Seed Packet Gift Wallets

Hi all, hope you are well and enjoying some late summer sun? There's something about a sunny day that gets the creative juices flowing isn't there... We've had some gorgeous days this week and i've had fun coming up with some new products the first of which i'm looking forward to showing you today :)

Seed Packet Gift Wallets

I love receiving seeds as a present, its the little gift that keeps on giving! Its such a joy when they grow into something lovely and it really does remind you of the person who gave them to you. Its nice to see more people choosing to give seed packets as favours for their wedding guests these days and i think they work just as well on other occasions too, especially marking new beginnings or memorable occasions.

So, all of this got me thinking and i decided it would be fun to come up with some seed gift wallets, just to make the gift of a packet of seeds a bit more fancy!

I've chosen three of the fabrics from my Gardeners World collection (all available to buy from my Spoonflower shop),

and paired them with hessian and unbleached organic cotton to create a rustic looking wallet with plenty of room for a seed packet or two.

Along with room for the seeds, there is an internal brown paper panel for writing a message to the recipient. I'm also offering the option to have the wallet personalised with a name on the outside.

They are available to buy now from my Etsy shop priced £5.50, or £6.25 with a name on the front. As always, i look forward to hearing what you think!

What have you been up to this week? I'm off over to Handmade Monday to find out! See you there x

Water The Plants Sign And Butterfly Fabric Storage Basket For Handmade Monday

We've had some gorgeous weather this week and its been a pleasure to work on some summery makes in my lovely sunny new kitchen :)

I look forward, as always, to hearing your thoughts!

Remember To Water The Plants!

Its getting to that time of year when potted plants, especially tender young seedlings need regular watering so i thought it would be the perfect time to make some reminder signs...

I've used a nice linen/cotton blend fabric featuring my Watering Seedlings design (available to buy from my Spoonflower shop) for the background, and i've hand embroidered the message on hessian.

The reverse is un-dyed organic cotton and i've used interfacing in between so that the sign holds its shape.

Its completed with a twine hanging string with wooden button embellishments,

and is available now from my Etsy shop priced £9.50.

* I made a stuffed heart version of this last year which was popular but i thought perhaps a sign that hangs flat against a wall might be more practical... time will tell which my lovely customers prefer!

Butterfly Meadow Storage Basket

I've been meaning to add some storage baskets to my shops for a while now, i'm a big fan of pretty and practical makes!

I've used my favourite linen/cotton blend fabric, printed this time with my Butterfly Meadow design in pink and blue (also available from Spoonflower).

The fabric i've used for the lining and base is a gorgeous organic linen which i've fallen in love with and plan to use in lots more projects.

As i'm sure many of you know, baskets like this are super useful for storing away crafty bits and bobs.

I think this one would look fab in a little girls room too, it could be a handy place to keep anything from dolls cloths to hair bands, brushes etc. Its 20cms high and 18cms across at it widest - to give you an idea of capacity it will comfortable hold 20 average sized apples!

This basket is now available from my Etsy shop priced £18 and i have plans to make more to join it soon.

Right now though i'm off to enjoy what's left of a glorious afternoon in the garden...

i'll be back later on for a pleasant evening stroll around Handmade Harbour though... see you there! x
