Time to sell

As I have just finished my level 2 city and guilds in upholstery it is time to sell my work.
If only I had the space to keep it all!
My beautiful hand decorated modern butterfly chair is my favourite piece from the year, I am looking for offers in the region of £200.
I also have my two victorian balloon back chairs, these are a matching pair traditionally upholstered, I would like £80 each or £150 for the pair.
I am lucky enough to have a lovely grandad who had made me some oak legs for my giant traditional footstool.  This would look lovely next to my butterfly chair as it is also a bright and vibrant green! I would like £50 for this piece.
I am selling to raise money to buy my own upholstery tools so I can continue working over the summer!
I am open to all reasonable offers please contact me for more information!

Cute as a Button

Button,Button is one of my favourite Stampin' Up stamp sets! I love buttons I must have millions of them! I now also have to mould to make my own! (Coming Soon!). I decided to have a play with my buttons and make something different- not just a card. I have made a pillow box- great for favours, covered a small notebook and made my own gift bows/decorations.

Best of Flowers

Best of Flowers is a new special set released as part of Stampin' Up!'s 25 years Celebration and I LOVE IT! It is not a set that I would normally buy but I was given it at a Stampin' Up! Convention in Telford. I have used it non stop since I got home, I have used it on the note book and my friends wedding card as featured below. It is £13.95 and only available in clear- contact me for more details.


This card features a small butterfly embellishment that I made using Martha Stewart air dry clay and moulds.
(soon to be coming to Stampin' Up!)

A little bit more upholstery...

I have been collecting little foot stalls from charity shops over the last few months to re-upholster and 'up-cycle'. I also contacted some fabric companies and asked for samples- a very nice company based in Ringwood replied offering me some of their old fabric books. When I collected them I was delighted as there were almost 10 large and small fabric books. I have used these to create retro foot stalls- the brightly coloured one I gave to my Nan and Grandad for Christmas and the neutral coloured one I am selling on Etsy. I have replaced the foam on both foot stalls.
