The 52MMMC Week 9

Well hello! long time no see so to speak, I am back again with another make for your viewing.

Quite some time back now I took part in a P I F (pay it forward) Giveaway and part of the rules of taking part was that I would go on to host my own P I F Giveaway and send a wee something handmade on to three more people.
As I have now made and sent off these PIF gifts I thought that I would include them in my 'makes' challenge and let you see what flew off in the post recently......

After much doodling, stitching and creating with fabric and thread it was time to put all the pieces together, the easy part really and the part where everything comes together...

zip being put in


sides being stitched



turning


finishing off


and hey presto a wee zip purse!


well two wee zip purses..


make that three wee zip purses for three lovely ladies!


I hope they are loved and well used! ;0 x

September Giveaway!

Time for a giveaway!
This is a special giveaway with CSN Stores.
They have some great online stores to have a browse through where you can find everything from cookware to ceiling lights to furniture!

The giveaway is for a £50 gift voucher for you to use as you wish in any of their UK websites. How exciting hey?!! especially when it's the time of year with the change of the seasons happening or on the horizon, the kids back to school, it's time to think about a wee treat for yourself I feel!

I am loving these amazing chandeliers on there! well, I can dream no?!


Such a pretty branch (light) to having hanging form your ceiling.... *sigh*


But what I think I would be spending my voucher on would be some of their colourful and fun bake and cookware!

hearts


and stars!


Oooo a fun set of cutters! wee biscuits from these would look great for an afternoon tea or a party for big and small people alike!


wee planes!


and gingerbread people!!


Well I could go on but go see for yourselves, hop on over to CSN Stores and have a browse of their goodies and enter the giveaway for a chance to win the voucher to spend!

To enter please leave a comment on this post during the next 7 days.
The giveaway will end on Sunday 19th September 2010 at 10pm (GMT) and I will randomly select and announce a winner on Monday 20th September.

To increase your chances of winning this lovely prize you can gain one extra entry for doing each of the following:
- blogging about it
- tweeting about it
- following/subscribing to the 'me plus molly' blog
(for the first two please leave a comment here with the link to it).

Well it's been a while since I've posted and I'll be showing you soon what I've been making. I've been making items to see me through 3 fairs/markets in a week, yes I know not the best plan ever but that's the way they fell I'm afraid. So I have been basically attached to either a pair of scissors cutting fabric, an iron transferring images I've sketched or a sewing machine constructing the items to have on my stall!! Phew! pics soon.
Until then enter the giveaway!!!
Hope you've been enjoying your weekend ;0 x

PIF Giveaway

Just a short text post today!

Well there weren't many bods wanting to take part in the PIF, which is a shame, I could always take it personally that maybe it's a reflection on me or my work (arrghhhh!) but I do know and understand that peeps have an awful lot going on just in their day to day lives let alone their own work.
Anyhow for me I just wanted to pass on a bit of goodness in the act of giving which is what this Pay It Forward Giveaway means to me so the 3 lovely bloggers who will receive a little purse from me in the next few months are:
Pink Milk
Bluebell
Ravenhill
So if you could email me your addresses that would be great - email to: hello(at)meplusmolly.co.uk

I shall look forward to creating and sending you these! Let me know of any more likes/dislikes in your email :) x

Bits, bobs and PIF Giveaway!

First of all I wanted to say a BIG thank you to the lovely Karen at Blueberry Park as I won one of her items in her giveaway a few weeks back now and have been rubbish in showing you it and saying I love it! and who wouldn't?! yummy spotty peg bag.


Also to tell you about the upcoming exhibition I'm taking part in as part of:


The exhibition which members of The Print Block are taking part in is themed around the idea of:

Fab! I can't wait to see all the prints displayed. There will be limited edition runs of prints for view and for sale, be sure to pop down if you're in the area. Check out the Print Block website for details.

And soooo to my PIF Giveaway - so in other words a Pay It Forward Giveaway, to take part you must be prepared to be a part of it too - hence the pay it forward - as in one good turn deserves another and just to pass the giving onwards really!

This 'Pay it Forward' giveaway has been 'passed' on as it were as I was one of the winners of Little Cottage Comforts giveaway months back now and part of taking part and winning was that you went on yourself (within a year) to do the same - hold a PIF giveaway.

So basic rules:

I will send something handmade to three people, who will then go on to give something handmade to another three people.

So if you are up for this one BASIC rule then please put your name forward for the draw!!!

In the comment please make sure you are easy for me to contact.
Let me know your favourite colour, any particular theme, style, emblem you like etc anything interesting and what I am proposing to do is to make you up a zip purse with your own unique little design ala by my fair hand especially for you.

I shall draw names out of a handy hat or bowl in a weeks time, Monday 21st June 2010.
So what do you say are you up for a bit of sharing, giving, 'paying it forward'??? If so then please leave a comment to take part.

Back and onto the next thing............

Back from the Contemporary Textiles Fair 2010 and plenty of tidying up to do and sorting out methinks!
There was a lot of amazing work there as always, so much to see, far too many beautiful things to want and covet! I would have liked to run amock with my camera snapping away to my hearts delight but I think people may have had a few things to say. So you'll just have to take it from me about the stunning talent that was there or better still next year go and see it for yourself! So you'll have to make do with some pics of my stand this year.............









I apologise in advance that these are not the greatest pics but I always feel a little lost without my wee tripod and some decent natural light!
So onto the next thing....... this week I'm taking part in part of a blog giveaway. Rebecca of The Ardent Sparrow is having a huge giveaway week with all sorts of sellers participating every day. Each day you can enter and win different things. My 'giveaway item' will be posted about friday, so get yourselves on over there and take part this week, five days of opportunities, who knows you may just be lucky one of the days! enjoy ;0 x
