I’m really quite pleased with these new artwork hangers for children:

They consist of a plaque, measuring approx 15cm x 7cm, two wooden pegs, a double wire hanger and a fabric scrap embellishment.  Oh, and the important bit: your child’s name and a little picture.

I’ve updated them from the previous design.  They now feature larger, sturdier pegs.  The pictures are also updated, and you can personalise the picture by hair colour and skin colour.  If there’s anything else you’d like to change about the picture, we’ll be more than happy to accommodate you: glasses? wheelchair? You name it, we’ll do our best!!

To get hold of yours, visit the website: http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/artworkpeghangers.html - they are just £6.99 each, plus a small postage charge.  While the postal strikes are happening, we’ll try to avoid strike days and will post out first class at no extra charge.

There’s been quite a bit of interest in my cupcake clocks.  Here’s a girly pink one, this time with the addition of numbers and a sprinkling of hundreds and thousands on that yummy icing!!

I said yesterday that I love customers’ ideas sometimes.  This is one I mentioned briefly yesterday.  I am working on a clock at the moment for a customer.  It is to give to the teachers at a school, for them to put in their staff room.  I think it’s a lovely idea, as it acknowledges all the teachers at the school, which is a great idea when a child is leaving a school and moving on.

This is where I’m up to:

The website is about to be published.  Really.

I got very very excited when I realised all the fab things I could do with my fairly basic PayPal account.  Like get people to fill in personalised order details.  You’d've thought I’d discovered the key to world peace or something.   I got a bit carried away with it before I’d read up on it and messed all the postage costs up.

So each and every PayPal button I’ve created needs a damn good editing.   What fun.

Anyway, while I’m editing away, bored out of my admittedly tiny brain, here is a sneaky preview of a little offering from the new site:

Look what the cat ddragged in mirror

I can see this mirror being just the thing for a bad hair day!

I have now got round to painting some goodies for 1st Unique Gifts, after far too much painting walls and boring stuff like that.  So I thought I would show off two cute little piggy banks, which can be personalised with their adopted parents’ names.
