Don't miss my first Facebook e-Market! And a competition!

On December 1st at 8pm (just after the Strictly Come Dancing results show ends) I’m going to be running my first Facebook e-Market. “What’s an e-Market?” you may well ask. In short, it’s a really simple way to buy stuff from the cosiness of your sofa. I will be uploading a special album of photos to the wall of my Facebook page, www.facebook.com/madewithlovebykat. Each photo will have details about the piece along with the price. The first person to comment gets to buy the piece – you can pay by Paypal. I will post all the items out the very next day (Monday 2nd) so they will arrive in plenty of time for Christmas.

It's the perfect solution for those people who want to buy quirky handmade gifts but can't face the crush and madness of a city-centre Christmas market. And there's free postage and packing, so the price you see is the price you pay!

If you want to get involved (and of course you do!) then the best thing to do is to like my Facebook page and join the event at https://www.facebook.com/events/326008834205126/


Of course, any items that are sold before then won't be available, so if there's something you really love in either of my shops, www.madewithlove.folksy.com or www.madewithlovebykat.etsy.com, you'd better snap it up fast!

I'm also running a competition to win the gorgeous necklace pictured below. It features a link from a vintage Coro bracelet teamed with pearls, jasper and rock crystal. Like and share my Facebook page to be in with a chance of winning - once I get to 500 likes I will pick a winner!

Look! My craft stall!

Well the craft market at the Midsummer Festival this weekend didn't go brilliantly for me thanks to the rain, but lots of people did take business cards so hopefully they will go home and order online from the cosiness of their houses. But look how pretty my stall looked! And all made on a budget of about 50p, proving that you don't need to spend a fortune on display things: Of course, the highlight for me was lovely Thomas, the Clydesdale horse who had his shoes remade (they were huge! ) and gave small children rides up and down Churchgate. He was adorable.

Review: Hand Lettering A to Z by Abbey Sy

I've been wanting to try my hand at "proper" hand lettering for a while - I often get complimented on my handwriting but when it comes to lettering for journalling or cards I'm never quite as happy with the outcome as I hope to be. So when the lovely folks at Quarto Publishing got in touch with their Autumn catalogue I was thrilled to see how many titles they had on the subject. Hand Lettering A to Z by Abbey Sy is a gorgeous place to start. Abbey's instagram is absolutely lush (follow here here ) and I particularly love her Bangkok photos as we've just returned from there, so I was super excited to be able to have a look at her book. The book takes you through a range of hand drawn fonts, plus has additional chapters on embellishments and a gorgeous gallery of inspiration. See how beautiful? So exciting. I was so excited, in fact, that I totally ignored her advice to get a sharp pencil and a proper table to work at. 'I can do this in

A bright Malta layout with stitching

We had such a lovely time on our recent trip to Malta - and I got lots of photos that I'm enjoying making into layouts and mini albums. This one was taken at the gate to Mdina, where the first season of Game of Thrones was filmed. I didn't realise at the time that Luke was being silly behind me!   I used the Mr Huey double yellow mist from the latest Like For Ever kit to make a sunny background, and stitched sunbeams using the yellow ombre thread from the mixed media add-on. The ephemera was from last month's "In Bloom" kit, but I thought it was so lovely and bright it matched perfectly - I've been dying to use those feathers on something lovely!
