Share the love and win!!



Hey lovely floaty people! As it transpires that even sharing  picture on FB will be likely to get our page deleted by the governers, instead to enter our giveaway just please leave me a comment on this blog as to what you fancy winning and why and you'll be entered into the draw when we hit 2600 likers.
If you choose to tell your friends about the blog and the LFCC facebook page at www.facebook.com/littlefloatingcraftco that's fab but not necessary for your entry to count and should be considered completely your choice and unrelated to this giveaway! Ok... sorted....

So what's up for grabs?  Well, you can take your pic of any LFCC creations up to a value of £15. That could be a piece of jewellery, a textile creation, or perhaps something created just for you. And if the thing you choose is priced at less than £15 then keep choosing til you hit that figure! As per the voucher above though, this does include P&P!

I really appreciate all the support of my floaty crew so please do get involved in this opportunity for me to give something back!

More distress! So happy!

I was so pleased with my first needlebook made in the style of my vintage distressed cards that I spent yesterday sewing and made some more!






This one is listed on Folksy now!










I think this style will work really well as makeup bags, and one lovely facebook lady said that she fancied a knitting needle case in this style!

Watch this space!

Distressed? I hope so!!

I really love my distressed vintage style cardcrafts and wanted to transfer that kind of imagery on to the fabric I am working with.  I like to look around my local waterfront antique shop and find things that still work perfectly for their intended use, but you KNOW that they've had a life, that they've been loved. So, to give my handstitched work that kind of feel I had a bit of a play, and I am so pleased with the finished product.



This gorgeous little needlebook is very simple at first glance but contains different layers, handprinted fabric both inside and out, with gentle distressing on the edges, and gorgeous hand printed pages to store the needles, and a handmade crystal tag on the spine.



There will definately be more to follow in this style - some darker, some romantic and whimsical like this one. I will also be including my own photographic images transfered to fabric as I have with other pieces so watch out for those!

You can find this little gem in my folksy shop here: http://www.folksy.com/items/2018957-Needle-Book?shop=yes

Hope you like my little creation!
