Cupcake Giveaway!!!!!

To celebrate getting the gorgeous fabrics in my shop Tamsyn G I have decided to give away a fat quarter of my favorite fabric.

As well as one of my felted brooches, made from a recycled jumper, I have needlefelted gorgeous merino wool to make the icing and vintage wool on to make the cake case then added a lovely vintage button (that looks just like a smarty) and beads.
So if you love cupcakes as much as me...(well i like to look at and eat them not so good at making the real ones!)
and you leave a comment on my blog, I will put all of the names into a hat and get Arthur to pick one out to be the winner next Sunday, the 10th of May..I hope thats not too long to wait :)

How lovely is this?

I love all this fabric that has just come in!  I've got masses of ideas of what i could make with it.

These little Russian dolls would look great just cut out and embellished onto things, they would look fab as fabric buttons, and brooches. There is also ribbon like this which i have yet to photograph.
I love the vintagey feel of these linen fabrics.  I am going to cover some boxes in this fabric and turn them into little sewing boxes

How fab would this fabric be for tables at craft and vintage fairs?  Though a little costly, it would be a great base to put things on and look amazing.

This would be lovely made into vintage style aprons or pinnys. I think I might cut up the little squares and use them as little patches, soooo cute!

This is obviously my favorite!  The cakes look good enough to eat, they would look great emebellished with little beads to look like hundreds and thousands.

More Russian dolls but a much bigger print such gorgeous colours.
I have now posted these onto my website Tamsyn-G.com, which is quite quick for me :)  Tony has taken Arthur out for the day and the shop has been fairly quiet so for once I have actually put the time to good use.

I am thinking of doing a Fat quarter giveaway tommorow.......so watch this space :)

Sneak Preview..

Ha ra the fabrics arrived! A much smaller box than I thought, Which i had a little trouble opening due to my excitement.
I was a bit worried of running the knife straight through the packaging and through the fabric..I have done that many times before!
You can't really tell from this pic, but the fabric is as fab as I remember.
I will take better photos over the next couple of days..and maybe actually put it on my website :) For now I better find some space in my shop.. and then start cutting some fat quarters.

Cup Cakes

Today me and Arthur made some cupcakes, I am not the best cook far too messy, but Arthur is too! Love the colours of these..and they disapeared really quickly when George and Harry saw them, luckily Arthur shared a few.

working mum!

We all went out to Center Parcs for the day on Wednesday with a very dear friend..well not all of us Tony was very poorly with 'man flu' so couldn't go, not only was he very sad about this but he was left to be poorly all on his own for the day. Though I think that probably has advantages! It was a great day and arthur loved having his older brothers around. Its quite rare these days to all go out.
Me and Arthur at work today, the shop went quiet in the afternoon due to the horrendous winter weather.
I managed to get a lot of brooches needle felted to look like cup cakes. These are also off to two galleries but I'm hoping to keep a few to go on Etsy and Folksy very soon.

Delicous and fat free.
