Deco cases and mirrors

Hey!

Once again, I apologise for the total lack of updates, I have been pretty busy with stuff going on in my life at the moment.

I did however manage to finally get the deco phone cases and mirrors finished, and photographed tonight, yay!

These are currently on sale on the CandyDoll Couture facebook fan page. If they take off I will be making more and putting a section up on the CandyDoll website shop for these! :)

Rosette brooches and more!

Hey everyone,

Sorry for yet more lack of posts, I haven't been very well recently so have took time out from crafting to get better.

I finally got my little purses finished (yay!), and made some gorgeous little Rosette brooches which are available in the shop. I will be making more of the purses, and playing around with new designs too. Ordered some gorgeous fabric off ebay and some fab fabric store I stumbled across too, it's just sitting there waiting to be made into something cute!

I also ordered some leather bracelets which I will hopefully recieve this week coming, and am planning on funking them up with some handmade charms and sourced charms too, so keep an eye out for them!

Since I haven't been very well my mum got me a really cute "How to to Sew" boxset of books last week to cheer me up. They are so cool, with some really fun little how-to projects and nifty little tips on everything from Applique to Sashiko.

I haven't gotten around to doing any of these projects but I will make this my mission for this week! (Been busy taking a zillion pictures of products and reorganising my stock so it's nice and organised haha!)

I'll try and update a bite more often, but you know what I'm like :)

Toodles for now!

No motivation

I'm sure you are all aware that there has been a lack of posting here lately. Sorry! I've been working alot, being ill (as usual!) and just had a pretty crap lack of imagination recently. I have been finding it hard to find inspiration to make new things, or finish things off and actually upload them. I'm not sure why.

I went to visit my friend today who I havent seen in a while. It was great to catch up and see her and her moggies :) She showed me some sketchbooks she has been working on, which made me realise I dont have to work on things that "fit" with CDC, I can look elsewhere for ideas and branch out into new things.

I have some great ideas now for a new area of CandyDoll Couture, which I will start working on but it wont be available for a while yet. I'll *try* and keep you posted, if I remember to update the blog!

I also finally figured out how to create a mosaic out of flickr images, so I put together a cool mosaic of my super cute craft room. I really wish I could always keep it that tidy though, it's covered with fabric, buttons and god knows what else at the moment!

Quick post-New products

Check out the site, some new necklaces, hairclips and other cute things!!!

Back, finally!

Yes, I am finally back online, well I have been for a few weeks, but have been busy updating the site and creating a new background for it etc.

I decided to put my photoshop skills to the test and created some yummy sweets which are now the background of the shop website!

I also have finally uploaded some hairclips to that section of the site, after numerous failed attempts due to Mr Site being crappy as usual!

There is also a cute Locket for sale on the site, with more to come in the next few weeks <3

Enjoy!

Waaaaaaaaaaa, its been too long!

Eww, and I just put my hand in a puddle of meg spit, nice. (she dribbles constantly, silly kitty!)

Right so, its been a while. Ive been working alot, but finally my hours have gone down abit so I have had some crafty me time! ^__^

I spruced up the shop website...after clicking on every damn option on admin on Mr Site. It looks snazzy now though!! Here's a screenshot:-

Just incase you dont know, its http://www.candydollcouture.com/ ;)

I decided to make some new earrings for the shop, which I will unveil to the world in a few days :D All I can say is they are pretty darn cute!!

Also, I have signed up to two craft fairs, one of which is the Craft Mafia fair at the Cluny, Newcastle Sun 16th August!!! (Poster created by a fellow craft mafian :D)

Clearer details can be found at http://www.newcastlecraftmafia.com/

Also, incase you havent seen these, I thought I would share. Momiji Doll Gashapons! ^___^ I popped into the Travelling Man the other week and low and behold they have a Gashapon machine...*squeals*!!! You can also buy them from Chicki if you dont have a shop near you that sells them. They had loads of different kinds, so I got two haha. I got a winner ticket (yes, you can also win Momiji goodies from them!) in my first, which won me some really cute Momiji greetings cards, and inside the ball I got super cute stickers and a little tote bag with a doll print on. The second gashapon I bought came with cute stickers and 2 seriously cute key covers! I really should have taken a pic of these. Here is a pic of some other goodies you can get inside from chicki....

I think Im going to scoot now, need to order loads of fimo to get cracking for the craft fair, I managed to use up ALL of my white, and glitter white, doh! xoxo

Soo unbelievably tired

Work. That seems to be all I do these days. Im so tired from it. I worked out I did 42 hours last week, akk. Im hoping I will have more time to get the shop going again soon, although I say that alot!

I actually had a day off yesterday though, so we went to see Drag me to hell. My god, it was a weird film! It was funny and scary haha. The old woman was freaky! I also treated myself to some cute hairclips..they are pink polkdot hearts yay!

Ive been invited to Pride in August, reeeally hope I can get the time off to go! Chazzalaroo is back so we met up the other night, she had some mad stories to tell from Peru hehe.

Im going to sign off now, but before I go, please visit my shop, for a limited period if you buy ANY necklace you will get a surprise free gift!!!

Make sure you add it to your cart! xoxo

No time

Gawd, Ive had no time to do anything for the shop lately! Ive been working like 40 hours a week and when I get home Im so tired I just want to get into bed. Its crappy, but I need the money.

The cats are doing fine, we actually have 3 now, I cant even remember if I mentioned we were going to adopt a cat. Hes cute, hes called Murphy and hes huge and hes 4 :D He stinks sometimes. And he had worms, but apart from that hes cool hehe.

I have my work room set up, just havent had the time to actually do anything. Im hoping Ill get some stuff sorted though next week as I have 2 whole days off, OMG! Hahaha.

Also, just to let everyone know, Im offering a free, yes freeee, surprise gift with every necklace order on www.candydollcouture.com so grab them while you can!!!

xoxo
