Growing Stock

Slowly slowly I am building up my stock, I actually have a few nappy clutches now and 2 more ready to sew up. The orders have started coming in too, but I am once again impatiently waiting for fabric to arrive. Here's a few nappy clutches I've made.

You can see more on Etsy or Facebook.
I think I may start working on some dummy leads next, I've already made crochet ones so I'll try sewn ones next when I get a chance and find a pattern I like. I also feel like writing the pattern for my nappy clutch so others can make them. Never a dull moment in the Bing house!

Side Tracked

I have been a bit distracted by a bit of crocheting the last few evenings, mostly because I need a bobbin for black thread and I don't want to unwind my bobbins with white, pink and red on so I need to finish one of them before so I can wind the black thread and finish my punky nappy clutch.

So back to my previous "Tis the season" post I made a little Christmas wreath to go on the tree when it goes up on Sunday - Ooooh exciting - and I haven't really felt excited about Christmas this year, it has come around too fast and I am still in denial that it is only a few weeks away. Despite being in denial I have still bought and wrapped most of my presents!


I'm also waiting for the delivery of toy stuffing so I can finish my crochet donkey, I think he's going to be super cute and in my favourite colour wool and all I will be keeping him for myself. I wish that last statement was true but it is highly likely that my daughter will claim it for herself like she does with every toy I make that isn't sent out to a customer! See although I have my Etsy I also have Facebook page where I sell crochet items. So you can go check that out too if you like :)

Tis the season and all.

As Christmas seems to be fast approaching and I am in denial that it is just under a month away - even though I have wrapped most the presents - I have been making bits for me and the kids, hubby doesn't want me to make him a stocking, well I haven't really asked but he hasn't said anything so he can go without! Here are mine and the eldests stocking while I need to get some more red thread to embroider on my youngests.

 

I've also made my youngest a taggie blanket, due to the fact she has NOTHING for christmas because she has all her sisters hand me downs, the perks of having two girls, not needing to buy new clothes. Well we did get her a new christmas jumper .... Just need to get one for her sister now.



Finally, my Etsy store is slowly getting more and more items added to it, I will try and do at least one item a day but with Christmas coming up that may not happen.

Don't forget to buy handmade this Christmas!
