Handmade with Love

When you buy handmade, you are buying something unique and made with love. No two handmade items are the same. You are supporting a crafter and helping them pursue their dream to continue to create beautiful things ♥

Feel free to share the thought!!

 

 

 

Getting ready for the silly season

For your average crafter type, the Christmas season starts in the middle of the summer.  We create the products to have them ready for last minute shoppers! 

what's hard to predict is knowing what people will want to buy.  Its a constant challenge.  Staying true to yourself, true to your craft, and also trying to follow the fashions.

What fun!

A nice cuppa tea and a sit down

Well

I thought I'd try out this sharpie pen mug decorating thing that seems to be taking the crafting world by storm.

Off I went, very happy with myself with my great ideas in my head.

Word of warning, this one was an epic fail!!  but still fun to do.

the theory is you get a mug, and a sharpie permanent marker, draw your design, and bake it in the oven for 30 minutes at 160 degrees.

I did have fun doing it, but the results were not so great.

as in, they are not dishwasher safe.  They are also not handwash safe!

I'll buy some porcelain pens and try again soon. 

I will post pics when they're done
