Finally an update!

2011-10-30T11:59:00.000-07:00

I haven't a clue where this year has disappeared to?!?
I've been so, so busy I haven't even updated this thing since May.
Since May I've graduated (eek!), I some how managed to get sucked back into the depths of my workplace, and I've even found the time to develop some new products to showcase at my regular craft fairs.
Also new is my mini print studio, so exited by this!
This means that the foxy cushions will no longer be out of stock, yay!

A selection of Skulls & Cross-Stitches products are now available for purchase at Eati Boutiquie, 231 Berkeley St, Glasgow and at The Cat's Miaou, 36 Elm Row, Edinburgh.

Some of my products...

2011-03-06T15:32:00.000-08:00

Here we have some little card holder wallets, with popper closures, just the right size for bank cards, business cards, etc.
I've also got a selection of clip frame coin purses, all are made with vintage-look fabrics and co-ordinating lining, and are decorated with ribbons & bows or fabric & button applique.
Either style of purse can be made to order (along with most of my products). If you have something in mind drop me a line at skulls-cross-stitches@hotmail.co.uk or you can reach me on Twitter @SkullsXStitches.

Popping my blogging cherry...

2011-03-06T15:13:00.000-08:00

So i find myself having to contemplate what to do when I inevitably have to face the big, bad world - post degree. With only a few weeks to go, it's definitely looming in my mind. I've been working on my handmade accessory-homeware-gift collection for nearly 6 months now, so I figured I'd better get to work on building a brand. Enter; the new blog, a new e-mail account and a business based Twitter, yay me!! It's also time to start booking up some craft fairs (some dates to follow soon). I'm still gonna keep my fingers crossed for a lottery win so that I can open that dream shop, but until then I'm gonna get my social networking hat on and introduce Skulls & Cross-Stitches to all of you out there who love a bit of crafty magic, buy handmade and support indie makers.
