Much 'tweedieness'

I've been really busy this week, or at least feel like I have been! Tweaking the design/packaging of the mystery 'egg-shaped' parcel has taken up much of my time, and in between trying to make some cheap and cheerful items for craft-fairs. I made up some of these little lavender pouches and fun flower brooches - after deliberating about how to package them, I decided to attach them to my business cards.

I was rather dissapointed with the cards when I got them, although it's the same design I've had for a while, but they are difficult to read as I chose a matt finish - I'm determined to use them up though! I think they look quite nice with the 'tweedie' gifts! Nice for people to be able to see and touch the tweed, rather than having them in cellophane wrapping (which I quite often use, especially for shop/website items, as protective covering)

I was going to reveal the mystery package this weekend, but I think it deserves its very own post, so will have to wait a little longer. Instead, here's 'Little S' beaming after a fun day at his school sports day - he was delighted with all his badges! His little face says it all :)

Please excuse whatever junk seems to be in the background of the pic - much 'tweedieness' also results in much 'messiness'!! I'd better go and sort out all the 'messiness' now as it's hubby's big 50 birthday on Monday - that actually can't quite be right, as I'm far too young to be married to someone that old - ouch!! :)

We're having a simple family celebration at home, which is what he wants, and we're all looking forward to it, so off to prepare for banners and balloons and cake, and the like :) Perhaps a little 'shampers' too!

Cheerio an Drasda :)

Your son is so cute! Although I'm not sure this is the word an eight-year-old is happy to be described with... I hope you had a lovely family celebration (isn't it funny, this is exactly how my husband likes to celebrate his birthdays as well), and many many happy returns to your hubby!

Oh lordy, I could eat those tweedy lavender pouches. I just love tweed - desperate to get a tweedy look in some of our OriginalStitch products, if only we came across second-hand bits more often.
What a love pic of your boy - there's a grin and a half!
