So, in the meantime I have been doing a bit more sewing and appreciating my time creating. So just a quickie today to share with you a few of the things I have been making recently.
First up is a new cushion, inspired by spring. It features a velvet rabbit that I have also used on some lovely bags for little girls.
Then I have been stocking up my Folksy shop http://folksy.com/shops/ThePeartreeBoutique
with more beanbag frogs. These always sell well and are my oldest design, dating way back to early 2002 when I was at college studying Art & Design.
I had an order for one in a particular colour recently for a little boy who had lost his Freddie Frog and was having trouble sleeping without him. I sent pictures of fabrics to him via email and he chose exactly the fabrics he wanted for his frog and I made it up for him and sent it in the post. A couple of days later, I was dashing around when I noticed my phone bleeping in the kitchen with a voicemail. Imagine how thrilled I was to hear Connor telling me how thrilled he was with his frog and thank you for making it for him! Well, that just made my week!
That's why I love making - you just can't measure the feeling you get when you create something for someone that lights up their world.
This is Freddie Frog #2
