And one for the boys…

Union jack pocket beanbag
One for the boys

My last post before Christmas – another order for beanbags, but this time for two boys. They have chosen union jack pockets which were fiddly to make but look really good. Again, it’s made from indigo blue denim and the stitching is a pale blue (the other one is red so that they can tell them apart). The photo isn’t brilliant I’m afraid; I should’ve asked my boys to be models but they’re out at the moment. I’ll have to get some better ones and put them on my folksy shop in the New Year.

Well, merry Christmas everyone! Thanks for stopping by and thank you to anyone who has ordered from me over the last few months since I started gilhoolie. I’ve got a really good feeling about 2012 and nine screen-printed lampshades to make already for a gallery in Leeds, more on that another time… For now all I want to do is turn on the Christmas tree lights, make mince pies and drink mulled wine… ho ho ho!

A bit late for Wills and Kate…

Union jack
Union jack - but what for?

I’ve been making union jacks this week, amongst other things. Better not tell you what they’re for as it’s a Christmas order but I’ll put a proper photo of the finished item on here soon. It’s just a shame I’m a bit late for the Royal wedding! As I don’t have time to tell you how I did it, here’s a link to the instructions I used and a lovely blog by Cherry Menlove.

Must get on, lots of orders to get on with… back soon…
