Happy New Year

So 2015 has officially arrived and I've lots of new ideas. 

Christmas fairs went well - robins sold out at all 4, just couldn't get enough done so will start them earlier this year. Snowman also sold well and only one Christmas bunting left. 

Stocked up on material and bunting items, so look out for wedding, birthday, girls, boys and other selections, coming this way. 

Christmas bauble made for a present went down well, so new range will be out later this year. Dogs and hopefully other animals, all made from clay.

I'll still be making gifts from my photo's, as well as tote bags and hopefully be bringing in further animals made similar to my snowmen - asked for owls, so that'll probably be the first design I work on. 

Don't forget my items are available through esty

So, this morning was a bit of a brain stormer and at 8 am it was way to early. 

I've been asked if it was possible to do a limited edition cup, for the local model railway club exhibition.

Easy enough if the cup is unusable - but that's just not my style. 

The photograph wouldn't be a problem - I've plenty of trains to choose from, but the actually printing is the big problem. Figure it'll be around £500 to get the equipment and set up. Not sure if the fiance's will allow it yet. 

Anyway I'll throw out the question. 

Using photos - wildlife/nature/buses/trains as the main ones, would there be any interest in personalised cups?

Please leave any comments below.

Thanks

To be honest it'll probably be one of them things, that will just have to wait for a bit.

Another photo shoot done of a few more items.

Note book with great tit cross stitch. Blank notebook, with 32 pages in a plastic cover.

Having been asked if I do any badger items, here's my first. 

For all you poppy lovers out there, the ideal keyring.

Having been asked for a particular bus keyring, which has gone to my brother, here's a 6-spot Burnett moth. Photos are my own, this was taken at Saltwells nature reserve.

Another from Saltwells nature reserve. A little chiffchaff.

I'm still trying to short out bank account, so any interest please contact me.

I have a large select of photos, (including nature and buses), that will be re-sized for key rings and hopefully paperweights. If anyone is interested in a particular photo, let me know. If I have one, I'll do it.
