I love everything about crafts. I have tried everything from scrapbooking, cardmaking, sewing, drawing, painting, knitting, crochet, dolls house making, etc. Basically you name it, I've probably tried it. I started this blog to display my numerous crafts, my inspiration and maybe a few tips on what I have learned. Thank you for visiting my blog and happy reading!

Dust Covers

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well. I usually post about my progress on my dolls house but I thought I would try posting something different. Recently I have been making dust covers for various machines that we own. Dust is usually one of the biggest problems when it comes to different machines breaking down.
So far I've made covers for my husband's PlayStation 3, xbox 360 and Apple iMac and for my Cricut Imagine and Cricut Expression. The reason for this post is I wanted to know if anyone would be interested in purchasing any of these covers. I can make them to order and I can do personal embroidery for them (names, brands, shapes, etc). The cost for the covers would depend on the individual requirements; I can make covers to specific sizes as well, all I would need is measurements. I can also make various die-cuts; I own at least 40 Cricut cartridges and numerous SVG files so I can make almost anything for anyone, again to personal requirements. I have been thinking about opening either a etsy, eBay or maybe even a Facebook shop to sell these, however I'm unsure whether I would get enough interest. I've posted some photos below showing what I have already made for myself and an example of the type of embroidery I can do (sorry for the poor quality). If anyone is interested please either comment or email me, I would love to hear your opinions.
Thank you again.
Take care x

Hello

Hi everyone! I hope you are well. Unfortunately this is just a little hello instead of a full post.
As you are all very aware dolls houses are very expensive hobbies (when you want them to be grand and realistic) and can take a long time to complete. For me the cost is a little too much as I would like so many beautiful (and expensive!) things to get the first floor completed by August. I'm not saying I'm giving up completely on my dolls house; not in the least. I would just really like to save some money up so I can buy exactly what I want instead of just opting for the cheaper option to get it finished quicker. Therefore my blog is going to be limited in the way of dolls houses and it will probably focus on my other crafts while I am saving. I will try and update as frequent as possible, but I can't make any promises.
I hope you can understand my situation (as most of you are probably in the same boat) and you will be patient with me.
If anyone has any good ideas about creating beautiful realistic houses on a budget please, please, please let me know, I'm all ears.

Thanks again and take care x
