A Victorian Evening

Good evening!

Today's blog sees me sharing some pictures of Victorian style letters I have hand painted recently.

This is currently my favourite font - so pretty and girly. It takes quite a while to paint them due to all of the curves, nooks and crannies - but the end result is by far worth all of the effort.

The large signs saying 'Sparkledust' and 'Cups A Candy' were bespoke orders for other crafters who use them in shop fronts and at craft fairs. Why not contact me for a quote for your store/fair .....

A touch of Vintage

Time for a little late night blog! After an exhausting weekend, lots of painting and packing of parcels I will need a big bag to visit the Post Office tomorrow!

Thought I would share a beautiful set of letters I have done spelling out 'VINTAGE'. Decorated in beautiful candy colours and finished with polka dots, I LOVE them!

Everything's going to be all White ... With a little pink

Today has seen me seeing white ... Literally. I had to paint some large chunky Victorian font letters all in white!

When they were all finished I had a pink plaque to make for a friend of mine who has recently become a grandad!

Phew another busy day! Posted out 4 orders and delivered the plaque!

Now snuggling in the sofa with Frank (our miniature dachshund) and Jack (our Jack Russell).

Getting Noticed

Well, it's been a while since my last blog - due to time and trying to 'get myself out there'!

I have now joined Folksy - and created a shop.  Whilst listing every day for a week or two I have so far not had a sale.  So joined some Folksy Forums and had some fantastic advice from fellow crafters.  Namely blogging more!  And to read a blog by say it says - which offers some great tips!

I have also joined the Handmade Crafts Directory - whilst I'm still trawling through the site it seems quite easy to use and you can add links to your various sites, shops and pages - be it Folksy, Etsy, Facebook or your own website.

You can follow me on Facebook here. 

I've been extremely busy with orders and have now attended my first craft fair - although to be fair it was a bit of a wash-out in more ways than one!  Wettest day of the year - and the 'craft fair' also had a car boot all rolled in with it.  More research next time I think!

Pics above of some letters I've just finished for a little girl - INDIA.  Extremely busy with orders at the moment - but will endeavour to try to blog more often and add lots of pics!

Bye for now x
