Lavender Bags

I finished these tiny Lavender Bags last night. The fabric came from an Ikea dolly's blanket that my big sister sent me. She has asked me to make a new blanket for Evie's play cot as she was a bit uninspired by the one from Ikea. So I've started to make Evie a blanket to match her bunting and thought the Ikea fabric could have a new lease of life and be recycled into something I can sell.

Buy my stuff ont'internet

I've got a shop on Folksy.
It's growing slowly and steadily.
I find it difficult to sit in front of the computer for hours adding items.
I'll get there eventually x

Busy again.

I've moved house and my studio has moved with me.
Although my studio space has downsized a little, it's still as busy as ever in the lead up to Christmas.
I'm currently on with a whole new batch of baby clothes and Momma Tanyo is busy crocheting pram and dolly blankets ready for all the Xmas stalls.
As well as doing several little stalls in the area I'm planning an open house one afternoon/evening for everyone I know to have the chance to buy some JoTanyo gifts and homeware.
But the stall I am most excited about  is Designers Market Place on 28th November at Middlesbrough Town Hall.

There will be over 40 different stalls there and they always play plenty of Christmas tunes to get you in a festive mood. I can't wait! See you there x

First stall of the year- Handmade 2

Sunday 7th February is the day after my birthday and also Handmade 2 at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds.

I will be there and so will these mini cushions. Ooooooh new things!

Christmas already

Despite dragging my heels in an attempt to not ruin the festive magic I made a start on my xmas stock back in September.

Here is a peek at the first lot of JoTanyo xmas decs. Xmas trees, scrummy xmas puds and pretty hearts, the latter when taken out of a festive context will still look sweet all year round! Bargain.

My next stall will be.....

I'll be here selling all the usual goodies plus some very special bits and bobs for xmas.

Designers Marketplace always has an amazing selection of stalls, so i suggest you skip the high street and do all you xmas shopping here.

Designers Marketplace Leeds

Here is a picture of my stall on Saturday. The day went really well and I sold lots of different bits and pieces. On the whole the best seller was the baby clothes i've just started making. It was the first stall that i'd sold them at and people really seemed to like them. Which is always nice.

Thanks to Heather for coming and helping me all day, I doubt I would have sold as much without her smiling face there.
