They came !!!!

At last ..... look what came yesterday ! I was soooooo excited and have to say that I am very pleased with all of it. I felt like a child at Christmas - I couldn't contain my excitment and ripped open the box like a mad thing, to find numerous amounts of these gorgeous, gorgeous items .. along with lots of other stuff like lovely felt beads, felt mats (more about these at a later date), pencil cases & purses (shown in previous posts).

Pen / pencil covers

Coasters - to be sold in sets of 4

More coasters ... I'm also hoping to have both of these designs made up into place mats

Spotty pink heart garlands

Rocket pencil cases, to go with the caterpillar pencil cases I already have

A rather lovely bag, in gorgeous shades of brown

This is a felted doorstop which just needs to be filled with a bag of rice or sand - I have to say I'm rather proud of how this one turned out.

A redesign of the felted money box - the coin slot is on the roof, as you can see, and you can get your pennies out through a small velcro opening just beneath the roof.

This evening will be spent uploading it all to the website ready for sale to all of you lovely people ! And then I'll be spending evening after evening sewing on my little Blooming Felt woven labels that I purchased from etsy a few weeks ago.


I'm hoping the new site will go live tomorrow or Friday, so you should be able to buy from then. There are still a few items outstanding that will be added within the next couple of weeks and I am then hoping to add new designs / products on a regular basis, so do please keep checking the website and this blog regularly for updates - you can always join the mailing list on my website as well to be kept up to date.


And of course, I'm hoping to get some new suppliers at the trade fair on Sunday so will be adding a number of different items to the site after that. And don't forget, all of these items are in addition to the numerous other products that I've shown you in previous posts.

Do let me know what you think - I'd love to hear your comments.


My next post will be to inform you that the site is live.

Until then ...

Hiya

First of all I would like to say thank you to everyone who contacted me regarding my last post. It was really kind of you to send me your good wishes and cheered me up no end. THANK YOU !

As a result of all your good wishes, I managed to get my skates on and produced all of the following items over the weekend:

These will all make up part of my Christmas stock for the various events I've got coming up, the first of which is on the 14th September. I'm hoping that this event will give me an idea of the most popular items, so that I can sort out stock for the other 2 events. Of course, if you are interested in purchasing any of these items or commissioning something similar, do please let me know - sarah(at)pictureitinstitches.co.uk (replace the (at) with an @.

Last night I sat and beaded 10 keyrings, so I'm slowly managing to cross things off of my list.

I have also been very busy with my new Flickr account. Look over there on the right of the page and you'll see a few of my items. I've uploaded photos of lots of my products to Flickr and also joined a number of groups and have had an amazing amount of views of my photos. I've also had quite a few of my photos added to people's "Favourite photos" lists, which is very flattering !

That's it for today.

Until next time xx
