Crafter's Corner

Thank you Sheal. Sorry i thought i replied i think i must of read this before bed and them dreamt i had replied. Im hoping you are right and it will get me some more sales

Recently had my first australian order which was exciting!!

My Seren Sketches store also got a custom order request on the first day it opened which was great as well

Spent the last two days creating a pen pot for my desk. I got the douwe egberts orla keily jars which are great for my pencils but too deep for my pens so I used a kidney bean tin to make a holder for them.

I sprayed it orange two days ago and yesterday drew tulips all the way round with a sharpie



its too deep for my tipex tho luckily i have a half sized tin of haggis in the cupboard so I might have to have haggis on toast and then spray that up for the tipex, rubber and pencil sharpener

 

Yay! I went to the Plant Fair at St Michael's Hospice yesterday......and there sat some very familiar looking teapot cosies. The lady said they were made by a very nice lady called Jenny - who wasn't there at the time, or I would have said "Namaste" :-)

 

Namaste JJ28. What a perfect "fair weather day for the Plant Fair". Hope you got some nice bits and pieces for the garden,
Jenny namaste

 

I didn't think they had many plants there this year, there seem to be more at the Open Gardens - Winchelsea ones had garden bits & bobs as well as plants. I did get a lovely burgundy coloured osteospermum. Then I went to plant sale at Three Oaks in the afternoon.....different story - vinca, astilbe, geraniums, campanulas, runner beans (mine looking a bit sick) so now have to do a great deal of clearing and digging as everywhere cleared so far is "spoken for" with plants I've already got. I'm starting to feel like a gardener....

 

Awesome!

How did they get in touch with you?

 

I just replied to their Facebook status and was asked to drop them an email

 

I think I will follow them on facebook....

 

I have been meaning to tell you they also posted this competition thing and didnt know if you would be interested or not http://www.justfabrics.co.uk/competition/

 

Hmm Cotswold though. Dunno anything about that area lol. Did you enter?

 

not yet. But i googled some wild flowers that grow in the cotswolds so thought i could just draw them and send it in lol

 

Fair enough.

Here's my latest project, a used tin that I was given by a friend. I resprayed it and then painted it so I could fill with fudge and send on to my nan for her birthday.

 

Love it JJ and so will she,
Jenny

 

ah thats lovely Jane :-)

it remind me of the traditional gypsy caravans that would be painted and decorated

 

Aw I would love one of those to live in during the summer. I'm sure I'm seeing them with rose tinted specs though.

 

I want one too but more as a studio or retreat in the garden

I don't do any form of camping lol
