Look What I Won!

Ooh, it's been a long time, hasn't it? Did you miss me? Good to be back...

My couple of weeks off began really well - look what arrived in the post for me! I won a blog giveaway...from Sara, at Sara's Texture Crafts...for these earrings! Sara produces gorgeous felt earrings and brooches, fabric packs and beads (here and here), and a huge range of written articles in various places - they always make for good, informative reading. Check out her blog for more information and for great hints, tips and general chat. She's a mine of information on fibres and embellishing, and is incredibly helpful and very giving of her time. Thank you, Sara. Love the earrings!!

Something else that may be of interest to you out there...printable canvas/linen/cotton A4 sheets that you can safely put through your home printer. Really?? Yes! Sara sells them here, and I've just purchased a couple of each to try them out. Interesting, isn't it? I'm thinking that I'll try and print some cabochons of historical figures, that I can edge with embroidery and include in some jewellery....could work, couldn't it?

Speaking of jewellery - I took a break from that too, so I have to get myself motivated! Things have slowed down in my shops lately (not adding anything new doesn't help), and simply renewing items isn't cutting the mustard. Must get working!!

Shopping List Saturday time tomorrow, so I think Sunday I'll give you a taster of what you've missed going on here whilst I've been away...
