I had a conversation with a family member yesterday about re-opening my Etsy shop Fibre dreams here:

Miss Dee's Fibre Dreams shop

Jokingly they laughed and said "what's the sweetener?" , pardon, his face looked a little uncomfortable (!)  I said 95 pence like everyone else when you buy more than one. 
Ok mizo me but who else would work for less than £3.00 an hour and my lovely Christmas hangings take longer than that I assure you!

Unique and handcrafted crazy quilted Christmas tree decorations.


I love making the fabric for these....I can't explain fully why...perhaps it's because you're creating a unique fabric and a bit of a gamble on how it'll turn out!

I have also been looking into running starting(?) a Craft Market Stall.  I don't know how many craft events I have attended but it's amazing what you miss or never think about. 
Like what kind of table can I get, a DIY store are selling pasting tables for £9.99, one or two?
What will I cover it with, I do want to look professional?
You should have you banner clearly displayed, another thing I have to make I imagine banners are expensive...
Business cards, leaflets, price labelling, display options....the list goes on and to be done in a couple of months on the outside!


Oh well back to stuffing my new batch of Christmas hangings!

Thanks for reading.

Creation of a dream

I should have started this two years ago! That`s when the dream of Fibre Dreams began to take shape! So after this long journey i am ready to start on the road trip of a lifetime. I shall boldly go onto the Internet with my handmade products. I have a transporter full of the extra materials and equipment i think other fibre craft people would like to have as well... I`ve got the stuff now i need to learn how to set up a website...or set up shop on big shop site (you know the bay thingeo!). I will even learn how to post photo`s of my products. Fibre Dreams.....First frustration was not understanding why the telephone number is not recognised when i tried to .com my blog site? And why you have to have a fax if you are setting up as a business?? And where do i go to get these answers.... But a successful day on the knitted blooms broaches!! So at this point in time if you have experience setting up fibre craft websites i would be grateful for any positive comments! If you have any in...

A little this and that tactics going on!!

So little time to keep up! Isn't this a beautiful brooch...straight copying from a Royal School of Needlework book on Stump work by Kate Sinton...this adorns my winter coat and I'm constantly receiving compliments. One of the reasons I am trying to teach myself Stump work is using the technique for a book I have had in my mind for years...years! So far I have several sketches of scenes within the story....I have made a start on the cover... Its finished but not complete as I have to wait for the measurements from the completed pages...I love it from its layered fabrics to the printing ink colour and the hundreds of hand stitching...and Shisha mirrors! I have my Introduction page finished too. Here's a detail image of the capital letter... So next came a Forest scene...this was my first choice to do as I 'thought' (!) it would be an easy one to start as I knew the techniques I wanted to use...here's the sketch for the page....
