Well, well, well...
What a busy bee Ive been this past week or so! My work table has fair disappeared under them all! Ive cut a HUGE batch of fairy shoes all off the suggestions board. 17 in total so there will be lots of listings before Christmas comes...
Ive been avidly listening for a delivery van to arrive with tangerine leather onboard, all day long. Did he bring it to me? Nope... Was I disappointed? Yep!!! BUT, I did manage to draft the patterns that this leather is destined for. Its for 2 pairs off the suggestions board, PRICKLE and THISBE in this new tangerine and lemondrop leather. These are being used for a childrens television programme. How exciting!!!
Im rather chuffed to have an excuse to buy a new colour! Ive often wished I had a decent rich orange. Im partial to a smidge of orange mixed up with other colours. Its such an energetic colour, full of life!

I hope to have these finished by the weekend so will post pictures soon!

Physio for 'the arm' in the morning, drop little car off for its MOT, walk the 3 miles home, then back to the sewing machine for me...

    Thank you for the lovely shoes my dear, I am so thrilled with them :D
