Cute Axolotl Gift items

Due to the lack of Craft Fairs over the last couple of years I've turning my attention to putting my designs on a PoD site. What is a PoD Site? Print on Demand is when you can get any of my designs printed on a multitude of items from soft furnishings, mugs, cards and invitations. A lot of the designs can be personalised with a name or your own text. The site I'm using at the moment is Zazzle.co.uk You can check out my store by clicking on the link or on the Zazzle Shop Page above or in the side bar. 

 

Here is one of my favorite Axolotl items, this cute mug comes with a design on one side and text on the other side. You can keep the text as it is or change it to a name or remove it altogether.

Peg Dolls for NHS Staff

Gosh, we're into the second month of a new year, I wonder what 2021 will bring?

2020 was a challenge, lots of ups and downs and we've seen the best of many people, I, like many others have had to stay connected by the use of  phones, computers and the post.  Hearing a friendly, familiar voice on the phone, or reading a message from someone I care about has been wonderful but I've missed hugs from my close family and friends. 

I thought the lockdown during this global pandemic would give me plenty of time for lots of crafting but because of personal worry and stress I've not been very busy with my making and painting except for a few commissions and thank you gifts.

Three of my thank-you makes were personalised NHS Peg Dolls with different uniforms and hair colours,

I loved making these, the fact that they are so personal and different makes them special. 

At this time of uncertainty continue to stay safe and maintain the recommended practices that keep you healthy. Take care, stay safe.
