Handmade Monday - I'm stopped.

I am completely doorstopped
Hello Handmade Monday, haven't you come around fast?  This week I have been juggling working with half term - 2 children and no formal childcare.

I've agreed with Funki Blue in Aberystwyth my 'range' to complement my fabric greeting cards.  One of the products we agreed on, is doorstops.  But lets not beat about the bush, doorstops are not for posting.

So I thought if I concentrate on producing them first, then they will definitely be ready whenever I can borrow the car and go to Aberystwyth.

I have just been filling a batch, but was called back after my (very nearly) 3 year old had a major crisis - he spotted a hole in his sock! So I have a batch to fill, a batch to sew and then it all starts all over again.

  2. Great looking doorstops. They are very popular in shops in London. Still look just like Poppy Treffry - think you should be designing for her! xx

  12. Great doorstops, I'm sure they will do brilliant in the shop. A hole in a sock is no good, do you need a needle and cotton??????
