So much for being organised~
Remember my genius new way of keeping custom orders in check? So much for that. Somehow my inbox is flooded with customs, and only 3 actually written up on cards & pegged to the board. Hmmm… Book keeping? All it takes is a little time each week, but I’m MONTHS behind. Again :(

The most beautiful and eloquent words…
that I have ever received for one of my products. This is from the beautiful Michelle (Bohemianism – the divine jewellery I keep raving about!) ♥ I was moved to tears by what she said!! “There is nothing to be underestimated about the glorious feeling of acquiring an original design that you know nobody else [...]

beautiful feedback
This might be my favourite comment ever: “…he has received them and loves them and wears them a lot. My mother was trying to convince him to save them for special occasions so he has something nice to wear, but he said pish posh to that. He said “They’re very well made. I am wearing [...]

The book bags are done
If you want one, you’ll just have to go to St Andrews Market and buy a book (or three) from my friend Daisy. She will give you the bag for free!! :) In celebration of completing this project, the last bag was treated to a wee little doily :) Hooray!!

Skirts for Bec’s Lil
This is the pocket for one of them. I think it looks nice against the white broderie (which the pocket is lined with), but well…white and kids isn’t really practical, is it? I’d really like some tea-stained white linen, or maybe a nice chocolate linen, and put on a simple dress, or pair of pants. [...]
