Addicted to the badge machine
I have just come back from a Ladies Night at the village school, organised (for the first year) by a friend of mine.
As well as sales, it was a good opportunity for more villagers to see what I do and to tell the ones that missed my Christmas night what a fab night it was and to get them to remember it for next year. In hindsight it would have been better for me to have put a photograph of me on the flyer with a big arrow pointing to it! It was a good night, which was just as well seeing as I missed Gordon Ramsey's kitchen nightmare - the only programme I actually sit and watch.
Before I packed for the evening, I finished off a badge order for Sarah to take to the school fair that she is doing this weekend. A combination of boys and girls badges in paper and fabric. Only a sneak peek - hope you're pleased Sarah.
Two market stall aprons which were commissioned by the ladies that were at my Christmas night. After seeing me wear mine with such panache and style, they wanted one too. No Pete Beale style aprons for me! So if you are interested in having one made, please drop me a line.
I also got a bit carried away with the badge machine (again) and ended making up more badges. This time with vintage books. I sold some tonight at the Ladies Night and have a few left.
I am thinking of putting a few up for sale tomorrow. Would anyone be interested?



Thank you, thank you, thank you !!! I can't wait to get the badges - from the sneaky peek they look lovely. Sarah x

Not only do I think your badges are adorable, but the *packaging* card with the explanation is brilliant! So professional!
I will now crawl back under my unprofessional craft rock and pull my scraps in over me!

I'm not surprised you're addicted to the badge machine - the results are stunning (as, I might add, is your other stuff).
Take care :-) x

hi Samantha,
You have been busy and all your stuff looks great! Could I order a Pete Beale? Could I send you the fabric from my stash? Have you got enough time?
It's crazy here too . . .

Each time I amaze myself more and more with your work.
Very well done.
