaded onto the website, is being sold by the reel (we have 2 different widths available) and is ready to go to new homes right now. We only have limited amounts of each design at the moment as we're just "trialling" it, but I'm pretty sure it will be very popular so if you try and order and it's out of stock, it will be back in stock very very soon.

Now - ARGHHHHHHHHH !

Before we re-opened after Christmas I had a real good sort out in the Studio and put everything away and it all looked beautifully tidy. This is what it looks like today.

You see - ARGHHHHHHH ! I can't stand it. Fingers crossed it will only be like this for a very short time. Hubby is putting together all of the drawers to go into the new Ikea units and as soon as that's done, everything will have a new home and calm and organisation will be restored .... hopefully.

Now. Another new item that has been added to the website.

Scrap Bags full of 1.5mm thick felt !! Priced at £6 for 50 pieces (bargain !). Get them here

And, a few more items have been added to the SALE. They're end of line items of stock that we will be discontinuing. So, if you want some more baragins (and let's face it, who doesn't?) then get yourself over to our SALE section and see what you can grab !

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

Happy New Year everyone ! I hope you've had a fantastic Christmas and great New Year spent with family and friends.

I feel like I've had a very well deserved rest over the holidays - I didn't look at my website for days and days so was amazed when I did finally log-on and found rather a lot of orders there ! What were you all finding to buy ?? I had virtually no felt goodies available for a loooooong time but I am very pleased to let you know that I have finally received a replacement order so the felt sheets, felt balls and wool roving that were out of stock are now back on the website and are waiting to be snapped up.

I have to say that after TNT lost my shipment I got really fed-up and disheartened with my whole little business. Even though there was absolutely nothing I could do about the situation I found myself in, I was fuming with the shipping company who had no idea how much trouble and upset they had caused me. I had even got to the point at one stage where I was within a day of shutting the company down entirely, but, after receiving so many lovely encouraging emails, phone calls and Christmas cards from lots of my customers, I decided there was no way I was going to let the horrible shipping company get the better of me. TNT had disappointed me, but there was no way I was going to disappoint my lovely customers, so, after a nice break over Christmas I'm now back and raring to go !

One of the things that kept me going was the fact that I had lots of lovely new products on order. Many of them have now arrived and are now loaded onto the website - click here to see them or you can go to the "Just Arrived" section on the website. More new products are on order and I'll let you know as soon as they get here.

Now, my SALE starts on Monday 4th January (that's TOMORROW !). Lots of end of line products up for grabs with up to 70% off some items. As always with SALES, there's very limited stock on some of the items .... so be quick

I'll look forward to seeing you on the website tomorrow .... if not before !

Today is ....

..... HAPPY ELF JOKE DAY !!

Yes, according to my 3 year old monkey, today is Happy Elf Joke Day and you need to walk around playing jokes and tricks on everyone all day ! Like the trick where you have a pretend packet of chewing gum and when you pull the chewing gum out, the little mouse trap thingy flies over and whacks your finger ... HARD ! Oh how we laughed (the first time). It's starting to wear a little bit thin now and my finger is rather sore. Roll on next Monday when half term is over !!

Now, I was being a complete numpty recently and ordered the wrong colour felt squares !

So - I've got twenty 10x10 inch darkish turquoise squares (I guess you'd call them aquamarine) in the 4mm thick range, which I don't really want (I stock the the lighter colour) and wondered if anyone could make use of them? They're listed here on my website and I'm only charging £1 a piece instead of the usual price of £2.25.

If you want to grab yourself a bargain, then be quick because when they're gone ... they're gone !!

And this is a little sneeky peek of the new buttons that will be making an appearance on my website very very soon

Have a very HAPPY ELF JOKE DAY EVERYONE !!
