Im a busy bee

 
 
 
 
This week I have mostly been sewing, sewing and more sewing! not to mention running around London with bags of stock, dropping them off to different stockists, its all very exciting and lovely to see that hard work does pay off, and all the late nights, sore fingers and neglected house work are worth it when your stock actually sells out! amazingly at 7 months pregnant I feel full of energy and ideas, and can believe in a few months Il have a tiny person to look after and all this will have to take a break or be handed over to a very clever friend of mine to run for a while!
what do you think of the new designs? everyone loves elephants! I'm thinking I will attempt to make a whale soft toy next, but for now its back to sewing these little ellies up for my Etsy shop!

an obsession with Elephants....

 
Now I'm a fabric hoarder, I tend to stick to the same key colours and styles in my designs, but like a magpie I will buy anything that catches my eye, and I had this beautiful brushed suede sitting on my shelf for nearly a year, there is only about half a metre of this and I couldn't bring myself to chop it up, then one night when my mind was racing with ideas I decided to try and make a suede Ellie and I love it! (its the cream one in the photo) Suede is a joy to work with, it is strong and doesn't fray, and it feels amazing! so I now have VERY limited stock of cream suede luxe Ellies. Wish I could keep them all, but that just wouldn't be fair!
 

These beauties will be available at my Etsy Shop shortly....
