Mothering Sunday and lots of new pieces

Valentine's Day is tomorrow, so I'm now focussed on the next event of the calendar - Mothering Sunday, which is Sunday 18th March.



My head is literally teeming with ideas of things I want to make, which is a problem in itself, as I don't quite know where to start!!


So far, I've made some lavender hearts, I'm halfway though some new fairies, and I've finished another ragdoll. These are all on, or soon will be, on the website www.hollysfriends.co.uk, but just to get you in the mood, here are some new piccies...

























And here is a little poem about the big day from the wonderful John Hegley:

Smothering Sunday

To a wonderful mother
with wrinkly skin,
this card was concocted
by one of your kin.
I hope that you like it
it's specially for you,
I've sprinkled some glitter
on top of some glue.
I don't like the bought ones
I thought you should know,
they're too superficial
and two quid a throw
some of them.

Valentines Day Gifts - a word to the wise.

Exciting News!!!

I've been so overwhelmed by the fabulous responses to my work, that I've decided to have a proper, dedicated website. We've been working on it since Christmas. You'll find all my products there, and I've set up Paypal too, so ordering couldn't be more simple. I am adding new items on a daily basis, so please pop on and have a look, and maybe add www.hollysfriends.co.uk to your favourites!

Lots of love

Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

Well...can you believe it? January is nearly over, and it will be Valentine's Day before we know it. Don't get caught out  this year and have to woo your loved one with a bag of Mint Imperials from your glovebox (you know that's happened to you before - admit it!)

If you want to give something ever-lasting, thoughtful, unique and Designer made, look no further. Simply click on the Valentine's Ideas tab (above) and see some gorgeous new jewellery pieces I've been creating, as well as some of my classic Country Crafts which are very fitting.

Hope you all have a perfect Valentine's Day

New Jewellery Pieces!

I've added some new jewellery pieces to the Jewellery Shop page. I hope you like them :-). There are lots more still to come.

Customer photographs

I'm really keen to hear your comments, and see photos of the items you've bought from me 'in situ', and with your permission, post them here on the blog.

Here is a photo of the lovely Lucy's fireplace, displaying the short Heart Garland as part of her Christmas arrangement. Thank you Lucy, and thank you for the photos xx

The Christmas Rush!

Wow, I've been phenominally busy this month! My local gift shop has been selling lots of my pieces, so I've had to make more to restock her, lovely people from work have bought pieces and ordered commissions, and lovely people from my forum have placed orders with me. I wasn't sure I'd get it all done in time, and the blog has certainly suffered for it, but I hope to get it ship-shape and Bristol-fashion over the Christmas break.

In the meantime, here's one of the ragdoll commissions I've just finished (for baby Eleanor)... 

...and a big pile of jewellery that I've been making, but haven't been able to photograph properly yet!

I'm certainly not complaining though, it's been absolutely amazing, and I've had some lovely lovely compliments about my work, thank you so much everyone :-) ...PS, If you have bought from me, please feel free to leave a comment for everyone to see.

Bestest Christmas Wishes to you all
