This bunting design came direct from the customer, I did absolutely nothing! She asked for denim and she asked for yellows and oranges for the lettering. So bingo! Here it is. And I happened to have the little felt stars in reds, oranges and yellows, so I added those as well. And I absolutely love it. So vibrant and perfect for a little boy's bedroom. And this is what Luca's mum had to say, "Thank you so much for all the work you put into it, it is lovely and has been beautifully made & I will pass your details onto all my friends. xAmi" Thanks Ami!!!...

Yeah, I know I'm not great at the embroidery, but it's legible right? And I love the idea that you can add a little personal message to the bunting, especially if it's being given as a gift for a christening. I so want one of those embroidery machines though!! My spidery handwriting embroidery takes me forever to do!...

Cath Kidston vintage cars teamed up with the stone stars. Very cute combo for a little boy's nursery. Or a big boy's office perhaps!!!...

It really seems like we've had tonnes of bank holidays recently - not that I'm complaining! And of course, there'll be another one coming up on June 5th for Her Majesty the Queen! Apparently, there are more Jubilee street parties registering than there were for the Royal Wedding. So if you're planning something, or if like us, there's a little bit of a quiet competition going on on your street to deck the front of your house out with union jack bunting, then look no further! Union Jack bunting on sale through My Bunting, but with a lovely vintage floral fabric style, which will really stand ou...

Lovely colours for a neutral nursery and I was asked to include two little teddy bears either end. I love making these padded letters, but each letter is cut out by hand and it's entirely hand stitched. So as you can imagine, it takes me forever to make! So fiddly, especially when you've got to stuff little teddy bear arms!...

Inspired by a great shopping trip to Lincoln today, I’d love to make some bunting using some big ole buttons! So let me know if anyone fancies commissioning me to make some for themselves! Available from bitsandbats.com based in Bradford.

Lovely lady Jane at Poppies Paraphenalia on ebay stocks loads of lovely Cath Kidston fabrics along with lampshades, cushions, curtains… ooh and some lovely roman blinds that I have my eye on for the new kitchen. Jan has an ebay shop, so take a look here….

It might say something about me, but I went to this website and the first thing I saw were the words ‘Giant Cupcake!’ and they had me hooked!! I made some bunting for Hayley for a wedding fayre to decorate her stall and this is what she makes. Gorgeous looking cupcakes for weddings and birthdays or… perhaps just to celebrate the fact it’s Friday?! Any excuse for cupcakes I always say!

I absolutely don’t mind in the slightest if customers choose their own fabric. They can either say ‘I want that one’ and send me a link or they can send me the material in the post. Anyway, Edwina asked me to buy this combo of fabrics and they’re lovely… proper deckchair bunting!

And Edwina gave me great feedback!

“Hi Lucy,

The bunting arrived today! I have just finished putting it up – it is utterly fantastic! It really is such beautiful quality and more perfect than I could have imagined.

Thank you so much for all your help and your speed. I shall recommend you to everyone I know!

Best wishes and many thanks again,

Edwina”

 

Oh and if you’re interested, this gorgeous fabric came from Norfolk Textiles, who stock Clarke & Clarke fabrics.

Planning a vintage wedding? Well take a look here for inspiration! I love Anne-Marie’s photos. They’re so vintage, so delicate, so antiquey looking! These are handmade bespoke bouquets made from material! Absolutely stunning. And unlike my bouquet that I had to throw out yesterday – whoops wasn’t I supposed to keep a rose from it to dry out as a keepsake? Should I rescue it from the bin? Anyway, Anne-Marie’s beautiful bouquets are the perfect keepsake!

Take a look at Posy Rosy Bouquets and Beautiful Things.

Well, we’re all caring and sharing on the t’interweb aren’t we, so here’s a little link sharing!

My talented mother has just launched a website. Well, when I say she’s launched a website, what I really mean is that she’s sat back and let my equally talented boyfriend build her a website!! And it’s ready!

It’s completely different to bunting, so forgive me if it’s not of interest, but hopefully there’ll be some teachers out there reading this! It’s a resource site for original drama scripts for primary and secondary school, including duologues, quartets, humorous poems, choral speaking and school assemblies. They’re ideal for drama festivals – especially if you’re tired with the same old scripts that seem to do the rounds every year and for LAMDA examinations.

Hope you like it!

I adore this website! If you’re planning a wedding, then definitely take a look at this website. This is completely how I’d have my tables for my wedding…. if I’m ever asked! The Vintage Teapot was set up to provide a vintage tea party feel to wedding receptions. All mismatched, eclectic and beautiful vintage china tea cups, tea pots and cake stands. It’s all just adorable. And for a wedding fayre in Lincoln, I made them some personalised bunting in gorgeous floral Cath Kidston fabric… with of course… little teapots!
