A New Venture!

hi there...

i have decided to take the plunge
&
open a "naturally Carol" site on madeit.

i haven't quite yet
as i don't have any cards or a little logo thingo
to put up on the banner...

but

i have made a couple of cushions to sell..


&
the bonus is
that if nobody wants them
i
get to keep them!


they are quite large...
50 cm or 20 inch inserts
so
are huggable..a good armful!


why?..curiousity = intelligence

these are made out of an 'american jane' jelly roll
and some yardage and plain cottons...

the 'red' one


i loved putting these strips of fabric together...
the colours are beautiful
&
would look great in a kid's room or nursery.


if = the possibility of anything!
or
everything!

blue buttons...

i've got five more to complete.

i hope you like them
or
that someone will..lol!

i'm linking in with 'kootoyoo'...
her last linky before the holidays today!

  8. Carol check out Sharon at Plumrose Lane for your cards and banner. I presume we are talking digital art? She does lovely work and is so reasonable with her prices. She made over my blog and is working on a header for our Rhi's blog. She also designed Heartpet's business cards. She is a delight to work with, you would absolutely love her! Don't forget to tell her I suggested her for the job if you decide to contact her :]
