struggling to let go...

They say you shouldn't name your cattle, and i think i shouldn't name my fabric...

You know, you have to think about how you name it, and sometimes that is what sucks you it! I am trying to list fabric with i have had lying around for ages, years in fact, and some of it is proving to be too difficult to let go of!

Take this for example:

I have named it Piccadily Circus, cause there is so much going on in it! I once made really badly made sacks out of this when i was pregnant and impatient. I just butchered it, and sewed it together. Then i found out it was vintage slik... whoops...

the thing is, i wasn't too sure i liked it before i named it.. now i don't want to let it go.....!

New supplies store on Etsy Ireland!

Yes!

I have set up a new store and am (very) slowly photographing and listing all those supplies i have in stock!

I called it Little Lemon Tree supplies (although i did like your suggestions very much, i was swayed by Andrew, who is a man and i probably shouldn't have listed to him in this case, since my customers will be mostly female i imagine....)

library boxes

yesterday we when down to Buckleys auctioneers in Glasthule, if any of you know it.

Its fully of everything and anything you can imagine... you can pick up some great bargains if your smart and unafraid to bid! i find the whole thing quite exciting, its like a sport or something!

We picked up these handy little boxes, the are old library card files, which will need a bit of a job done on the inside, you remember they had those slits on the base (still can't figure out what they where all about.. anyone know? ), but they will hold my basic stationary and probably random junk that always ends up on my desk..

May fair!

Time for a little fair!

This Sunday from 12- 5:30 pm, if you find yourself in town do drop in!

It is above Sheebeen Chic, which is on Georges st in Dublin, which is quite a quirky little place, if you have never been to it, you should probably check it out, it's an experience...!

Hope to see you there! click here for directions

new supplies shop

lemon birds in love print from Pictorialboom

Last week, i realised how many lovely materials i have that i have been hoarding for some time now, so long that i had forgotten that i had it!

Some of the stuff is silly to hold on to, cause i know that i will never use it, or even if i did, i would never use the amount of it that i actually have!! you should see it....

I'm considering opening a small supplies store, so that i can move about again in my studio, and i wont fell bad cause it will have gone to someone who will definitely use it.

the question now is, what shall i call the shop?

I have short listed a few names that i like:

Truffle
Pearlbay
Clover
Little lemon tree
Dandelion street

which of these is your favorite? At the minute, it could go either way!

lucy

last week, i had Lucy over for work experience with me. It was a lot of fun, and we also managed to do a little work!

Amoung other things, we made up a number of these little pencil cases, which are lovely and thin, but which hold a surprising amount of pens and pencils. Ideal for your handbag actually!

Since Lucy helped to make the pattern for these ones, i have named them "Lucy" pencil case.

Thanks Lucy!

mmmm...

i am just loving this !! i am especially loving the teeny tiny bunting! i may have to make some of this....!!
