Colour Sorting


I bought this lovely wooden box on Sunday. 




In the shop it was sold as a Tea Box, which sounds lovely but you would need to be a regular tea afficionado and also have the space to display the box in your kitchen somewhere, which I don't.


So what should I use it for?


Thread reels?




Buttons?





Ribbons?

Family Market with Peas and Pods



So I've finally signed up for my first event here in Ireland and it will be right on my doorstep! I am really looking forward to it.

Peas and Pods also hold a family market on the second Sunday of the month at the Dublin Food Co-op, the next one is coming up on June 12th. More details about them can be found here on their website or on their Facebook page.

Every Girl Deserves A Dress


At the moment I tend to work on four or five projects at the same time - not something I recommend! I have also started signing up for a few events here in Ireland over the coming months so really need to get my act together and start working on my stock. But before that there was something else I had to do. A few weeks ago Louise from
Sew Scrumptious wrote about the charity action Every Girl Deserves A Dress. I couldn't help but feel inspired and so decided to take part. In the process I also convinced my mother, who is a very talented lady, to take part and this is the result: four gorgeous little dresses that will go in the post on Monday.




Let's hope they will bring a little sunshine in some girls' lifes, wherever in the world they may be.

Easter Break


I haven't been able to post or read much this week. School holidays and preparations for the little boy's birthday party this week-end are keeping me busy, as well as several orders that I have worked on. So it'll only be next week when I will finally get to finish the new products, let's hope the weather stays as nice as it is now for some product photos. Hope everyone has had a nice Easter week-end. We spent time colouring eggs, but most of all growing our cress-egg heads.

Fabric Love

Here is just a glimpse of what arrived this week. Now the task of cutting has begun, lots of new products will be in the shop this spring.





Have a lovely weekend!

P.S. This is the first time I am posting from my phone with a Blogger App - apologies if it looks funny in any way. But if it is good it will make posting a whole lot easier in the future.
