Fabric Notebook Covers

With thoughts of my busiest months being just around the corner i've begun trying to stock up my shop and this week i've been working on notebook covers...

Fabric Notebook Covers

All of my covers feature original Free Spirit Designs fabrics. Pets are always a popular choice so i've included two cat designs and some pink flying pugs (you don't see them everyday! :))

Also new is a cover featuring my Garden Peas design - perfect for a garden journal.

As you can see i offer the option to have your cover personalised.

They also come complete with a recycled paper notebook,

which of course can easily be replaced once it runs out.

The other designs currently available are 'Island Escape' and Butterfly Meadow'

and i'd be happy to make up a cover featuring any of my other designs as long as i have the fabric in stock. I'm also very happy to make them in sizes other than A5, just get in touch and let me know what you're after.

The price for a cover, including notebook is £8.99, or £11.99 if you would like it personalised - they are available now from my Etsy shop.

Anyone else starting to think about stocking up for the winter months? I'm off to Handmade Monday to find out!

Notebook Covers

Hi all, i hope you've had a lovely week! I've been having fun planning some future products (more to tell you on that soon i hope) but i did also manage to get some new notebook covers listed for sale too.

Notebook Covers

They come complete with a notepad made from recycled paper, which can just be slipped out of the cover and replaced when its full up.

They all feature Free Spirit Designs fabrics and are available from my website and Etsy shop now priced £8.99.

For an extra £3.00 they can also be personalised with a hand embroidered title.

Here they are getting ready to go to a local craft fair i've been asked to take part in...

... i usually stick to online selling so i'm not organised with displays and the like - i'm just popping everything in white wicker baskets and hoping for the best!

I am looking forward to a change of scene and chance to chat with customers and fellow stall holders though, i'll let you know how i get on!

In Other News...

Another thing that has put a smile on my face this week is the arrival of my new mini business cards from moo.com. I went for a range of my designs this time, to pair with coordinating products when i post them off to customers. I think they look rather cheery all together and as always with moo, the print quality is excellent .

Its been a week of cold but sunny days in these parts which has made for some lovely dog walks, i'll leave you with my whippet, River, soaking up those welcome rays :)

I'm linking this post with two fabulous linky parties - Handmade Monday over at Lucy Blossom and Happy Friday at Planet Penny. As always i look forward to catching up with lots of lovely fellow bloggers :) x

Spring Newsletter And Mini Notebooks For Handmade Monday

Its been a week of new things... always good for keeping life interesting! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the results :)

Custom Mini Notebooks

Regular readers may remember that a little while ago i got some of my craft paper designs printed up and i've been meaning to use them to make some new products for my Print and Paper shop ever since...

This week i've finally made a start in the shape of some mini notebooks. I've hand cut the paper so they have a rustic feel to them. 

There are 36 sides of paper, and they are bound with thread through the centre fold.

They can be left blank or personalised with a hand stamped title on the front - here are some ideas...

They will be priced £2.75 and listed for sale some time soon.

There are five designs in total:

Cats In Love, Pink Notebook

Rose Garden Notebook

Nesting Birds, Blue Notebook

Butterfly Meadow Pink And Blue Notebook

Mum And Chicks Notebook

I look forward to hearing what you think in the comments! :)
