How time flies....


I was just over on the Renegade Handmade blog and saw this pretty pic! I cant believe Renegade Handmade is going to be three years old soon. Time flies! I am very proud that Custom Made has been stocked in the store since it opened in 2007 which was the first time we did Renegade Craft fair by the way (best craft fair ever) So anytime you are in Chicago, you seriously need to visit the shop...its ace. Oh and you can shop online too!

Tumblr...

I really like looking at the photos on Terry Richardsons Tumblr. I usually have a look every day. I particularly like the photos of his dog Mick. Here he is modelling Karen Walker sunglasses...

Super!

A big thank you....

To everyone who came to the Bust Summer Craftacular in London on Saturday. I had a fab time and served lots of lovely customers! There were so many great vendors there too...

I was on my own running the Custom Made table this time. Usually my BF Anthony helps me but he was off racing, therefore I didnt get a chance to take any photos....

If you want to take a look at some rather nice photos go over to the Peas and Needles blog, Lucy took some lovely ones!

I have had a rather nice day off today and will be doing the same tomorrow (except for posting out your orders!)

Remember the best tote ever?


Remember I blogged about the best tote ever?

Well I didnt buy it.

BUT I did buy the best table runner ever.....yay!

Turns out my swoons over the best tote ever got back to the artist Bart Albers who is a nice and friendly fella. So i told Bart (via Twitter) that I actually loved the table runner and wanted to buy it for a wall hanging. Well it turns out that he has one in his house as just that (a wall hanging) Hey whats good enough for the artist is good enough for me (and Anthony!) and Lucy Davidson
Lucy chatted to me on twitter telling me thanks to my twittery link she had bought the table runner. So with Lucy's lead and the twitterings from Bart how could I resist! I cant wait to see the hanging in Lucy's house too.
