Spring has Sprung!
Well its still chilly outside but the sun is shining and my tubs and pots around the garden are growing!
I have been watching on TV The Delicious Miss Dahl (Sophie Dahls new cooking programme) which is truly wonderful. Her new book will definately be on my reading list. It has also inspired me to put bunting onto the website. It is amazing how some shabby chic bunting can make a dreary corner a cheery corner.
I have also decided to have a go at knitting some cushion covers from ribbons and silks. Depending on how they come along these too may make an appearance on the site soon.
My great nephew Aaron will be joining us for Sunday Lunch and of course the morning will start with an Easter Egg Hunt! The children love it and I am sure they will all help Aaron along as he is only 19 months old! Later today I shall endeavour to make and embroider a material bucket suitably adorned with a Easter theme.
Whatever you are doing this Easter Weekend, Have a Happy Peaceful one, and relax and enjoy some quality time with your family!

Well I haven;t posted for a while as it has been very busy. I really do enjoy having my time at the Friday market, it is great to be able to meet like minded people and to have time to speak to my customers. The downside is it is very cold at 7am when you are trying to put up your stall!
Working from home can be very solitary, however I like the fact that I have my lovely room to work from and it truly is 'my space' messy or tidy, I love it!
I hope you all had a great Mothers Day, I did! Very spoilt and had a lovely weekend with my family and we also celbrated Grandpa's Birthday!
I will be listing some new handmade jewellery and brooches, embroided of course! Not a pandora bead in site! I promise!
We managed to spend two hours gardening as a family on Sunday and it is great to see the first signs of Spring with the bulbs peeking through. I am re-potting all of my tubs - just doing two or three a day and it is certainly making the view from my window a lot more pretty!
Well have a great weekend. Best Wishes Ellie

Phew! That was sooooooooooooo Busy
Well it has been ages since I last posted, this was a combination of time of year, Christmas, website being very very busy and re-opening my Ebay shop.
We also had a few family dramas and lots of trips to the hospital as Mark my husband was very unwell. Sadly after five years all clear, his cancer has returned and we have the added complication that he also has sarcoid. He will start his cancer treatment in January and then chemo.
So in the New Year myself and a group of friends will be launching a just giving site to raise funds for our local hospital's oncology unit. More details of this will follow. We are all very strong and positive, we have fought cancer before and we will do it again.
Now onto more positive things, well lots will be happening, Never Forget is expanding and a whole new range of products are going to be launched towards the end of January.
Both my Ebay shop and the website will have special offers with all monies rasied going direct to the appeal.
I hope you have all managed to have quality time with friends and loved ones and have a great Christmas time and would like to to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Healthy and Happy New Year.

Website going from strength to strength
Well although its not finished, I wonder will it ever be 'finished'? I am very pleased with the website and how it is going and looking. I am trying to add at least five things a day, which is s lot harder than I thought from a time perspective.
My old site was all bells and whistles and looking back now, perhaps a bit too complicated! This one is a lot easier to use, list and change and looking year on year I am very pleased with the results.
It is worth mentioning at this point that I would like to Thank Trudy from Firepages for all of her help and for putting up with the constant tweaking that she had to endeavour.
I only wish I had done it earlier!
I hope at this busy time of year, we all still make time to spend with our friends and family!
Kind Regards

New website - New Logo
Well I think I have finally got the look of my new logo all sorted out. So will be off tomorrow back to the designers to hopefully approve the final proof. This can then be transferred to the new web team and new web-site will be well under way.
Its all very exciting and I am looking forward to being able to showcase some of the new designs which I am very very excited about.
It is also a great time for me to raid my stash and use up things that perhaps I had forgotten about. I seem to also now have a great fascination with buttons! My button box is getting very overflowing!
Can;t wait for the next few weeks and hopefully get some inspiration from my forth coming holiday. I have also been looking back on the work of Charles Rennie MacKintosh who constantly inspires me. Wow his designs are classic and timeless and so very very fabulous!
Happy Sewing everyone!
