Hello Blog!

I know I keep complaining about never posting anymore, and I’m going to complain some more!

It’s been a super busy few months and I’m struggling to find time to do anything, but today after a lovely trip to Worcester Flea Market and a detour to Baileys homestore on the way back, I’m feeling more inspired (and Christmassy) than ever!

If you haven’t heard of Bailey’s - you need to check it out!

It’s quite easily the most amazing collection of handmade, ethical and vintage products in one AMAZING barn conversion. Despite not being able to take any photos inside, the outside gives the most amazing impression. As soon as I turned up, I already felt inspired to get the shop up to scratch!

Pre-Christmas resolution - lots going on, BLOG IT!

Ooof new display bits! LOVE old cotton reels ♥

Christmas at the Creeds, with the poor dog roped in to giving sleigh rides for kids, he loves the festive cheer!

Too much lining!

I’m on the 4th solid day of making 43 ballet dresses for the ballet school in Cowbridge and no matter what I do I just feel like I’m getting nowhere!

There’s still endless amounts of fabric to get through, its pretty much never ending… I’ve just had enough of lining - especially in pink

Lesson learnt - there is no way I can take on a challenge like this with 2 jobs and a business to take care of, at least I’ll know that for next time, until then I’m cracking on with the thought of making the most amazing dress I can dream of once I’ve finished, and I’ve got the perfect one in mind :)

Hooked on you biscuits!

I spent yesterday at Cowbridge Craft Fair (dying of flu) and while having a stroll through Helen’s stall of Jamie Oliver at home Christmas collection I found the most amazing set of Christmas cookie cutters... oh my god.

I just love them! Perfect for the holidays, cookies on your mug! I just think they’re so cute. The pack contains a collection of angel wing shapes, hearts, stars, birds and baubles! Only available from your Jamie at Home representative.

I will be picking mine up in October to make some epic mugs of hot chocolate!
