A bleated happy 2014!!

Mini book press - homemade

Despite the fact that this is my first post this year, I have been doing quite a bit of crafting; mainly mini notebook necklaces! I got my DIY on and made a mini book press out of old shelves (pictured above), which has really helped make the process a bit easier.

The mini journals are now being stocked in ‘Made In Northamptonshire’, a local shop for local makers, I’ve had orders for  via friends, friends of friends and through work, and have just restocked on supplies so I can make more.

 

All in all, a good start to the year!

Craft fair aftermath

It’s official- mini notebook necklaces are a hit! They very nearly sold out at last Sunday’s Christmas craft fair at Delapre abbey. Here they are all tucked up waiting for their new owners:
Mini notebook necklaces for sale!

We had a new frame made for this event to hang the origami mobiles on, which also went down a treat:

The event itself was fantastic- the volunteers did an amazing job, the place looked great and it was so busy. We even got a visit from Santa!

All in all a brilliant day- really hope we get asked back again next year.

Craft Notebooks Paper

Mini notebook – for necklace/key ring etc.

Made some new mini notebooks this weekend. The insides are sketchbook paper, while the covers are upcycled from a pair of old boots. They’re tied with a thin ribbon and have a metal loop attached so they can be fastened to a necklace or key ring etc.
