Gingiber Draconis Crafts

We've been practicing our calligraphy this last week and its improving with each envelope ✉️ 😁 . We're working hard to get our save the dates ready to send on their way. Time sure does fly by when you have a deadline! 🕒

What is something your proud of accomplishing recently?

We are very happy to have supported who last friday raised money for the charity at their school leavers Festival. Along with many other people and companies we donated to their raffle. We can't wait to find out who the lucky winner was and we hope they enjoy their gift card 💳 😁

Well done to everyone that got their A levels back today. Gingi got A* in fire breathing 🔥, B in princess protection 👑 and C- in flying 🐉, but I suppose that's what happens when you fly into the instructor!

Keep an eye out for new listings coming soon to Etsy!! This lovely customisable map print will be available for purchase in a variety of styles, be that for a graduate, marriage or other important events.

Let us know what moment you would most like to have framed in the comments below.

Can you tell what it is yet?... A mess is not the correct answer ;)

Exciting stuff for us, we finally have our own home, furniture is now up and only a few boxes left to unpack. Although the craft room was one of the first rooms to be set up! Yes a full attic space of a craft room, we can't wait to start some new projects, so keep your eyes peeled.

Why yes I am still procrastinating on moving house how could you tell...?

First test run of a new product, bullet journal tabs. So far sizing needs altering and the printer needs cleaning to prevent smudging. Also... After we've moved I will be attempting a laminated layer on them to help make them last longer.

Let us know what new items you want to see after we've moved!!

We're still in the midst of moving house but procrastination beats out and now I'm in the middle of making a waffle blanket surrounded by empty boxes...

It's been a long time coming but we've finally shipped our first set of handwoven placemats! This is the "cool hue" set, they also come in "purple paradise" and "mixed madness". They're not currently in our stores due to our house move but if you would like some making and don't mind waiting we can put you on our wait list, just drop us a dm 😁

Offt that was a long project. Hey guys 12 placemats all finished ready to be packeged and sent off to their new owners. These placemats have been a long time in the making taking nearly 4 months to make, what projects have you undertaken that have taken much longer then intended?

Wedding decor is well under way with our book garlands getting made. The first test run takes pride of place alongside pompom garlands!

Todays main goal was to work on my save the date designs for 2hours. Instead distractions included job hunting, house searching, Facebook scrolling and joining of uni groups, finally ending with cleaning out the emails!

Well it was a productive day and I did work on my main goal... Ya win some lose some and sometimes meet it part way 🤷‍♀️

Today I made the most of the sunshine before the next 17hr shift and I'm glad I did. Don't forget it's important to look after yourself people!

Also don't go skipping the sunscreen just for a tan your skin will thank you later! ☀ 🧢

Hey yes it's us! We're still here plodding through life just like anyone else. With restrictions eased we headed to Scotland to visit our family, ask some important questions, check out our Scotland wedding venue in person and attempt to relax! Phew that's a lot.. But that's not it yet, we've finished placements, accepted uni offers, house hunted for a new home and planned a large portion of our wedding. Not to mention the good old job of bar work and healthcare, so yea we've been busy.

Upon starting this business I gave myself a strict deadline of posting EVERYDAY... There's only me holding myself to that, so not posting often has been a challenge in itself. The past 3 weeks have been an eye opener on prioritising what is important to me. Therefore, I won't apologise for taking time away from the business as it was time well spent!

So what have you guys been up to whilst with been away? 😁 ♥

Yesterday was full of grey skies and rain, so we took the time to bring some colour into the day. Whilst this drawing of Ben the working sheepdog was for another project it also made for a great colouring in page. Ben is now a rainbow dog, just like he deserves 🌈

Keep an eye out to find out what the drawing was originally made for!

This is the first book page rose trial run. The book used was a old broken and torn book from a charity shop. Can anyone guess the title?

This single paper flower will hopefully soon have some friends to join in a lovely bouquet! We can't wait to see the finished product.

We may not be posting as often but we're still here, still working and still making improvements. Be that improvements for the business or our own personal lives!

University chosen, making wedding decisions, getting to the end of placement and Prepping for our house move. Everything is slowly coming together and the buisness isn't without its own improvements either!

We've got a swanky new look table (meaning I get my lovely large craft table back finally!) AND we've added treddles to the loom too! For those of you who don't know what that is, it's fancy foot peddles to make it easy to swap the shafts. End story is, it'll be easier and faster to get our woven crafts out!

With restrictions easing we'll be headed to check out our wedding venue next month! 💒 So it's been a planning by the riverside kind of day 😁

Messy rooms are a sign of productive brains... Or at least that's what I tell myself when i find old half finished crafts when tidying!
