Doodlebug's Handmade

Working on some Autumn pumpkin cards this weekend 🍂 🎃 🧡 Hope everyone has a lovely couple if days whatever you are up to x

Completed a lovely large order for a lady running a yoga retreat at the end of September.

It was a lot of work as they are all hand embroidered but so satisfying to see them altogether when they were all ready as I never have this kind of volume stocked x

💙🌱💜

Had a lovely time at my Boreham Craft Fair Saturday, we were very lucky the weather held as it's feeling wet and distinctly Autumnal now 🍂

Here are some new fabric headbands I've been making to start off the week, love these fabrics for this season x

All set up for today's fair, lots of lovely stalls if you're local pop along and say hi! x

🌟 I made Star Seller on Etsy for September. The small volumes I make and sell mean this doesn't happen very often, so I'm very pleased with this little achievement x 🌟

Or check out my shelf in The Art Place in the Meadows Shopping Centre, Chelmsford!

Morning! Sadly my week off has come to an end, had a lovely chilled time with the hubby and kitties, definitely what I needed to recharge.

Now back to work and prepping for some Autumn craft fairs, then I need to start thinking about the best holiday of the year (I won't mention the C word yet...)

Have a fab week everyone xx

🍂 Looking to Autumn as the holidays start coming to a close and I've got lots of seasonal cards available for all your autumnal celebrations x🍂

The next date in the diary 🗓

Coming up in a couple of weeks!

I always have such fun at events here, and everyone is always so lovely about by little stall.

Already hoping for sunshine ☀️ and looking forward to a lovely day out with my crafts x

Happy Bank Holiday Weekend for those of you in the UK! 💜

Loving all the lavender still flowering at the moment so just leaving this here to help cheer up everyone's feed x

Popped in to my shelf today lots of lovely bits available, of course 😉 from me, but also so much local handmade talent on show.

This is an amazing place to pick up unusual gifts and you know every purchase makes a huge difference to real people and supports our local economy!

Some of my personal favourites in the shop to seek out 🧡




For other Essex locals, what are your recommendations to check out? Xx

Finally getting round to listing all the options for these gorgeous little cases, these can be used as glasses cases but a lady at a recent fair got one to pop her phone in so it's multi-use! 😊 This fabric is a particular favourite of mine 💛 x

Now available on Etsy

Morning! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend 🧡

As we are hurtling through August thoughts are turning to Autumn vibes, hope you like this new hairclip design!

Xx

Still working mainly on stocking up my cards as I've been running very low, been making these Summer beauties today.

Also popped into to restock my shelf ( #57), I've got some new bits and pieces (heart tote bags are back!) as well as fully stocked up again on embroidered cards, keyrings, hairclips etc.

Do pop in and take a peek if you're local!

Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday 💛 x

How is it Monday already?!

Still working hard on restocking cards, this one is always a firm favourite with my customers, especially at this time of year.
Head to the link in my bio to buy on Etsy 🧡

Also some pictures for you of Camden Lock and the market from Saturday's adventure into London, we even brought some sunshine with us x

Yay it's finally the weekend! Hope everyone has fun plans? I'm off to London today, to hopefully get some sun by the river and maybe some creative inspiration.

Another glasses case to show you today, I love this fabric 🐝 x

New hair clip design 💜🌿🩵

I'm busy making the most of a slightly slower pace over the Summer to work on some new ideas I've had rattling around in my brain for a while 😊 x

Stocking up on cards after the fair yesterday, lots of sewing to do. 🌼

🧡💛❤️🩷

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! x

Lovely day at Ingatestone Summer Show today, thank you to for inviting me and everyone who came along!

Only one short rain shower, so the weather didn't ruin the day! Exhausted now, I may require 🍷 + 😴

Xx

New glasses case designs ready for the weekend (I'll list on next week as well 😀).

I love honeysuckle, we had a gorgeous climber in our back garden when I was growing up x

Working on some scrunchy hairclips for the weekend x

☀️☀️☀️ Come on sunshine, support local community spirit & small local businesses ☀️☀️☀️

*me obsessively checking the weather updates for Saturday... xx

Happy Monday!

More new hairclip designs, this one has a more late Summer/Autumn vibe to match the weather and is available on Etsy or at my stall on Saturday at Ingatestone 🌻

Have a lovely week, whatever you're up to x

Some dates for the diary! 📅

I've been very busy making up lovely things for these upcoming markets, so if you're local do pop along, say hi and support myself and other lovely local crafts people 🧡 we'd be thrilled to see you.

Whatever you're up to have a lovely Summer and help me in wishing for some good weather (especially in Ingatestone on Saturday) ☀️

With the summer decidedly changeable at the moment, I'm popping these floral clips on my grid to bring some sunshine on a dreary Monday.
🩷 ☀️ 🌸
Have a fab week all! xx
