5 x 5

Since I last posted, I have taken what feels like a big step and started selling my work! Although I have an Etsy shop set up, I am currently selling through my Facebook page and taking custom orders. You can find me on Facebook by searching for 'Flossie in Stitches'.I'm so excited that people like my work; I've had lots of compliments and quite a few orders. I've just sent an order to Australia and have another to send to the US, as well as a few UK orders.
Today I made the first of five lavender bags for a group of girls who are all turning 5 during July and August. I really enjoyed making these. They're similar to some Tooth Fairy Pillows I've also been selling, but where those have a small pocket, these are patchwork with a hand embroidered panel in the centre.
I haven't done any embroidery for about 15 years, but I really enjoyed doing this and I think I'll be doing a lot more, incorporating it into the design of work I will be selling.These will be listed as a made to order item in my Etsy shop soon, but until then, if you're interested in commissioning one, please contact me via Facebook, email or by leaving a message.

Beautiful! If at any point you find yourself inundated with orders and need an employee you know where to call!
