I am feeling much better thanks. Very tired though.
I went to deliver the bunting to the shop in the local mews and took some of my work with me. She is going to stock some of it on a sale or return basis, with 30% cut. But she thinks that I can demand more for the things I make. She mentioned a shop in a nearby village that sells buttons and beads etc so we went to see it while over that way. The lady there is also interested in selling some of my things on the same sort of basis. So I may have two outlets now!
So this afternoon I was tweeking some of the things I had already made a while ago, and when my buttons arrive i will be happier, then I can finish my wallets.
Right I am going to prepare a pattern for making a dress for me. want it for my birthday in a few weeks time.

Im so glad you are feeling better
Well done on selling outlets for your lovely work Im sure they will go well
I have to make some things for my mum's beautician to sell in her salon for me she has asked for smaller bits as she has limited space so Im going to do some nice make-up bags, glasses cases and maybe some small nail kits bags/holders, well something like that :rotfl:

Just to give you a quick update, some of the fabric from prints to polka dots arrived today, apparently the rest is now out of stock and the comment on the email is 'refund pending' for the out of stock items! I'll try and remember to check my bank account to see of it comes through!

Good luck to anyone else waiting on a delivery!!

MissPixie

Well done Mooloo you are doing amazing!

Glad some of your fabric turned up Dolly. I am glad I did not order from them when I was first considering it.

Well done mooloo and hart44 on getting outlets for your work. Hope you sell loads!

I have been a busy bee the past couple of days, making my first srt of bags. I wasn't completely happy with the way the zip ends lie at their ends, so had a fiddle, and came up with a solution with the bags I made yesterday.

The first ones are more make-up style bags, I made these on 28/06/2011.

I will be posting them off tomorrow to friends and family for birthdays past and future...so I have to make some more!!:



While the second ones are patchwork and more useful as pencil, jewellery or phone cases, all made on 29/06/11:



Thanks everyone for being such an inspiration. I am seriously thinking of making things to sell, and possibly teach other folk how to make things too (knitting, cross-stitch and crafting as well as sewing).

Today was the day I was to be made redundant, but as all the paperwork hasn't been finished, I am having to wait for my money.

I have no work to go to, so I have started having fun playing and making things!!!

I plan on having a go at making lots of different things in the next month or two, and see what I like making and what might sell well. I will also have created a sort of portfolio of work which I can then show folk, when I want to sell or teach later on.

I just have to get over the guilt of crafting all day! :rotfl:

Mind you, tomorrow I have to clear out of my craft room. It is DS1's bedroom and he is back home room Uni on Saturday! This evening I have been hunting round looking where I can put everything. I have found homes for the biggest three boxes...so that's a start. Think I will leave the rest of the tidying up until tomorrow. So back to working in the dining room...what a pain.

If I don't sell much, at least I wil have all my Xmas pressies made!! :rotfl:

Well done Mooloo and Hart. Its a great feeling when someone is interested in your stuff! Keiss they looks great and Miss Pixie I love your cushion. Just left a message on your blog. I think we all must be in the zone for selling just now. Ive been off work for a month now but as I cant sew due to moving house next week and my machine and fabrics being packed away for some time Ive spent my time setting up a new blog design and facebook page/folksy shop (as well as all the boring stuff like a new paypal account etc) and as soon as I get my craft room sorted Im ready to go! Feel quite excited about it now! Have had a few people ask about buying my bags and stuff already so fingers crossed.

Dollypop Im glad at least some of your fabrics arrived. x

Lovely makes Keiss.

Talking about selling stuff; do you remember I was going to sell some of my things in a local shop? Well guess what ? It's shut down before I even got any sales!
Actually it was quite lucky in a strange kind of way. I only noticed afterwards that the tutorial I used for the card holders was for personal use only. I'm going to have to take more notice in future.

I've been making myself a patchwork bag using some old curtains and lined with a duvet cover.
