Sheila Fleet Gallery

I've been so busy lately that I didn't get a chance to show you all these gorgeous clutch bags. They are now on sale at the Sheila Fleet Gallery in Orkney. So if you are passing by please do pop in and have a look, Sheila also designs the most beautiful jewellery.

There are 5 different clutch bags in the shop but these are 3 new ones. You can also get the Juicy clutch and the Amarillo clutch, unless they have sold out of course :D

These 3 new bags are now available to buy from my website here, now you know the drill there are a limited number of these (I only have 1 of each) so be quick before they're sold out.

Did you know that each clutch bag has a bow on the front in the same fabric, it frames the rhinestone flower nicely and gives a different dimension to the detail on the front of the bag.

Oh how I love to make clutch bags :D

Rememberance Day

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.....we will remember you!!

Round up...

Phew!! At last I get to sit down for an evening and relax with C. Oh yes and Nell and Oli. Its been a manic week. Christmas decorations have dominated my week, along side a poorly kitty (Oliver) with Trauma to his cornea :( on the mend now so that's good.

This week its going to be another busy one with 2 bag orders, one a custom order, kindle covers and some more decorations. So if I'm missing from blog land you know where I am.

I'll be back with photos soon :)

Read all about it......

Isn't this fella just the cutest chimp in town? I have to confess this is part of the reason that I signed up to Mail Chimp, the rest of my decision was down to the fact that they have such a fab reputation of being against spam emails. Therefore what you get when you subscribe to a Mail Chimp is genuine and not a load of rubbish arriving in your mail box once a week/month. I hate spam emails.You have an option to unsubscribe at any time, which I like so people have the right to stop subscribing anytime they want.

After being on the receiving end of Mail Chimp newsletters I thought, yeah I'd like to have a go at that and signed up.

My aim is to use a monthly newsletter to offer discounts and promotions like 'free delivery' and incentives. There will be little snippets of news and links to some very lovely fellow crafters. Like I said I hate spam emails so there is no chance of me bombarding you with a load of tosh. So far I only have 24 subscribers so when I reach 50 I will launch the very first Bagladee Newsletter. They are all from the UK so it would be really lovely if you overseas readers joined in too :D

If you would like to subscribe then you can do so by clicking on the Mail Chimp image above or by the little box on the right of my blog. I would love to have you on board for the next milestone of Bagladee.

5 things you didn't know about me....

(Saw this on another blog and thought it would be fun)

1. I am obsessed with Zombie Films and I'm a huge fan of the American series 'The Walking Dead', its my highlight of a Friday night. I have no idea where this obsession came from but its there and I embrace it by watching all the latest Zombified creations.

2. I was a competitive dancer in my early years and when I was 16 I won the Lincolnshire and Humberside championship (I have a lovely shield to prove it :) lol).

3. I cant eat Lasagne without covering it with vinegar! C thinks its disgusting but I've always done it. In fact my Mam called me last week and said what did you have for dinner and as soon as I said Lasagne she said "with vinegar?" to which I replied, "Of course!".

4. When I was little I wanted my middle name to be Mary (I don't actually have a middle name). My best friend in infants school was called Mary. Her Dad was a doctor and after a couple of years they moved back to Pakistan. I missed her so much I wanted to have her name as a middle name. I never actually changed it, I just used to write it on my letter to Santa every year ;D Awwwwwww!!

5. I have one Tattoo, I spent all of my youth saying I would never get any tattoo's until one day I just changed my mind. I have my own Celtic inspired design on the side of my hand and on Thursday next week I will be having a very special tattoo added to my wrist on the same hand. Its something that means a lot to me (some people will think its a bit strange) but as it represents a significant milestone of my life I'm sure you will all understand why.

Feel free to join in by posting your own :D

Cupcakes & books

Cant believe I forgot to show this post :( I think it was because I posted some photos on my FB page and thought no more about it. I know 'How dare I'!!!

These lovely pair were another order from the fabulous Clare *waves* and I have to say that the cupcake is most definitely my favourite motif to date. Gorgeous sunny yellow front and candy pink back. And another of the book motif, this time petrol blue front and sage green/grey back.

Couldn't resist showing some close ups.....

.....pretty button detail on the cupcake, looks good enough to eat right?

Here is the close up of the book, lovely hues of greys against the petrol blue.

When I first thought about cutting up the lovely samples of leather, I felt sick to my stomach. One mistake and its ruined. Now I'm itching to get my hands on some more leather so that I can have a go at some ipad covers and a netbook cover for myself.I'm thinking monogram 'B' for obvious reasons.....

If you are interested in having a kindle/iphone/ipad cover made, please do get in touch.....you can have what ever you like as a motif on the front you just need to ask :)
