Woof!!
I am so excited that so many of you are signing up to be involved in the Scrap Swap!! We will post all of the details of scrap sizes, etc in our next post and if you are only now logging on look at our previous post as you can still join up!
This week and next I have devoted to coming up with a few new designs for pattern release in April. There have been so many other deadlines that free design time has been scarce and I have set these 2 weeks aside to get all of those ideas that have been brewing into life. I have made a cute new bag which still needs handles so I will share that with you later next week. While the bag was put aside for a couple of days this sweet little fella, "Fido", managed to find life! He is such a fun addition to the flossy home and has already become a firm favourite for Little Floss! I found them sleeping together last night before he was even completed!
Today the postman brought an exciting package of fabric to my door too! (he was a bit nervous coming to the door with all the barking going on but was soon put at ease when he saw young Fido!)
Isn't this new Alexander Henry fabric just to die for???!!!
The colours haven't come out quite true to life on the photo but it is just the most fun range!! I hope I can fit some of this into my designing next week!
Now I have to go and clean up my sewing table which is a complete disgrace! I am looking forward to my new studio which will be a reality soon so that the table in question can go back to being our dining table!
May the floss be with you, Melly.
Fido is so cute! Bless Little Floss for taking him to sleep in a big warm bed :)

Such a lovely puppy - bet he's really well behaved & can easily be taken anywhere - holidays, school pick-up, I'm sure he's that good you could even sneak him into the cinema. A great pet!
I even think that my cat would welcome him into our home.

I love it!! As soon as my little girl saw it she said "But Momma why can't he talk" I don't know where she came up with that. I assured her he could talk. Now if he can only fly to the U.S. we can have him over for play time.

OK Melly you have to stop - there is only a certain amount of fab flossies that I can persuade my 21 year old daughter and 18 year old son to have in their rooms LOL. I'm sure Fido would be a great role model to the 2 unruly canines that already live it this house that could be my excuse to make him.

Wow. Love Fido. You know i was only thinking on the weekend, I hope Melly and Me do a Puppy Flossie soon. YOu must have read my mind.

I have only just found your blog and have been binge reading ever since. I can't believe it has taken me so long to find you! Your talent is amazing. What an amazing eye for what will make children want to play. I am so happy to have landed here! Fido is gorgeous. My Little Princess would have him in a flash! - Jen
