Hello! I have received my new business cards ready for my stall at Shipley Alternative please click here to see them. Also, isn't it lovely that the sun is out. It makes everything just a little bit better x

My Etsy and Folksy shops

I now have a Folksy shop and an Etsy shop and I will be listing more items soon. I love custom orders so please let me know if there is anything special you would like making. I also have lots more items via my Facebook page.

Here's some pics of my most recent custom orders...

Cartwright Hall Exhibition

Today I saw something amazing! Wall mounted nail art by Marcus Levine. 

You can read about him here and the exhibition here.

Mollie Makes me happy!

I think Mollie Makes is the best thing to hit the shelves in a long time!

I have just read issue two from cover to cover.

I didn't think it possible but I have enjoyed it just as much, if not more, than the first issue.

I can't wait to make things like this tweet tweet!

 Here's some of my favourite finds
1. Once upon a time there was Dottie Angel

Check out her cute Etsy store and look forward to the The Suitcase Series Volume Two: Dottie Angel

2. I really enjoyed looking the the blog of Supermarket Sarah!
There is a nice article here. You must check out her walls!!

3. I have seen Everything Alice advertised in lots of magazines this week!

I did a big "wowee!!" and it accidentally (on purpose) fell into my Amazon basket :-) 

I can't wait for a handmade Mad Hatters Tea Party!

...(there's actually loads more I'd like to share but I need to sleep for now!)

x Would be great to hear from anyone else who reads Mollie Makes x

Rag Market

I must tell you about last Sunday!
It was full of bargains including vintage and funky fabrics and lots of buttons.

The Rag Hag leads the way!

There were two venues for the rag market.

I love trips to Hebden Bridge, there are so many arty crafty shops. There are fantastic galleries too and I especially like Heart Gallery.

Bargains! £1 and 50p curtains. Can't wait to make, make, make!

 Vintage fabric £1

 King size quilt cover £3

 A HUGE piece of material which is longer than my house! £3

Oh, goody bags!

I was also pleased to bump into the owner of one of my stockists - Handiworks!

New stock

I was treated to some new tapes for my birthday! They are so pretty. I've made lots of new sets with them please pop by Lou La La to see x 

 

Here's a couple of my favourites...

  My new stockist is Unique Arts. If you're passing, call in! You can also purchase items created by the wonderfully talented Emazingemz Emporium!

Twenty-Something!

It's my birthday!

Hanging my cards up has meant I haven't accidentally lost any down the back of the fireplace!

Thank you to everyone who made it special...including...

...Robbie, Gary, Jason, Howard and Mark!

Take That you were AMAZING!

The sun has got its hat on...

...And Lou La La came out to play! The day started off by finding a home for the desk and drawers that were given to me.

Then, taking advantage of the good weather, I set up a workshop outside. I used some cosmic shimmer spray and then spray varnished these pegs!

 Whilst they were drying, I started painting pegs to match the ones I'd already taped and decorated. Pegs then quickly took over the house! I'll save all the packing for tomorrow, this could take a while!

 I also completed a custom order.

Now it's nearly bed time.
