Oooops..

...my bad..

My poor little blog has been sat here patiently waiting and I've not been anywhere near it for the whole of March. Mind you, I've not exactly been doing that much crafting until after Mothers Day. The whole work thing was seriously getting in the way of any proper crafting due to overtime (which is always good financially). Its a bit difficult doing anything creative when you can just about see straight and don't even know what day of the week it is..

Then when I log into here, I see that Blogger is changing...don't... please... I liked it the way it was. Why does everything have to keep changing if it isn't broke in the first place? First Facebook with that Timeline thing, and now this. Oh well.. guess we'll just have to suck it and get used to it all..

 Have made a couple of cards.. a 30th birthday for a lovely friend and a baby boy one for the parents of Oscar who I made the bunting for. I loved the cross stitched bunting on the baby card that I decided it would be perfect for my friend's birthday card too. Everything else just didn't have what I was looking for.

I also have a few orders coming in..yay!! One is for a thank you for my new grandaughter card, then there is a couple for personalised bunting and matching cushions (possibly more) for 2 little girls, there is also 2 Coral (35th) wedding anniversary cards..pictures to follow :)

Another new item

..bit like buses.. you wait for ages and then things start turning up all at once.

This, I'm really pleased with as it turned out much better than I had imagined it would. This bunting is for a friend who had her baby boy a week early.  Bunting is made to order and takes a couple of days to complete. One this size, 7 flags and just under 1metre in length is £15, with an extra 50p per letter if you would like it personalised. Bunting for any occasion can be made and prices discussed if you require longer lengths. Either leave me a message on here or email me at ladybugcreations@hotmail.co.uk

Hello March..

........you appear to have arrived quickly. What have you done with January and February? At least you have brought the sunshine and warmer weather with you which is encouraging my spring bulbs out from their winter sleep.

Lots of things on the drawing board* for this month. Hopefully I can transfer them from there to actual finished pieces (*mind and doodles on paper). There is also a website under construction and a Facebook page has magically appeared..maybe the fairies did it ;)   

I didn't realise that I'd not posted the photo of the latest cubes, I think they look lovely with the printed fabric along with the stitched aida.

Exciting news...

...well it is to me anyway.
My mum has said that I can have her 'all singing, all dancing' Pfaff sewing machine. She's even had it put in for a service before I get it. I can't wait.

I've spent many a happy hour messing about with it when I was younger (under mums' supervision of course) Used to enjoy getting it to sew my name on scraps of fabric.. And now it is all mine to do that again... I mean to sew my pieces together like a proper grown up type person...





British Love

Had this idea just pop into my tired little mind about making a Union Jack heart. Yes I know its now just known as a Union flag, but I'm old fashioned and would miss 'Jack' so its a Union Jack heart to me. I'm really pleased with the way it has turned out. I now have an order for a pink and a blue version from my sister so that my niece and nephew can have one above their beds. Going to keep a look out for some camouflage felt and make him one out of that too (he is completely Army barmy)  The hearts are just £5 each and can be made in any colour combination you wish. I'm planning a purple/lilac and white one after the pink and blue have been made.

Perfect for showing your pride during this Jubilee/ Olympic year. 

New Item alert!
