super short but sweet post today folks
sweet being the operative word here since i've literally spent the day sewing up a set of five little plushie lollipops (while watching/listening to all of my Mighty Boosh DVD's)
they're for a lady in South Carolina who wanted a little set of girly lollipops to go in a vase in her daughters room
well they're all done now, would you like to see them?
of course you would . . .
she wanted them in all different shades of pink but the Island's few craft shops only seem to stock 3 colours so i had to use these purply ones as well
they're a little different to the usual lollies i make, mainly because i used satin ribbon for the stripes this time as well as embroidery floss
i hope they're ok, i mean i hope the customer who ordered them will be happy with them! hopefully i'll be able to post them out tomorrow
they were fun to make though, i love making these since i always get to use lots of girly colours and ribbons (and you all know how much i love ribbon)
anyway i'd be happy to sew together a new one for anyone out there that wants to get one (or two . . . or five!)
they're available individually or in sets of five from my little esty shop - The Candy Cove
i actually made another little lollipop a few weeks ago, a friend commissioned one as a gift for his mum for Mother's Day
now the photo is awful quality i know but i used big pink ric-rac and tiny ric-rac for the stripes + added a little matching tag
i have to make a start on a new mini plushie cupcake charm necklace tonight for a friend at College who really wants one
i didn't think people were that bothered about them but if anyone else wants one, let me know and i'll list them on the shop
i also need to get cracking on another little Fawn plushie for a Twitter friend who wants a pink/lilac one for her baby daughter's room
i'm going to add a felt flower to the ear (maybe) instead of a weird necklace thing + a little gingham bow on the front, hopefully i'll be able to make this one less flawed!
i'm using thicker, better felt so fingers crossed it'll look fab when it's done

nothing else for today,
tomorrow i'm heading out to celebrate my mum's Birthday, we're going to have lunch at the Alpine (for a change) and mooch around the shops so she can spend all of her Birthday gift vouchers
that's all folks . . .
