Big Blogmas Project Day 9 : Busy and tired!

So I've been quiet for a few day's and I've missed some of the Big Blogmas project! Keeping up with Christmas order's, 2 blogs and various market/craft stalls and open studio days is pretty hard, but I'm trying my best :) 

I decided to open my studio up to the public on Saturday so people could come and have a look around browse some piece, make orders and generally just have a chat.

Friday was spent prepping and cleaning with my lovely friend Amber (I did the prepping, she did the cleaning, thanks Amber!) Here is the end result!

I'll be doing more of these in future, and I also have a stall this Saturday at the Thorne craft market, so if you have any last minute Christmas gifts to buy, come along and say hello!

Big Blogmas Project Day 6 : New song obsession.

Nothing much to post on today since I've been so busy preparing my studio for tomorrow's open day (eekk!)

So I'll leave you with a song I'm a little obsessed with at the moment

Big Blogmas Project Day 5 : A Little Disney Magic

A few day's ago we received a really lovely review from the people at My Student Style about out Disney inspired jewellery so we thought we would share the collection on here with you fellow blogger's.

You can check out the review here

Basically the idea for this collection came to me as I was watching Beauty and the beast with Evie on a Sunday afternoon. The collection features bracelets and necklace's with tiny little character charm's and a little bottle with a quote from the Disney film in. These are available in a gold or silver colour, and can be customise with any character or quote! Necklaces are £9.00 and Bracelets are £6.50

The quote in the bottle read's - I want adventure in the great wide somewhere. I want it more than I can tell. And for once it might be grand To have someone understand I want so much more than they’ve got planned… Belle -

You got your own style, now let it come through. And remember no matter what, you got to be you. -Sebastian

What do you think of this collection? Who is your favourite character, and what is your favourite quote? :)

Big Blogmas Project Day 2: Cleaning up!

So today was spent cleaning up my studio after the mad rush of the thorne Christmas market stall on Friday!

Pretty please don't judge me for the mess! When I'm getting ready for a stall, I tend to chuck things everywhere and forget about until next time (then regret not tidying sooner!) Also with doing so much sewing, the floor is constantly covered in thread etc, as are my clothes! 

Before the clean up

After the clean up :)

Anybody want to take a bet on how long it will stay this way? ;)

Also, I decided to make myself something pretty and christmassy to have on my desk :) 

In other non cleaning new's these pretty bead's arrived in stock today 

And I currently have a giveaway running on my facebook page to win this one off piece!

Just check out the facebook page for details!
