Custom Mobile Orders

I love when customers come and know exactly what they would like, and I am able to make it for them! Its great when they have such strong ideas about what they would like, and even better when I am able to make it for them, and see their excitement when they get it.

I've had a few great custom orders recently! Here are some photos of them:



This lady wanted one of my circus themed mobiles, with the bunting round the top, in a very beautiful mix of pasetel colours, and with a unicorn, a dog, an owl, a bunny, an elephant and a penguin! So cute!



This lovely customer again knew exactly what they wanted - birds native to Cyprus, a sun, moon, stars and rainbows. It was very fun to create some new birds and I especially love how the Kingfisher turned out!

I'm always happy to make new custom mobiles, so if there is ever anything you think of that you'd like made into a mobile, please do let me know!

New for 2018!!

So it seems to have become tradition, that about this time every year, I come up with a new item to sell. Sometimes it's replacing something I've discontinued, but mostly because I think now is when I think about stopping hats until October ish again, so feel I'll have some empty space on my stall (this is never the case!!!).

So as we live in a very small flat, and I am definitely taking up more that my fair share of storage space in here, I have decided to stop selling cushions. They are very bulky, and also very stressful to have on my stall when it is wet/windy as there is risk of mud!!!

But it turns out I have been secretly hoarding a lot of the organic cotton prints I use for the cushions. So instead, and carrying on with the baby theme, I have decided to make some organic cotton dribble bibs, and bunny teethers.


I embroidered some for a friend's nephew!


Such cute prints!!


I found some non snagging velcro, and have trimmed it into circles so there are no sharp edges!



Very cute and chewable!!

Flamingo Time

I love flamingos. They are so bright and vibrant and funny looking. They also smell really bad but when you are sewing them, that is not an issue!

I found this fabulous organic navy flamingo print fabric last year and just fell in love with it. After the Christmas rush, I've found time to make some more cushions from it and here is one...


Also, having made a flamingo felt name banner, using the same flamingo pattern, last year, I thought I would try out a flamingo mobile too, and I am very pleased with how it looks...
