Christmas birds included in Spoonflower competition....much excitement!

Firstly I should say that I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and are still relaxing with friends and family, we did, very relaxing, lots of lovely presents and lovely food....

I wasn't intending to post again until 2009 but I got an exciting e-mail last night from the people at Spoonflower to let me know that my Christmas birds fabric is one of the 4 fabrics in their weekly design competition.

I'm sure its a bit late for people to be thinking about Christmas fabrics but maybe some people are thinking ahead to crafting in 2009? Anyway I would be really grateful if you could take the time to check out the competition here Spoonflower Competition and maybe add a little vote for my birds:)

Its very exciting for my fabric to be selected amongst so many amazing spoonflower designs, a very good Christmas present.

Cool Competition

My partner Mark has his own photography business and a great online shop where you can buy a huge range of prints of our native Shetland, UK and beyond. He's just launched a competition where you can win a 16 x 20 inch mounted print of any photo that appears on his website. I think its a great idea so go on have a look at his website here and enter the competition here - you might win a lovely picture for your wall:)

Also I completed my mobile for the Elsie Marley Mobile swap last week, I decided to make my mobile from card, a change from fabric and it was good fun experimenting, in the end I went for quite a simple design, here are some pictures ( not very good quality are they).

I really hope it gets to its recipient in one piece, I wrapped it up in a box with lots of bubble wrap but I'm still a bit worried!

I've just been looking at the pics everybody taking part has uploaded of their mobile creations to the Mobile Swap Flickr Group, well worth a look they are all great and really different. Its been a fun swap to be part of and I can't wait till my mobile arrives.
