a bit of this....a bit of that.....

 

When I'm not making kids clothing, I often find myself messing around with felt, I like it because it requires no seaming, it cuts like a dream and you can make very teeny things with it, so I started with an idea for a badge, having done a lot of craft fairs, I have found the 'pocket money' toys sure do get attention and I always like to have a few small things on the stall, I started with the fox, then decided to try a bear, a few hours after this photo was taken i ended up with 4 foxes, 4 Reindeer, 4 bears and 4 Mice...all in all a pleasant day spent sewing, tomorrow its back to the day job, whipping up 7 snowman jumpers!

thought of the day....

Me&My at Raindrops on Roses

Good afternoon from a very cold and windy St Albans! the weather has been unpredictable to say the least, but great day for drying clothes on the line! so Christmas orders and prep are in full swing... gearing up for Xmas fairs in London, and designing next years spring/summer range....
Also had a sneak peek in a local shop- Ranindrops on Roses, its a fantastic little shop that is doing a truly wonderful thing for the local community, it stocks up and coming designers and crafts people, giving them a platform for their work to be seen, AND all their profits go to a local cancer Charity too,so that's two big reasons to feel good about spending money! the shop is staffed by volunteers and its a treasure trove of awesome finds, spotted nestled amongst them were some Me&My kids tops!
here are my sneaky pics!

Christmassy prep!

 

 

Hello! we have been off radar for a while prepping for Christmas fairs and working on the Spring/Summer 13 range, not to mention stitching up what has 'felt' like a million little decorations! (excuse the pun!) these always go down well at fairs, and the rest end up on our tree! this years theme is 'woodland' but couldn't resist trying out felt baubles and mini bunting (its wound round the back of a chair, that's how teeny it is!)

 

 

 

 

Me&My Week.....

Snap shot of Me&My week, Fireworks, Craft Fairs, and splashing in puddles.

 

Yesterday saw Me&My at our regular spot at the Vintage Tea Party and Gift Fair, it was pretty quite, and pretty cold, but we traders put the world to rights, drank our body weight in tea and worked out little socks off! The Rudolf Sweater has been a big hit, people ate obviously feeling festive, as they are now limited edition due to demand! We are also now available on Etsy! at MeMyUk, so check it out in the next few days for limited run items, such as long sleeved applique robin tees and exclusive to Etsy sweaters!

Hope you all had a lovely Guy Fawkes night (if in the UK) The little man was finally persuaded that woolly hats are cool.
