it's business time...

Hello!! Sorry I've not been here for a while...been busy with other things and seemed to misplace my blogging mojo!  I have been reading lots of your blogs though...if I haven't commented on yours for a while I haven't forgotten you, and I hope to pop over for a proper catch up soon.  And if you've joined me recently, welcome and thanks for finding me!  Huge thanks to everyone who has left comments recently...I love reading them so much, sorry I haven't been great about replying.  Again I have tried to pop over to people's blogs to say thanks but if I haven't please don't take it personally, it's just that I ran out of time/got asked for a snack/had to go and wipe a nose or a bum!

Now that the craziness of the festive season has faded (all too quickly!) I am looking forward to what this year has in store...I want to build on the success of this blog, and of my Christmas craft stalls.  I have been designing a header for my Etsy shop, but the weather has not been ideal for taking good photos of stock. In the meantime I've been uploading existing photos of my fabric to my Facebook page, and people who I don't know have been contacting me to buy bits of it!  So without even really trying to I have launched myself into the world of online sales...here are photos of a few of the fabrics that I'm selling bits of....

Do please pop over to my facebook page if you are a facebooker...and I'll be back with more photos and news of other exciting developments soon!  

Lots of love and thanks for reading,

Rachel x

      Thanks Gillian! I really do think this year will be a good one. I love that one too - it's a classic Conran print sold in Habitat soon after it opened - love the simplicity of it. Hope 2013 is treating you well so far! Rachel xx

      Hello lovely - it's a good one isn't it? It's a Jonelle design called water music - it is very swirly! I think a little bit might make it into your birthday swap selection if you'd like... ;) x
