It’s time for another birthday here at G&BT - the Tall One turns 17 today!!
That also brings us back to birthday buntings - do you remember when I mentioned the Longest Serving Birthday Bunting a few weeks ago?
Well here it is - this colourful cardboard Angry Birds birthday bunting has been in the family since the Tall One was quite a bit shorter. I believe we bought it for his 3rd birthday when we lived in the States - and it has been doing birthday duties every year since for one or more of the family birthdays.
This is its 15th year of service - I kind of feel like it needs a celebration too, and maybe a retirement party!

Anyway - he’s away to school for the day and excited about his first driving lesson later (😱) so I’m going to head back to the sewing cave and distract myself with some birthday bunting stitching!

I opened the first of 3 deliveries yesterday - some snazzy new ‘fabric’ to try!

Controversial Opinion incoming - brace yourselves…

Easter chocolates in the shops.
Right after Christmas.
I LOVE IT!

I know, I know - but Christmas wasn’t even over yet, and everyone was still eating all the cheese and drinking all the eggnog.
But honestly - why not? Why not have Easter chocolates out and available for those who love those creme eggs, or live for those tiny Kinder Mini Eggs that are less than a proper mouthful so you always HAVE to have at least 2 at a time?

I am not ashamed to admit that I have already scoffed two bags of Kinder Mini Eggs, and there is a collection of Creme Eggs and Kinder Surprise Eggs in the crochet basket (for work purposes… honest… 😉)

Are you Team No Thanks Too Early or Team Yay Give Me All The Easter Chocolate?

Shhhh! Easter is Coming….

Have we all recovered sufficiently from the overindulgences of Christmas and New Year?
Is it safe to mention the next big seasonal celebration coming up at the end of March?
The supermarkets say yes, let’s get organised for Easter! The chocolate eggs have been out for some time already (and opinions on this divide many a family and group of friends…)
I’ve been quietly working on the Easter stuff and I think it’s maybe time to let you see - chocolate egg cosies and fun buntings, which one do you want to see first?

Wednesday morning question time - and it is a bit of a ‘This or That?’ for you lovely lot.

I decided that the two main products I wanted to focus on for the next 3 months are Crochet Cushions and Birthday Buntings - but which one should I look at first?

Are you Team Crochet Cushions?
Are you looking for some brightly coloured accents for your sofa or comfy chair?
Something to bring a splash of colour to your home, but that's easily changed to suit your decor or the season?
Something that is removable AND washable?

Or are you Team Birthday Buntings?
Are you looking to move away from the flimsy plastic buntings that last for just a birthday or two, then look quite sad and end up in the bin? Cardboard ones fare a bit better sometimes (more on our Longest Serving Birthday Decoration in a few weeks!!) but really, you can’t compete with a lovely fabric bunting, can you?
Would you like to see some Birthday Bunting options - spots, stars, bold colours, pastel colours?

So let me know your thoughts - Crochet Cushions or Birthday Buntings?
What are you looking for to brighten your home right now?

I'm toying with the idea of doing a kind of ‘Colour of the Month’ type thing this year - I thought it might be a good way to showcase some of the fabrics that don’t often see the light of day, and you might spy something that would be PERFECT for a little one in the family too!

So to start things off, and in honour of Blue Monday, let’s have a look at some of the blues in the sewing room

I quite like the colour blue, and I think it matches well with lots of other colours too. (Some colours can be a bit tricky - looking at you orange!!)

Do you like blue too?

Another happy customer - thank you so much for your feedback Gillian!

It’s always lovely to get feedback from customers, especially if they love what you’ve created for them.
I am forever grateful that I am still here, still creating, still sewing and crocheting, and that there are still people in the world who love handmade things for themselves or as gifts for friends & family.

Thank you so much to all customers, new and old ~ and thank you for your wonderful feedback!

I’ve been getting these gorgeous Crochet Cushions ready for the website (shhh - more on that later!) and I was getting myself in a bit of a tangle about what info to include with the blurb.

So - I thought maybe I would ask you!
What info would you be looking for if you came across one of these Crochet Cushions on a website and you thought ‘Ooh! I like that! But does it have… / what about…?’
Let me know below so I can (a) answer any of those questions in the comments, and (b) add all that info to the website too!

I introduced myself a few weeks ago - if you're new here, Hi! Thanks for being here! Pop over to the pinned post to learn a little bit more about me.

Now let me tell you how you can buy from me…

It’s pretty easy - if you see something you like, and you want to buy it - drop me a message!
If you see something you like, but would want a different colour or maybe a slightly different design - drop me a message!
If you’ve got something in mind, and you're not sure if I can help - drop me a message!

I specialise in bespoke bunting and raw-edge applique designs for those buntings as well as other home decor items.
I also create beautiful crochet cushion covers.
And there is a whole range of fabulous seasonal things for Easter, Halloween and Christmas too.

Any questions - let me know!

02/01/2024

It’s time to get organised for 2024!

I’m still battling Round 2 of Covid unfortunately but I’ve got my notebooks ready regardless - all 4 of them!
Each one has a different purpose, and all 4 will be full of wonderful tidbits of info, scribbled ideas and crazy musings by the end of this year.

Who else is getting ready for the new year?
Or maybe you are already raring to go?
Let me know!
