Well, on Saturday I did my first Reetsweet at the Leeds Corn Exchange. It was a great day and I met some very lovely people there. I was alongside some very talented artists and designer/makers, and I have my eye on many a gorgeous treat.
I collected my really lovely screenprinted sign from Helen Memo on Friday ready for the fair, and I'm soooooo delighted with it. Thanks Helen!
This week, I'll be making for the Bowery and will also be shipping my first International order to the USA. I'm also working on some new designs so will be back soon with a few pics of work in progress.
Bye for now!
The temperature has definitely taken a dip with all the lovely snow so I thought I'd make a little something to keep your phones cosy! These will be on sale at Reetsweet a week today (11th Feb) at Leeds Corn Exchange, then in a couple of weeks time on Folksy. My online shop will hopefully be up and running by then. I've got a very lovely lady named Helen Entwistle from Memo (www.hellomemo.com), a freelance illustrator and screen printer, designing my logo and shop banner, so I can't wait to reveal it!
I've spent many an hour this week in my little sewing room creating for the Valentines Fair. I'm obsessed with birds and bird prints at the moment, so there is definitely a feathered feel to my newest designs. Here's a sneak peak of my new bird purses
Last week I finally paid a visit to the Fent shop in Skipton with my good pal and fellow fabric addict. It's amazing! I was in Liberty fabric heaven! Lots of fat quarters to be snapped up there. One of my all time favourite Liberty fabrics is Strawberry Thief

Funnily enough, you may spot a bird or two in this fabric!
My lovely friend also gave me a very lovely book for my birthday, The Liberty Book of Home Sewing. It's full of gorgeous Liberty Prints and has given me lots of inspiration for new makes. Thanks Jen!
Hope to see you at Leeds Corn Exchange on the 11th Feb!
