Its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

Hello

Lots of smiles after a lovely weekend visiting the Christmas markets, eating lots of pizza and cozying on the sofa with my lovely boyfriend!

I am feeling very Christmasy now!

I need to start watching Christmas films! 

I am having fun making Christmas cards!

Glitter gets everywhere he he!

Have a good {cold} day!

Hoop-laaaaa

                                           
Hello

I have been having fun with hoops!  

Embroidery hoops that is! 

My very lovely friend is soon going to receive these little pressi's for her birthday! 

Happy belated birthday Kat!  

I love how the little camera turned out! 

Its so simple but looks so lovely!

And if you have checked out my 

Etsy-shop 

lately, you will see that my items are 

photographed within a hoop 

which I think frames them 

really nicely!

Hopefully you can tell that this is a robot! 

Its my first attempt!  

Was really hard as I wanted her to look cute he he.

Hope Kat likes her!

I am not feeling very well today :-(

Good excuse to wear my big penguin jumper 

and get stuck into making christmas cards!

33 Days till christmas! 

Totes excite he he!

This evening he took to the town of Darwen with a 

giant pot of tea

biscuits! 

Amazing!

Camera in the car

Hello

I have been dragged in by work yet again! 

It is so hard to keep on top of my crafts after a long day at work, but I will keep on going.  

He he I was experimenting with the camera in the car, 

a little personal space project I guess!?!?! 

If I had thought about it 10minutes before, the camera would have caught us singing out heart out to the radio he he! 

Could be a fun little project? Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Goodbye

Birthday wishes

Nighty night 
Lots of love

Creating an identity using a rubber stamp

Hello

Lying there at night with my head on the pillow, ideas are just flying around my head!  It seems every single minute of the day I just can't stop being arty! I write little notes down wherever I am to make sure I don't forget my little crafty ideas!

I wouldn't have it any other way though!

I read a school report from my year one class the other day and found this quote "Tania is always found in a corner drawing something"!  These days are not really any different!  When I am not at my full-time job, I spend most of my free time surrounded by felt, ribbons and embellishments and can be there for hours!  I love making my greeting cards and felt brooches.

Since setting up my Etsy shop, I haven't had much knowledge of marketing etc and have been struggling to create a brand image for myself.  This is where the www.stampsdirect.co.uk company comes in! 

Stamp Direct specialise in rubber stamps for offices and the workplace.  They are also able to create a stamp with any design for you!  This is how my logo came to life!!

In keeping with the handmade theme I had struggled to think of a way of getting my logo onto the back of my handmade cards and tags, for the felt crafts.  By being able to use the rubber stamp, I am able to steer completely away from a computer and printer and keep the textured, rustic feeling to my homemade products. 

The stamp really brings my logo to life and to see my art made into a stamp formation makes it feel that much more professional!  Even my delivery notes can be stamped with ease now!

So if you want to put your own stamp on something, get your own design put on a rubber stamp!

Tania xXx
