Stylish and £10 during October.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello everyone! Here is a little update of some studio and shop news. I've been extremely busy designing, creating and making- my new products now consist of aprons, tea towels, cards, pocket mirrors and notebooks. I've also had some fun designing a range of fabric that I've had digitally printed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
During October I'm having a promotion on my aprons in both my <a href="https://folksy.com/items/6866573-Apron-Screen-Printed-in-the-UK-Black-and-White-Birds-and-Leaves-Cotton-Drill-" target="_blank">Folksy</a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/386409080/special-offer-10-pounds-during-october?ref=shop_home_feat_1" target="_blank">Etsy</a> shops, for this month only they will up up for grabs at the lovely price of £10 (usual price £22). They have been printed to a high standard here in the UK on a good cotton drill which is nice and hard wearing. This is my hand drawn design which is stylish and good fun. </div>

Yes in only a matter of weeks I will once again be exhibiting at the <a href="http://www.bctf.co.uk/" target="_blank">BCTF</a> event in Harrogate and therefore I thought I would show a few of my new products. Some things might look very familiar.....but I'm always improving my work (as designers and makers we owe that to ourselves- its good to stretch our minds and skills) so hopefully my improved work should be better than last year. <br />

Hello lovely people in Blog Land and a Happy New Year to YOU!!!! This post is especially for those of you who I met during the many Christmas fairs I attended and asked.....'When are going to update your blog'? First of all thank you for sticking around.............last year I was BUSY! I spent my time last year mainly making my items for shops and galleries, I cannot deny that it wasn't easy but it was satisfying to be busy and appreciated! Gone are those days of sitting behind my work at craft fairs only to hear passers by say 'How lovely' or (quietly) 'You can make that yourself'! Well for now anyway, I'm not blinkered and those days could return!<br />
<br />

So....new things for 2014, I have updated my website <a href="http://www.onceuponatimeinthenorth.com/" target="_blank">www.onceuponatimeinthenorth.com </a>and there are many new items for sale over there. The telephone detail above is from my new <span style="background-color: #d5a6bd;">phone cases</span> and I also have lovely new <span style="background-color: #d5a6bd;">cosmetic bags</span> for sale. This year....well in the next few days, I will be designing and making <span style="background-color: #b4a7d6;">Glasses Cases</span>! Because I listen to you and this was the most asked for thing over Christmas, so I will now be making them. YAY! Applauses for me! If you would like one you can always contact me (at) <span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">mail@onceuponatimeinthenorth.com</span>. MMMM lets see what else is on my big list.......I have ideas for pictures, this is something new for me but an idea that I have thought long and hard over. I think I will be starting with a row of houses- as this is something else I've been asked to make. I also have new ideas for cushions! My head is FIZZZING!<br />

If you didn't know already I'm having a <span style="background-color: #e06666;">SALE </span>over on my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/onceinthenorth?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">Etsy website</a> and this will end on Jan 31st, so pop over there quick smart!!!!! I shall keep my handmade Etsy shop and I also have new things to list on it but I don't really have the time to dedicate to my buttons and ribbons shop any more, so that will probably fizzle out soon. Although I do have lots of lovely supplies so I will still sell them at craft events.<br />

I thought I would show you something new I'm working on. Hopefully this will eventually be a new scented cushion!<br />

Hello...feast your eyes on my lovely cushions I've made this year (this is a tiny selection). I haven't got much time to blog these days as I'm super busy with trade and gallery orders, however I'd still like to show you what I've been up to! Thank you....thank you.....thank you......</div>

Sorry folks that seems to be all I can upload tonight. I had planned a really lovely blog full of brand new pictures but for some reason these are the only pics I can show you. You will have to go to my web @ <a href="http://www.onceuponatimeinthenorth.com/">www.onceuponatimeinthenorth.com</a> to see a few more of my <span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">phone cases</span>. Hopefully volume 2 (haven't decided what to show you yet) will be kinder to me!</div>

Hi I'm back! I've just recently recovered from flu, hopefully I will never get it again. It lasted for two weeks- which has meant two weeks of being achy and feeling horrible, I've moped about on the sofa and actually put weight on, I've also lost two followers! MMM! Never mined....what is a girl supposed to do.<br />
<br />
But I have had time to ponder over stuff so here is some SHOP NEWS!!!!! I have decided to re-open my little button shop on Etsy. I've missed the sorting and counting and handling of such lovelies, most of all I need variety in my life and as much as I love making things I also love the selling of buttons and ribbons!! So there! My little enterprise was quite profitable so it seems daft to only sell my buttons at my craft markets. I expect life to get tricky now because the handmade side of my business has really taken off, but I'd rather be busy then sitting on my sofa. I have two huge boxes of gorgeous ribbons and trims I will be listing over the next few weeks! WOOPAH!<br />
<br />
I shall now go for a stride up the fell and then do a pile of sewing!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05137305685307134191noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496108778190866309.post-61926957805088586962013-02-07T06:02:00.001-08:002013-02-07T06:02:43.691-08:00Working on the House<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/onceinthenorth/8453509826/" title="Working on the House"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8381/8453509826_86320bb619.jpg" alt="Working on the House by Once upon a time in the north" /></a><br/><span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/onceinthenorth/8453509826/">Working on the House</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/onceinthenorth/">Once upon a time in the north</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p>Cutting and snipping today....sewing tomorrow!</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05137305685307134191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496108778190866309.post-21437997615237856042013-01-22T03:20:00.000-08:002013-01-22T03:20:32.610-08:00SALE Time<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Did you know I'm having a sale? Can you tell? I now have a sale page on my shiny new website-<br />
<a href="http://www.onceuponatimeinthenorth.com/" target="_blank">www.onceuponatimeinthenorth.com </a>and I have reduced the prices on many of my items over on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/onceinthenorth">http://www.etsy.com/shop/onceinthenorth </a><br />
<br />
I shall be adding items to my sale page on my website all week. I suppose this is what you get when your head is stuffed with ideas and you can't stop crafting and sewing. I'm sure that resonates with a few of you?<br />

I've been working on a new collection of products- for starters Dipper and Heron cushions. Scented of course.....some things don't change. Any whoo, I thought I'd show you a sneak preview.<br />

Since deciding to stop making my lovely Russian Doll cushions I've opted for a bit of a change of direction. So its guns-a-blazing as I embrace my beautiful surroundings- I often see Herons as I'm driving to my unit, I regularly see Dippers.....Blackbirds, Robins, Crows, Swallows, even game birds.....oh how I could go on and on. I'm very lucky!<br />

I'm taking my new cushions to the Borrowdale Shepherds' Meet this Sunday which is right in the rainy heart of the Lake District, hopefully I'll sell them all if not I shall list them in my Etsy shop. I was hoping to make a few Swallow brooches and country house key charms but I think they'll perhaps be ready for my next Craft Do!<br />
<br />
You can see more pics on my FB page- http://www.facebook.com/pages/Once-Upon-a-Time-in-the-North/179020078849068<br />

I was hoping to upload a few to Flickr but they've changed it and I don't know whats going on.........I do like change by the way!<br />

....moved back into my unit after been away for quite some time. This was quite scary and I was full of anticipation, it was like going back to work after a long enjoyable holiday, or the start of a new job. But I have no choice as my sewing is taking over the house- which is no fun for my family! Anyway it was great to be back and even better to get out of the house...although I do miss BBC 6 Music as I have no DAB radio there! I work at Brougham Hall near Penrith which is an on going restoration project, see here- <a href="http://www.broughamhall.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.broughamhall.co.uk/. </a><br />

......I hiked up Catbells near Keswick and after working solidly since January, with barely any exercise, this was hard work at first. To think I used to stride up here when the girls were younger, in the days when I had a proper job and made a point of going up some local mountain at the weekend. Oh the joys of being self employed! At least I'm happy now and look at the view of Derwent Water- which is only part of the lovely scenery you enjoy right at the top, well worth screaming lungs and wobbley legs!<br />

I'm not a graphic designer, as you can tell, but boy what a difference even just the simplest of packaging has made to my products.I think my 'Make Your Own' Bunting kits are presented with care and thought.<br />

I spent a few hours playing around with Microsoft Publisher and produced these very simple packet headers. When I have a little more time I intend (I always intend) to improve the packaging. But right now I'm very happy with what I've achieved here and everything is kept neat and tidy which is great for transportation to craft fairs.<br />

I'm particularly pleased with my 'Make Your Own' Prize Winning Ribbon kits, which I've made for the Borrowdale Shepherds' Meet next week in Borrowdale (funny enough) which is not far from Keswick. It took no effort to sew my buttons onto the tags and I think it looks great- they're presented nicely and you can see them!<br />

I haven't stopped with Make Your Own kits...oh no! I now sell these spotty heart buttons in lovely little boxes! There's no stopping me now and I'm not ashamed to admit I think I have a packaging obsession.....it could worse!<br />
