More booty finds

Yesterday went car booting again and braved the weather and had better luck with finding things this time. We came away with a new dining room chair as all our cane ones broke. I've Been looking out for these type of chairs in particular. Cafe style 30's and 40's era. This one were going to leave as wood and was £5.

This framed print was only £1 and looks good on our picture wall!

New Look

Queenie Quilts has a new look! Yesterday I designed a new banner online (from etsbannergenorator) and I'm really pleased with the finished look. The colours and patterns are more fitting for the products that are on the shop, and ties the whole look together well. I wanted something lighter and airy. I loving the pattern for the background, be great if I could find some fabric that matches!What do you think?

baby quilts

Its all go today, another Rabbit sold on Etsy which is great.  Lovely green one off to a good home. There flying!  Off to the post office again, this time in the rain.  C'est la vie.
Spent time today taking shots of the baby patchwork quilts to go online. Ive been putting these off so far as they can be tricky to photograph,  but now I have a better camera it was easier, so what do you think??

Sales

I have new found patience for crafting and blogging again. I took my eye off the ball understandably becoming a Mum, that I haven't really done anything but look after Pearly. 

However over the weekend I had a surprise large order. Horay! Selling a stuffed rabbit and 2x cloud cushions. 

I get such a buzz from making a sale, knowing that somebody likes the products that I've spent time and effort making. So much so, that its spurred me on to make more things, or as much as I can do whist Pearly is asleep.. which actually isn't much.

I  really LOVE sending the products out, wrapping them up, in tissue and ribbon and showing off my new business cards! Such a large part what you sell is in the branding, packaging and presenting the items and can be really fun in experimenting with what compliments the products. 

So, please have a look at new rag dolls and teddies listed in Etsy, (link at the top of the page.) 

Pearl

Pearl Shakira born 30th April, is the reason for not being able to update my blog until now, but 2 months on, I'm able to use her sleep time, as time to update my on-line shop, blog and post and try to make new things.

I cant believe that she is finally here, after spending 9 months of non stop sewing to pass the time of being pregnant I thought that she would never come out. Then, out she popped on time, on her due date in the afternoon. How considerate.
