Some new Serendipity items recently listed on Etsy

Serendipity at Etsy

After several requests to make the Serendipity range available over the internet I have opened an Etsy shop. Only one item listed at the moment, but more to come, and some scrummy colours. Watch out for them over the next few days.

Some of you need to watch your postboxes over the next few days by the way ....

Back very soon

Vegetarian Silk?

Thanks to those of you that have responded so far. Most of you have sent your address, but a couple have forgotten! I will follow this up next week after Textiles in Focus.

In the meantime I wanted to show you a quick picture of a new line.



I am really excited about these new fabric rolls. We are calling them Embellisher Rolls as the contents are ideal for the machines, but also for any other sort of embellishing too! The main ingredient is Vegetarian Silk. Yes, that's right, a product called Vegetarian Silk. I found it by accident, and it takes the colour beautifully. What is Vegatarian Silk? Well, in truth it is a cellulose fibre from a sustainable renewable source. The rolls contain two pieces of the 'silk', (both are forms of pre-felt and it takes 3 layers of the finer one to make the thicker one. They are rolled together with a piece of fine viscose felt and some fine cotton scrim. Ideal to stitch into for any technique, though. There is another picture of the dyed Vegetarian silk here.

Giveaway Update

I am really sorry that this has taken so long. Please accept my apologies for the very long delay.

As compensation for the delay I have decided that I will send something to EVERYONE that posted a comment on the previous post, or who sent a mail to the email address. So.... everyone will be a winner of sorts but I will keep the overall winner secret for now, although there is one.

The email address is slightly different so don't get confused, and it isn't a link so you will have to write it into your mail.
sassalynne @ gmail.com (don't forget to close the gaps)

Apologies

I am so sorry not to have posted for so long, but I have had serious internet problems. I thought they were over, but it is still difficult to remain online for long. I will catch up on the prizes as soon as I can check the mail. That's the main problem with online mail boxes......

Appreciative comments

It's always good to have unsolicited comments. Here is one I received about the Sassa Lynne perle 8.

"I can't wait to see the new threads........ I absolutely love working with them. It makes me feel like I really know what the heck I'm doing:) They make it so easy and the colors are just awesome!!"

Thank you Candi, even though you don't know that I know!

If you haven't entered the giveaway draw do so now, it is nearly the end of the month.
