Hello... and here they are!!!

Hello I am back! well back from the trade show at the N.E.C. and ready to show you the latest collection I have designed.

Still cannot beleive the response the stamps received, so hopefully the stamps will be more readily available to you all. I am still buzzing with excitement, I met so many people who all had such good things to say about the stamps so thank you.

In this collection I have introduced a collection of sentiments to work along side Molly and George, I hope you like. Today I am sharing Maid Molly, Daphne and Dilly the hens, Eggs and made with love sentiment. The wooden table and flag banner are both from last years Summer collection, which are still available. Go to http://www.mollybloomsdesigns.co.uk/ for your local stockist and to see where Molly will be next appearing as a demo or workshop, this website will updated over the next few days so please be patient! with me.

One thing before I go, a big, big thank you to all the girls on the design team who made samples to help boost mine for the N.E.C. they were admired by many.

Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think of the new collection.
Thanks for dropping by, I will be back soon to share more of the new Molly and George with you.

Busy! Busy! Busy!....

Good Morning to you all,

Yes I am still here, can't believe I last posted in January, now Febuary is half gone! and I still do not have much to show you, perhaps a little burnt out with all the new designs and preping for the trade show Stitches...gosh I am saying my prayers for it to go well.

Going to share this little sneek peek, which is just a little taster to keep you all in suspense for a while longer.

I must away now to my Copics.


Have a good Tuesday,

Yesterday...

Good Sunday Morning to you all out in blog land, thought I had better do a posting before January completely runs out, just do not know where its gone!!!

It was my first workshop of 2011 yesterday and when I set off at 6.45am yesterday morning I had no snow to contend with on my journey, just ice to scrap off the car. I miss the snow as I went nowhere on my travels in December without it, do you think thats it for this year?

Well is was great to get back in the swing of things with a workshop. Yesterdays bunch of ladies were great and we had such a giggle mainly about dieting, weight watchers points and my yummy full fat lunch from 
M & S, but I did impress them with my pot of fresh tropical fruit sticks instead of a triffle. I just love there triffle but thought I would draw the line as I had a bag of hand cooked crisps aswell! Not one of them had what I call a proper bag of crisps! Anyway what this has to do with crafting I do not know...

Yesterdays project was a 3D watering can, which I promised them I would post today, as they did not quite finish, due to getting lost at the colouring in stage. It always brings out the child in us, especially the tounge out of the side mouth bit as we concentrate!!! It was so nice to be doing something for spring.

Finally this is an important S.O.S to all the ladies who attended yesterdays workshop please can you all have a look in your bags to see if you have picked up by mistake a clear pencil case with lots goodies in it especially a magnolia tag die, as its mine and I am lost without it! I have rung the the shop and its not there so heres hopng you may have it!

Well thats all for today, hope you like although you probably think photo over load!
Love

Meet Bingo...

Well its been and now its gone, what was all the stress about?
Another Christmas over and I really hope you had a lovely time. My parents spent Christmas with us and my sister and family were home in England for the first time in 4 years, so it was so nice to be all together around the dinning tabel for dinner! which my wonderful hubby prepared, I was chief kitchen hand, dishwasher loader and pot washer!!!

The kids really loved there presents especially "Bingo" the 8 week old kitten, I did not realise its so hard to find a kitten around winter time, but with the wonders of the web, lots of email exchanges and  a snowy trip out to collect her on Christmas Eve, we managed to get a kitten...she is so cute and a real hit with everyone especially Alfie our puppy who just wants to lick her !!!

Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine is on sale on the 6th January 2011 and I am so proud to be featured again, this time I have designed the Exclusive Free Gift, a set of Molly Blooms stamps. So I will leave you with a small sneek peek of whats on offer, so be sure to buy your copy. Just remember that these stamps are not the usual deep etched  red rubber that my stamps are always produced in so the stamping  may not be the usual quality, but what a fab free gift while you await my new range!

A big thankyou to you all for reading and following my blog, I really do enjoy reading your comments, heres to many more.

Finally may I wish you all a happy and peaceful New Year for 2011.

Love "n" Hugs
