Happy New Year!

Happy 2014! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. We had a great time celebrating with our family and had a nice break from working. Storeyshop is now back open though! Lots of plans for this year. I'm half excited and half scared about managing Valentine's Day orders with Ted around for the first time. Wish me luck (well, long naps)!

Now that we are in to the new year, I can add the photographs of the wedding stationery I made for a happy couple who tied the knot on New Years Eve. Huge congratulations to Tor & Glyn and all the very best for your future together! Lovely working with you on these...

Storeyshop Hand-Cut Table Numbers

Since really enjoying making the stationery and other accessories for my wedding in April, I have had lots of other paper cut wedding ideas up my sleeve for Storeyshop. Here are the first examples of table number cards. I cut these by hand yesterday in a range of styles and colours. They can be completely customised with a customer's choice of typeface, colour(s) and imagery so can tie in with any wedding theme. They can have paper inlays or be left as simple folded cards. The wedding menu or any other information could be included inside on a paper inlay. Listings will be able in my shops soon. Yay!






















The cards can also be ordered for special events and parties. Or maybe used as birthday cards with the recipients age on. It doesn't have to be a special 21st or 40th, have any age you like. Or they could be nice anniversary cards to celebrate the number of years you and your beloved have been together. I love a bit of romance...

I Love Shopping!

I've been finding new pretties on Etsy and managed to get another treasury to show some off! I realised when I looked at my favourites that I must have a thing for red and yellow...



It's the Easter holiday weekend. Bank holidays just aren't the same when you work for yourself though. I actually think Dave and I might work and save our 'bank holidays' for my birthday or when we go down south at the end of May. It will hopefully be nicer weather and better traffic! I might have a sorting out my work area and craft supplies day tomorrow as an easy Friday. I need to get some inspirational things on the walls of the office as it's all very beige. I have been waiting until we decorate but that may be some time judging by our DIY speed and budget at the moment.

I'm hungry so must go and get some dinner on. I'll leave you with some of my recent personalised cards.

Storeyshop Hand-Cut Wedding Invites

Woo hoo! I'm finished. If you follow my blog, you'll know I love making wedding invites and here's my latest completed order in white and silver. I'm very pleased with them. Every single rose is a tiny bit different too, just like in real life. I hope they go down well with the customers! Silver and gold lining papers are now available for all Storeyshop cards and also metallic envelopes at no extra cost.










Happy Tuesday! Post office now to post these off and then more monkey making and a run if I can muster up the energy. Dave and I have signed up to swim the Great North Swim again this year so we need to start getting fit again (well I do). I have to beat my time from last year. Not that I could really go any slower!

This time my mile long freezing cold open water swim is going to be raising money for Evelina Children's Hospital which is part of St Guy's and St Thomas' in London. My little nephew, Harvey, had heart surgery there last summer and I still can't believe how well he and the whole family were treated and the amazing care he got. I can still picture him when he was all wobbly a few days after his op but carefully toddling around in the little Early Learning Centre car. It would be great to give something back to help other little children who have to go there, maybe to buy some more toys for the young patients and their brothers and sisters to play with.

More details about that soon!

The latest Storeyshop wedding invite order is complete and has been posted off! I'm really pleased with them. The ribbon colour doesn't look as nice in the photos but it's a rich, dark aubergine...

Weddings and Babies

The next issue of the magazine is in production so I am back at the computer looking at my lovely new flat screen monitor which arrived yesterday. It looks very fancy!

Apart from designing, I am working on a lovely commission at the moment to make 16 cards for a customer's wedding guests. Each card has the recipient's name(s) included and some of them are nicknames which makes them even more fun and personal. I am about a third of the way through the order so I'll post some photos of the finished collection soon!

The wedding and new baby season is in full swing it seems and it has been a busy time for Personalised cards. Here are a few of the latest Storeyshop requests...










Well I better get back to my fashion layout. I can't believe it's friday again already. DIY and card cutting this weekend I think and hopefully the odd nice meal out. We have a new restaurant recommendation from Postmaster John to try!
