A couple of rays of sunshine finally managed to peek through the clouds today after what seems like an eternity of rainy gloom so i rushed outside to capture some nice bright photos of my recent makes.
I had hoped to get them all listed on the various online outlets i'm selling through too, but... the dog went AWOL this afternoon so spent three hours looking for him instead!
Here he is 'blending' with the landscape a couple of weeks ago - now you know why it was so hard to find him! (that and the fact that he can cover a field in about three seconds...!)
You may recall that i began experimenting with coasters a couple of weeks ago with intentions of progressing onto placemats. Well, here is a set of my finished sheep coasters:

| Colourful Sheep Coasters Set of Four |
which i think are pretty cute! Here's one with another of my recent listings - i told you i had plans for those mugs!

| Coffee Lover Mug Large |
And here are my first set of placemats:

| Heart Placemats Set of Two |
I'm pleased with these too so all's well that ends well! :)
All that remains now is for me to hand you over to the capable hands of Wendy over at 1st Unique Gifts - happy Handmade Monday!
p.s. Next week i expect i will be announcing the winner of The Circle of Love Giveaway - there is still time to enter! (thank you very much to all those that have entered already!) x
Your coasters and place mats are A1. Do see what you mean about your dog blending into the background!!!!. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeletep.s.It was a good job that I did sew the ribbons on for the rings. No problewm with the page boy but when the vicar untied them and placed them on her order of service she prompptly dropped them onto the floor!!! They were found five mins later under the hem of her gown. Wasn't anticipating that senario
ha ha! oh my goodness! how embarrassing for the Vicar!! it just goes to show you can't possibly provide for every possible scenario at a wedding - or life in general i suppose!
DeleteThank you for your compliments on my makes :) and i'm glad they found the rings in the end! x
The place mats looks really good. You would be able to personalise for children too. (encourage the picky eaters maybe if they have a nice mat to put their plate on!) The sheep coasters are really cute too. Michx
ReplyDeleteoooh good idea about personalisation! thanks for that! :)
Deletei had been planning to do some personalised placemats soon but it hadn't occurred to me that i could personalise these ones! x
Great placemats and coasters, nice and cheerful. Your doggie really does blend in with the landscape, perhaps he's pretending to be a chameleon!!
ReplyDeletei know! he's pretty stealthy too - you never see him coming! :)
Deletei'm glad you like my makes :)
