Vietnam / heather ross / nani iro

Heather Ross - ' far and away' is with us 

@ 

www.celticfusionfabrics.com

Nani Iro has arrived in the shop definitely my favourite stock in the shop at the moment  the blue is beautiful

I have to say Vietnam was just fab .. the range of crafts there are mostly wooden .. and of course the classic twee bamboo hat .. Fabric was ... well I was  a little disappointed .. nothing too amazing but very reasonable ... Graphics wise it was great .. great lettering .. funky stamps .. loved it  

Now back to more serious business .. work and fabric and the like. The beautiful evening are getting shorter and shorter.. less wine in the garden and more cosying up at the fire- a great time to start making and creating..

WE HAVE A WINNER

We have a winner for your birthday competition ... (drumroll) and it is 

Olivia wells ..

 so our fab prize (of your choice is off to you) CONGRATS 

Myself and Jim are off to Vietnam for 2 weeks and we are both very excited with backpacks in tow (never too late ) a little less fancy than  a nice pullalong case .. but hey you can's get a suitcase under your sleeper bed on an overnight train .. sharing with 6 other people in a tiny corridor..(now that I think about it - have we made the right decision ???)

We had a really great mention in "sew hip" magazine.. as stockists for the new cloud 9 organic fabrics .. I am hoping that this range is going to be a great success...

Better hit the road .. oh yes some  golden oldies .. back in the shop .. check 'em out - you will not be dissapointed

Time to sketch.. yipee

I love selling fabric .. sourcing it .. especially trying to find that something special - that I think others will love .. but what I really love is sketching .. On my way up to St Albans last week -(to pick up a fab (ebay) mirror from a lovely lady named sally I was working on my new ideas for some atomic fabric sketches .. in the hope that I will be able to print them myself .. Anyway I just thoughtI would pop it on here to spur myself  to keep  going .. here goes ...  illustrator here i come ..........

Bunny brigade

I feel in love with a bunny patten that was give to me buy a friend, who I hasten to add makes the most beautiful plush penguins that I have ever seen...  and I think I am on a mission to make a miny bunny brigade, I aim to make 20 and I have already made 10 .. (i think ) - I would like to list them on folksy .. to see how they get on .....  

I would love to use some of my new ribbons to  decorate them .. somehow .. stay tuned to see how I fair .. might turn out to be a very small army .

for the little nibbler

 A friend of mine had a new baby a while back and I have promised her that I would make her something sweet .. so I thought  these cute letters make out of fab coloured  fabrics would look really sweet hanging over her cot .. one squeeks and the other one ... (not sure but i am sure it will get a lot of chewing.. I hear she is a real nibbler.
