My very own little shop

Myself and the shop bunnies are very pleased to announce that:

The StitcherScribbler Etsy Shop is Open!!

I haven't done the big everything-listed-opening I was planning on, instead I am going to be listing a few items each day.

Today was Bunny Day,

so these two bunnies made their way over there and are looking for new friends

"Goldie" and "Gracie" Bunny

And there are a couple of Flossy Bunny Mini Tote too.

"Flossy loves Chocolate" and "Flossy Wants to be Filled with Chocolate" Mini Totes

The next shop fill will be a Cake Day!

I do hope you'll pop over there and take a look sometime.

Now that my little dreamed-of shop is a reality, I am feeling quite emotional. I'm proud to have completed the first step, and very excited about the challenges that lie ahead. But mainly I am thankful to all who got me there, and that includes you. The kind words, advice and support I have received have been so amazing and have given me the confidence to do this. I thank you all dearly for coming on this adventure with me.

Today's the Day...

...I set myself for getting my etsy shop up and running.

Still not there yet :(

I arrived home today (a day later than planned) and the huge amount still to be done hit me (finding out shipping costs, sorting photos, tagging, admin bits and... ummm.. sewing!).

So I'm here for a quick hello and a sorry for so long between posts (after posting daily, these days without have felt so odd!), before getting down to some serious work. I'm really hoping to be back later this evening to say I have listed a couple of items and I have an officially opened shop!

Wish me luck!

Edible Happy!!

I spent yesterday making this edible 'Happy' cakes for Gaz's belated Birthday.

When I say 'made', I do in fact mean 'decorated some shop-bought mini sponge cakes'. There is a good reason I make felt cakes, and that is because as much as I wish and try I have never managed a good cake yet. And I am a very messy cook, felt is much tidier.

We ate them before setting off last night.

And because of the cake decorating and getting ready to go, I missed my post last night. My post-a-day is over and I'm a little sad about it, as its been a great experience. As well as it being the most wonderful motivation and inspiration to work, open up my own little shop (almost) and keep blogging, I have found some fantastic people and blogs to add to my reading list too.

Take care all and have a lovely weekend!

Is it a bird this time?...

Is it a plane? Is it Super Mum again?

No, it's Super Dad!!

The 15th June is Father's Day, and for it, I have made little Super Dad badges.

The badges are felt with 'Super Dad' handstitching. They are 5 cms tall and wide with a brooch back. I thought it would be a cute to mount them on a Super Dad doodle so the badge looked like his body.

Using combinations of blue, red and yellow, I made 5 different badges.

These 3 went to Archie & Mabel's today and I have 2 to put in my etsy shop next week.

***

Father's Day felties are ready now as I'll be spending some stitch-free days away.

(I may sneak a little embroidery with me to keep any crafting cravings at bay. Hello, my name's Jenny and I'm a stitch-aholic.) 

I'll be back home on the 27th, ready to open shop on the 28th, but those days away may mean an end to my Post-a-day-in-May.

Hope to see you tomorrow!

The Etsy Adventure begins...

I did it!

I have my very own little shop over on Etsy!

For the moment, it is a little empty shop of mine. It will be filled with fabric treats soon, as I still plan to open up properly next Wednesday, the 28th. 

With a week to go, I thought I would make a start on setting up the shop and I'm pleased to say it was a very easy process. Not at all scary or confusing, and surprisingly quick too!

You'll find my shop at http://stitcherscribbler.etsy.com

Please stop by sometime for a peek.

Happy Wednesdays!!

Birthday Girl

'Simone and the daisies' Tote

It is a very dear friend's birthday today and I made her this tote as part of her present.

I wanted it to be special so I made up a pattern for a new shape and tried to think of something different to decorate it along with a scribbled girl...

I must admit that I am so enchanted with the shape.

Its a lovely balloon bag with pleats, a full-belly and rounded corners.

The girl was placed in the corner and surrounded by a scattering of cream and black stitched flowers, with a tiny bloom in her hair.

I hope she likes it as much as I do. 

Happy Birthday!

Another Bunny Day

'Goldie' Bunny

Goldie is a sweet bunny who likes to be seen.

Unlike Gracie, she is not going to be happy in the corner. She has put her best gold dress on and wants to be right at the front of the shop.

Goldie is bunny no. 8

 She wears a gold satin dress with a prettily stitched ribbon tied to the side. 

The gold fabric is special to me as it is a piece of the fabric I used on my first project at design college. I designed a Salvador Dali melting clock dress and this fabric is from the matching bag. I wish I had photos to share, I was so proud of that dress. It was the first piece I had ever designed and sewn, and it seemed fitting to sew my last piece into a bunny dress as I start my new etsy adventure.
