New cake stands made today!

I've been busy with the drilling again this evening. Here are the latest two I've made. I love the one with the cup. The set was kindly donated to me by a friend :-)

Machine embroidery = AMAZING

I urge anyone who has not tried machine embroidery to get out there and give it a go. Kirstie Allsopp was spot on when she described it as 'the crack cocaine of the craft world'. It's so much fun and so easy!

I did an evening class at Make Do and Mend in Chelmsford http://www.makedomend.com/ run by Alex Waylett. Both Make Do and Mend and Alex were excellent. Here is what I produced that evening, lots more to do on it as Alex said 'you can always do a little more'. We cut part of it up and made it in to greetings cards. Just got to decide what to do with what is left!

Email address problem

Apologies to anyone who has tried to email me via the website on contact@amilouofessex.co.uk

I have been informed today that the email address wasn't working properly, it's now been sorted though.

Lots going on!

I've been very busy making lots of lovely things for the Vintage and Makers Market on Saturday 28th April at the Shire Hall in Chelmsford.

I will be selling handmade cake stands, cushions and jewellery all at reasonable prices. Plus some vintage finds!

The Vintage and Makers Market is free to browse so come and have a look around!

Here are some of the pieces I will be selling:
