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!

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!

Polyvore for promoting your handmade wares

I decided to use Polyvore to create a set with a selection of new items in stock at CandyDoll Couture.

It was super easy and pretty fun to make! All you need to do is download the clip to polyvore button and then start adding your stuff to the site in your items, and shazzam, start creating a funky set with your own goodies on!

This is my first one, next time I think I will create a sale set :)
