new snaps!

So I finally got around to buying a new camera, after literally looking in every single cupboard, draw, nook and cranny for my charger, I realised my old camera wasn't actually that good, so off I went and bought some new tech....

well with all bright new shiny things I had to try it out as soon as I got home! here are a few snaps...

Happy Easter

Well, I have just got home from THE coldest fair I have ever done!, now I have done Christmas fairs outside, I have done fairs in the rain before, but today I have never ever been so cold in my life! despite the sun trying to shine, it was a tough day, however, lots of lovely comments, some sales and great feedback means it was worth it.... now time to photograph the new accessories range and put it up on Etsy.....plus some very exciting news to come...

HAPPY EASTER Everyone.

 

 

 

 

what a random day.....

well well, its been a rather strange day! I have been steadily prepping for the Easter weekend craft fair after taking a month off, and thinking I must get back into things, then all of a sudden I have orders coming in from all over the place, and I'm now as busy as I would hope to be...looking forward to Sunday, trading at Inn on the Park in St Albans, and keeping my fingers crossed that the weather is kind! here is a preview of some new ranges, I promise there WILL be better photos, but I really get excited about new products and have to share them! feedback as always is most welcome.

 

 

Me&My week....

its been a busy week......

I'm going to be trading over Easter weekend at Inn on the park in St Albans, and iv been whipping up these soft toy bunnies like there is no tomorrow, I started with idea Id make just 3, and they have rapidly become my new obsession, it uses up pretty fabric and they are easy to make, and now I have a whole warren of rabbits! I also took my son shopping for new clothes, but he is his own fashionista and insisted all he needed where some sunnnies and a straw hat! (its currently SNOWING!) and of cause, last weekend was St Patricks day, so he had to Honor his roots and rock the Irish shirt

Spring has sprung at Me&My

So, Me&My will be at a few craft fairs in the next few months,

So have been working away on a few accessories designs...all are made of felt, hand stitched and will end up as hair clips or brooches, theres also a bunny design in the works too.....

A set of 2 clips will be £3.50 and will be available from my Etsy shop over the weekend.

next on the to-do-list, T-shirts and baby grows! 

 

 

New Stuff

its a bit late, but HAPPY 2013, its been a busy first 9 days to the new year, with family visits, attending a baby shower, getting the little man ready for nursery,replenishing stock, and seeing the new lines emerge from under a stack of fabric! in the next few days, all 2012 stock will be put on to the Etsy shop MeMyUk, and will be 20% off, making way for the new collection. 12 unique designs for girls and boys! here is a sneak peek of whats being stitched up at the moment......

2013

its been an eventful few months at Me&My, a year ago we didn't even exist! and now plans are being made, designs created and a whole new year to plan for, its been at times very hard to stay motivated, the UK is in a recession, no one has any money, and starting a business seemed like the most ridiculous idea to even attempt, yet, it keeps moving forward, more orders keep being taken, more stockists added and more joy given in all the little processes and challenges that make up running a business. Exciting times ahead. branching out from just T-shirts and accessories into skirts, trousers and fabric lines, packages of Me&My clothing have been sent to as far as China, the US and Germany, and each and every customer has been valued and appreciated. so see you all in 2013! and THANKYOU for all the amazing support.

Me&My home made Xmas

Well, there is just a WEEK till the big day and I feel like I have been prepping for Xmas for months! I still have lots of last minute makes to be getting on with, so Me&My is on a little festive break, spring /summer '13 designs are all done, and exciting things in the pipe line with a few retailers, so for now its time to sit back and marvel at how this time last year Me&My wasn't even an idea let alone a real business! hurrey for 2012, roll on 2013!

 

Me&My Vintage tea party and gift fair!

 

 

So,its been an eventful few days,

Saturday saw Me&My at the Vintage Tea Party & Gift Fair, its become something of a regular craft fair for us, its the very first fair we launched at and over the past few month its provided us with a great platform for showcasing our newest designs, but alas, last Saturday was (probably) our last one, its been informative, fun and we have made great friends, but in the new year Me&My will be sold via retailers and our online shop only.

but here are a few pics from our final fair.....x 

 

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!

 

sneak preview of 2013 designs.....(excuse poor photo quality, my camera has died on me)what do you think?

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!

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.

Retail and up and coming stuff!

 

 

Good Evening, Iv not been here for a while, as I have been crazy busy, October is a manic month, loads of birthdays (including my son) and crafting like crazy for Christmas Craft Fairs, So I just dropped in to show you what I have been up to....

aside from opening a folksy shop  http://folksy.com/shops/MeMy,  I have also been working on orders for retailers, the first of which is Raindrops on Roses, www.facebook.com/raindropsonrosesstalbans

This lovely little shop really is unique, it is run by a cancer charity and give a platform for up and coming designers and crafts people to showcase their work, with 100% of the profit going to local cancer charities, so not only am I delighted to have myself stocked in my local City, but also that the money is going to such a worthy cause! below is the stock I have been working on for them, now all I can do is hope the people of St Albans like it!

I will be wandering around the baby trade show this week as I'm considering actually trading there next year, and then after that you can find me at my usual and friendliest craft fair https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vintage-Tea-Party-and-Gift-Fair-first-Saturday-of-every-month/188067171224344
