Recently I had the pleasure of meeting Sandra from
Ruby Loves Red. For those of you who aren't familiar with Ruby Loves Red, prepare to be amazed! Sandra creates the most amazing little plushies. Both inventive and beautiful, these stuffed creatures are bound to make you squeal with delight. When I saw the
Wing-A-Me-Jigs I turned into a small child - I just had to have one, I think if I didn't get to take one home with me I would have cried! Fortunately for me Colin bought me the chubbiest little Wing-A-Me-Jig in the box and no temper tantrum was needed...
One thing I find amazing about the Wing-A-Me-Jigs is that even with no mouth these little guys are smiling. Their little embroidered wings ensure that they will fly off the shelves! Not only does Sandra make these wonderful little creatures, she also makes so-sweet cards. These are illustrated by hand and have fabric stitched on to them - this does mean no 2 are alike! What a perfect little idea. Ruby Loves Red products can be found on their
Etsy Store. Sandra is a kind soul and undertakes custom orders, so if there is something you like but it's not your colour or you have your own wee idea why not
contact her?
Sandra's creations are fun and original. All designs are her own, to name a few she makes little dogs, cats, bunnies and proud mice. All the plushies are perfect as gifts and children will love them! They are super soft and the fabric and materials used ensure that these cuties are oh-so-huggable! Go on, treat yourself!
To celebrate the new Hungry Designs website I thought I would have a very special giveaway this month. This Bingo necklace is just too-cute! Kitsch and quirky, this necklace is bound to get you some attention.
I have another craft Fair this Saturday (30.05.09). It's in Glasgow again and is hosted by the Glasgow Craft Mafia. Entry is Free so I'm sure it will be busy. I'll be there with my jewellery, cupcakes and sweeties. I'm really looking forward to it!
I am on a high! I have been asked to stock my chocolates, candies AND jewellery at Create, a cafe and gallery store in Helmsdale Sutherland. Create specializes in carefully selected textiles, ceramics, jewellery and handmade cards. Boasting about making the best coffee, the Cafe has amazing views of Helmsdale and the sea - how wonderful!
Create is run by Rachel Skene a Glasgow School of Art Graduate, her handwoven textiles are for sale too. Rachel has received numerous awards such as The Incorporaton of Glasgow Weavers scholarship and the Hi-Arts grant. Create is very popular with travellers and those looking for a truly special gift; it has been described as a "much needed oasis on the A9".

So I'm on holiday at the moment and I've just come back from a lovely wee break at Glen Etive. It's on Scotland's West Coast and it's beautiful. Myself, Colin, Simon and Gills all headed out and we all had a great time. Everything is so unspoiled at Glen Etive and travellers and campers have a complete respect for the surroundings. Deer roam free, grazing wherever they chose, it is bliss. I'll admit, I'm not much of a camper but I loved it.
