A little bit of this and that ... part 2 !

Following up on last weekend's post about some of the stuff that I got up (that wasn't work related), I thought you might like to see what I've been up to this week !

My children's school will be having a Jubilee Street Party (in the playground) this Friday and all of the children need to dress up as either Kings or Queens or in red, white & blue (as you do !)  The smaller children have been asked to make a crown to wear on the day, and there will be prizes for the best crowns.  Here's our entry ...

How handy that I happen to run a craft supplies business !

I'm thinking that maybe it looks more like a Pope type of hat - but hey, it's the taking part that counts !!

Now - I'm afraid that I can't let this blog post be published with at least some news of what's new on the website !

This week we took delivery of a FAB new range of buttons !  We've got ...

JUMBO buttons - measuring a whopping 83mm 

Cute Scottie Dog buttons

Fun Flower buttons

and

Beautiful Bow buttons !

Also, we've managed to restock the bucket bags that we trialled a little while ago.  Now available in 8 different colours (the same as our purses), they're perfect for embellishing with needle-felted designs, buttons, ribbons, felt flowers and loads of other stuff.

 

Keep enjoying the sunshine peeps !

Blooming Felt Needs you !!

Hiya

If you don't subscribe to my website mailing list then you won't know what the latest products that I've added are ! So today I'll be doing some shameless plugging and also be asking for your help !

The latest products to be added (just this week) are:

Gingham, Spotty and Pencil Stripe ribbons. You can see a photo of some of the ribbons over there to the left of this paragraph - they're really popular so if you fancy some ... be quick !

Also, and I'm very excited about this one, I've added flat pad craft findings to the site. I've got bracelets, earrings, cufflinks, hair/bobby pins, rings, brooch pins and giant paperclips/bookmarks. Low stock on the bookmarks at the moment, but they'll be fully restocked at the end of January if you were wanting to buy some. Glue lots of lovely buttons and felt balls to any of these findings and create something really special !

A new selection of individual clown buttons have also been added to the site - choose from 14 different colours (a small selection shown below) - and at just 30p each they are a really cheap way to update your wardrobe - why not change the buttons on your coat and give it a complete new look ?

Now - I need your help.

I've been wanting to add a "Customers Gallery" to my website for quite some time now and have decided that the start of the New Year is the time to do it ! So, I'm looking for your photos and tutorials of projects you've created using your Blooming Felt purchases. In return for me using your photos on my website, you'll get full credits (of course) along with a free one-way link (and we all know how important these are for Google rankings !) to either your website, blog or another internet site of your choice. AND .... if I feature your project on this blog, you'll get a freebie gift as well !

To start you off, here's a photo from an Etsy customer in the US who bought one of my felt ball grab bags - how lovely is this ??

So, what are you waiting for ?? Off you go, buy something lovely and start creating ! I can't wait to see what you come up with. Click here to email me your photos and tutorials, or just go to the Contact Me page on the Blooming Felt website !

I'll look forward to hearing from you soon !!

What do you do ...

... when the sun shines? Well, I'll tell you what I thought about doing and that was tackling the huge mountain of ironing that has been waiting to be done for what seems like forever and is quite likely to kill a small child should it fall over. But then I thought "what the hell - the sun's shining and I need to take some photos .... OF BUTTONS !!"

So that's what I did.

And this post contains pictures of all the new buttons that have been added to the website today and are now ready for you to get your little hands on.

ENJOY x
