Spring and Summer, please come back

We had a hot summer, I complained a little about how hot it was. I wish now that I hadn't because I am now WELL over this rain.

I want Sangria on the summer served in jars and sipped through stripy straws. Pretty Please?

Buying Songbird Designs

You may have noticed a new feature I have added to my blog? I was lucky enough to win a subscription to Vendr (thanks Vendr- loving your work), an on-line store that pop's up in your own website. I am still loading products up on to the Vendr, hopefully the bulk of it will be done by the end of the weekend.


You can get to my Vendr store by clicking on to the 'Buy Online' tab at the top of the blog or buy clicking on the 'Buy Songbird Designs' button on the left hand side of the blog.

It means that you don't have to go anywhere else to buy Songbird Products. You can pay via paypal or by bank deposit (NZ only).


This doesn't mean that you can't buy from me via my trusty Felt store - I love Felt and will be maintaining my store the same as always.


You will also notice a sign up button - this is for you to go on to my mailing list. I don't intend on creating a  newsletter as such, but I will use this mailing list for specials and promoting new products.

A Little Softie

First things first. I can't sew - I mean really i CAN'T sew. I would love to be able to but I was not gifted with that gene. In saying that, I was inspired by something Cat was making at the market on Sunday and I was desperate to give it a go. And here he is and I am feeling very chuffed with myself. 

Now he is not perfect (don't look too close at the photograph) and I have LOADS to learn but I think he is a pretty good effort for a first time try. Thanks to Jenny for the trims as well!

It has been really good timing as the child has been ill this week. Really unhappy ill. So I have just finished his "get well soon" gift and I am looking forward to him waking up so that I can give it to him... well actually I am looking forward to giving it to him - I won't mind if he sleeps a little longer :-).

I have now contracted the same illness as the little one - I knew I should have resisted those germy kisses..... 

I am going to give this pattern another try before i look for the next one to do - let me know if you know of any 'beginner' tutorials for felt softies that I could try next!
