We are back....

Actually we have been back since Monday but hey....

So its business as usual at the CM HQ we are busy this week stocking up our stores etc etc. Talking about stores we have a new/old stockist! We are back and stocking at the lovely Green Apple online store. Very happy about this! So you can nip over and see their fantastic wares right here.

So, Anthony and I have been in Germany/Austria for 9 days. We visited a friend first then spent 4 days in Berlin then the rest of the time was spent on a couple of race tracks with Anthony and some other friends. Super fun!

Berlin was ace, a great place to visit just filled with lovely shops, great restaurants and great bars. I didnt know quite how obsessed Anthony was with communism, the cold war and spies! I soon found out. So the botton four photos were taken in Berlin. The top one is of us after racing, not sure why I have the coy Lady Di face on!!!!

So its back to work, we have lots of new things in the pipeline so we will keep you posted right here!

Very bad blogger again...

I have been so busy this week the poor Custom Made blog has taken a back seat again. I am preparing for a couple of big fairs so its all been one big production fest and you know what its going swimmingly!
We have lots of new things that are going to make their debut at the fairs, the first one being the Bust Summer Craftacular. We did the first UK Bust craftacular at Christmas and it was ace! So now we are doing the Summer one- cant wait. Lots of my crafty pals will be taking part too so its going to be great.
As well as the make fest for the fairs lots of lovely stock has just left CM HQ for Hannah Zakari and The Red Door Gallery. Its been a busy week...
Thats it for now, I have lots more to tell you but that will be for another post.

New Stockist...

We have a rather lovely new stockist for Custom Made. A little while ago I had a nice email from a lady called Fiona who had stumbled upon Custom Made and thougth our products would be great for her sister Elaines's store (what a great sister!) Anyway she urged me to email Elaine and the rest was history.
Its the rather cute Junction Art & Gifts in Aberdeen. If you have a look through the photos on the website I think you will agree that every item they have in the shop is fab! Such a cute little store. So, if you are in the area go and take a look.
