Hello!

Hello everyone! Hope the weekend was good for you all :-)

First up I wanted to let you know I'll be having another giveaway when I hit 50 followers so almost there :-)

Right some new makes, well I say new but the first one isn't so much. I made these gorgeous little mice for a birthday present for my fabulous friend Jeanne about 6 weeks ago but obviously couldn't show you until after her birthday! So here they are ....

The pattern for these gorgeous little mice is a  Mary Jane's Tearoom one which you can find on etsy and ravelry via the website. Such gorgeous patterns and really easy to follow too so a big thank you to Susan for them :-) I'm pleased to say Jeanne loved the little mice.

Next up another fairy house, this time a toadstool......

With all that roof space it had to have a loft conversion so I added an upstairs window :-) I love making these, they are such fun to embroider and I just make it up as I go. Think I'm going to make another mushroom one this week as I've had an idea for the embroidery I want to try out.

So that's all I can show for now, it's ami swap week so I'll be posting the pics of the fabulous ami's from Steph as soon as she gets the parcel from me this week. You can check out Steph's fabulous blog HERE
I'm making Christmas cards and a Secret Santa present at the moment so they will have to wait a couple of weeks until I can show them, I promise I will as soon as I can :-)

Have a great week!

Christmas CRAFTfest this weekend, come and see us!

So this Saturday and Sunday is the Christmas CRAFTfest, I've been making things like mad and sorting out my stall ready in the hope of a good weekend of sales (fingers crossed!) 

I thought I'd show you some of the people that will be there with all sorts of gorgeous handmade goodies to tempt you to buy. This is only a small selection as there's 150 different stalls! It's a great way to do your Christmas shopping from your sofa with a cup of coffee and a box of chocolates! No crowds and the postman will bring everything to you so no bags to lug about too, you can't lose! 

I hope to see you there!

Hi I’m Jules and my shop is Daisy Made It.  I started off making patchwork quilts and cushion covers for pleasure, then I branched into bag making and realised that it was all proving to be very popular and I started getting requests from people for bespoke items.  So that is how Daisy Made It was born a couple of years ago. I make all sorts of items from quilts to home furnishings, bags to gadget cases and now teddy bears.  I love all the gorgeous new fabrics out there but I also love upcycling from old fabrics/items.  I have my own purpose built studio where I create all my items in a pet and smoke free environment.
