An industrious weekend....

I was on a roll, my creative juices were flowing and I have had a really industrious weekend. 20 Minuters became hours. We, of course, had to supermarket shop, eat and clean the house as we do any weekend but in between, whilst hubby watched rugby and football on the telly, I dumfed, dyed, beaded and finished off several of the projects I had been working on. I thought I'd share the results with you to brighten this grey gloomy morning. The lighting is really poor and I will have to take much better photos of them all before putting them in the shop later but I think you will get the idea.



This is the latest dumfed picture I have made. The pinks and really delicate and with the little bit of red in their centres they really come to life. I'm really pleased with this one.











This is another batch of cards to replace some that were sold last week. These cards are proving very popular so I'm really glad I love making them.....there will be more made later today because Twiglet is coming down to join me for our Funday Monday. :-)










These are some really lovely magnetic clips I bought. I have really enjoyed dumfing the flowers to pretty these up and I'm sure any Mum would find this a really lovely gift on Mother's day. The colours of the flowers are vibrant so I really do hope for some bright daylight later to take better photos of these for the shop.

I seem to be juggling my day to day sewing with restocking the shop this week. As I'm putting new things in the shop they are flying off the shelves :-) Twiglet and I are really excited and maybe just a little amazed at the response we are getting [I guess none of us really see ourselves and what we make as others see them]. We have had lots of really lovely comments and oodles of encouragement.
I seem to spend each day extending my table to do my dumfing then folding it down to be able to accommodate customers needing fittings. I'm not complaining....I really love being kept busy and buzz with every new challenge.


What you see is just how it is this week....No tidying or organising done to do my show and tell and yes, the mess really is mine....that's how I work.



My floor gets covered in threads and snippets of materials and ribbons etc. I will hoover this up as soon as I go from here because I am expecting more customers this morning.



On my table you will see several things I am working on at the mo. Julia [she of the WOYWW fame] ordered a couple of packs of my dumfed cards so I am trying to restock the card shelf by making a few more toppers for cards. Along side those on the front of the table are some really super magnetic clips that I am embellishing [these will be appearing in the shop soon :-)].



Also this is the latest picture I am working on. It is one to be mounted on an artists canvas and I am now beading the middle of the sunflowers.









I have a pile of curtains here...some are done and some are waiting for Twiglet to come and do the grovelling on the floor for me to cut them. [My replacement knee doesn't allow me to kneel so I need big sister's help to do curtains as the floor is the best place for doing the measuring and cutting.] Under my curtain pile is the Really Useful set of boxes that I keep all my card making supplies in.








This is a really lovely floaty evening dress I will be altering today. It is beaded so it's yet another dress that I have to remove the beads to alter and then will have to re bead it after. A tricky job but I will do this first as soon as day light improves sufficiently. :-)

Well, that's what my day will be full of. How about you? Go over to Julia's blog and join in the show and tell fun for our 'What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday'

Don't forget the Gift Draw is still open in the shop so pop over to be in with a chance to win the goodies.
