Buttons!

As mentioned yesterday I received a delivery of buttons in the post. Lots of buttons in fact, in lovely little bags for you! I got some gingham buttons and nice themed buttons in a bag.

You can now purchase all of these at the Titchables shop! I will be adding them gradually to the Etsy shop too so stay tuned!

Mushroom Brooches!

These have been in my to-do pile for quite a while. To be fair, my to-do pile keeps getting bigger and bigger at the moment because I seem to have a bit of stitchy ADD at the moment. Either way, I finally sat down and stitched these up on Sunday.

I wasn't actually actually sure how they would turn out. They were originally going to be magnets and then half way through sewing one I decided they would work better as brooches, and I think they do. They're available in 4 colours (as you can see!) and you can now buy them from the Titchables Etsy Shop!

Special Offer!

As already mentioned, I am winding down the little foray into jewellery making. You can now grab a great bargain at the Titchables Shop! Just head on over to the Rings & Necklaces section, pop 2 items in your cart, purchase and I will refund the cheapest item!

Alternatively, you can buy 1 item, and in the message to seller section, tell me which other item you want for free! :)

Shop Update!

Made some lovely flower bobby pins the other day. I wasn't sure about them at first but after taking their photos and checking out what they look like on the laptop, I really quite like them. There's 4 sets in total (3 sets of 3 and 1 set of 5), the last set will be up at the Titchables shop in the next hour or so.


I had a mad wave of inspiration about an hour ago and manically drew a bunch of new brooch/magnet/keychain designs which I'm gonna work on this weekend.

I'm shifting my attention away from jewellery, it was a fun experiment but I won't be adding any new rings or necklaces to the shop from now on. I will probably have a little sale or special offer on them soon. I have no shame in admitting when something doesn't work - I think it's always best to cut your loses before you end up losing out more, right? Either way, that isn't to take away from what is in the shop now, just that it isn't really for me, y'know?

Finally, my secret plans I've been (probably annoyingly) mentioning lately took a very good turn this week. I've been waiting on some funding, ideas to form and planning A LOT behind the scenes and it's all coming together rather nicely. I'll hopefully have an announcement sometime late next week!

New Products!

These have been in the planning stages for absolutely ages. I wanted to do notebooks ever since the 09 diary covers I made were so successful and I finally got around to sewing these up last night. I'll be adding these to the Titchables shop over the coming days, the orange one is available now!

Another crytic message, but! Things are moving forward with the future I want to take with Titchables. I'm still hesitant to reveal exactly what it is just in case something gets delayed and/or goes wrong, but it's looking as though the next few months and going to be very busy and exciting for me! I still have a huge amount of planning to do, but I'm really excited about what's going on behind the scenes. :)

Also, I recently won a Twitter competition to get my banner displayed on a UK craft site!! I won the top banner and you can check it out here at Handmade Crafts UK. Hopefully this will give my shop some extra exposure over the coming month while it's on display!

Finally, I recently joined a site where you can ask me a question. Can be anything you like and I'll do my best to answer them regularly. Check it out here!

New Goodies!

A few more goodies have been added to the Titchables online shop over the past week or so. I've had a very successful week with new items coming together, selling quite a few bits and my plans are working out very nicely so far. I can't wait to start sharing all my cryptic messages in full with everyone!

Cute Cupcake Felt Keychain by Titchables

I haven't been feeling well this weekend so I've been doing a lot of crocheting, sitting in front of the tv and drinking lots of tea. But hopefully I'll be re-energised tomorrow and start working on some new plush that I have sketched out. :)

New Blog Design!

Hello hello! Just a quick message to say that the blog has changed design. Hopefully you think it looks nice.

I've been working the past few days on re-designing my logos and packaging so I thought I would celebrate by changing the blog and the Titchables shop around a little bit.

I used to work on websites a few years ago, I've actually found it quite interesting to see how much I remember website coding. It's amazing what you can re-learn quickly when you take the time to just focus. Hope it comes in handy for some future projects I have lined up (that are still secret!).

Finally, just wanted to mention that yesterday was Titchables' most successful day yet. I managed to sell 6 items so thank you very much! It seems the button sets are very popular so this is definitely a line I'm going to keep and expand over the coming few months. :)

Button Eye Candy

I finally received some supplies at the weekend which gave me the opportunity to make some new button sets. I've been sourcing some really cute and lovely fabrics lately to make these with and their definitely a line I want to expand on. They seem to be getting a lot of hearts whenever I add them to etsy which is always a good thing - just hope they end up equalling into a sale. :)


Some of these new sets are available in my shop already. I'll be adding the rest over the next couple of days. :)

I've also been busy the last two days working on a new logo design and packaging labels, etc. I'm really happy with how it's turned out and I'll show you the final design soon. This is all in preparation for my secret project I'm working on - which is still in the very early planning stages, I like mentioning it though because I'm really excited about it!!

Research

Today I've spent researching some ideas I have to take Titchables further. If you don't know already, I'm currently out of work and my job search isn't proving very successful so I've been thinking more and more about trying to bring my little internet business to life more and really invest some time and money into it. I've been talking it through with family and they seem to think I should just go for it and they'll support me as much as they can.

So today was just spent looking at various websites, a lot of googling and collecting information. I don't really want to give too much away, because obviously this is just in the "idea" stage at the moment. But I'm excited all the same, and wanted to share this (even though it is a bit cryptic, sorry!).

Anyway, I've added a couple more new items to the shop today, so please check them out:


Lollipop Brooch by Titchables


Panda Driving A Car Keychain by Titchables

Don't forget, my 3 for 2 offer in my shop will end on Sunday at Midnight!! So if you want a 3rd item completely FREE, then head on over to Titchables right now! :)

Pom Pom Garland

I love pom poms. I love garlands. So I thought about putting them together to create a pom pom garland, genius right? I really love how this came out. The colours are so yummy!



The poms are adjustable so you can have them really far apart or really close together depending on where you want to put it in your home. It's now available at my Etsy shop!
