New Pageboy thank you plaque

After alot of requests for a pageboy thank you plaque to match the bridesmaid & Flowergirl plaque,  here it is. For some reason I do find it difficult to make boys from fimo maybe its years of making fairies so I hope i've done okay.


I've used an oblong plaque in pale blue. I can change the wording for Usher, Best Man, Father of the bride etc. But if you do have any other message I can add this for you.

Will soon be available on my website Gifts-r-us.com under Wedding Gifts

Blast from the past

Had a really lovely day yesterday, after reading a post on a forum about handmade buttons I was suddenly taken back 20 plus years to when I first started working in Cardiff in a little shop (and I mean a really small shop) called Claire Grove Buttons. I think I was about 16 but was given the chance to do what I loved being creative. Claire the owner made buttons from fimo and back in those days the fimo was rock hard so wasn't the easiest clay to use but the whole process of making the buttons like sticks of rock that you buy on holiday and getting the most fascinating designs it was so clever. The shop also sold Jewellery finding and beads, this was my favorite job sorting them out, making jewellery to sell and tidying up at the end of the day.

Working here I would say gave me the inspiration to start running my own business, you don't need to have a huge empire to have a successful business just the love of doing it is enough.
I'm also glad to see that the shop is still there and proves that the dream I was chasing and striving for can be a lasting one.

New Clock




I'm pleased to say at long last I have finally finished my daughters new bedroom clock which I'm really pleased with. With lots of help from Emily designing it, I've decided to add it to my website and hopefully get some positive feed back.

We both wanted something colourful that would stand out and add a feature to a blank wall. The individual numbers are painted in the colours she has on her bed covers and wall paper.

Emily is very excited that she now has her clock but has also designed a product for Mummy's website. You can find it here
Price £25.99
I hope you like it? I will be adding pictures for a boys clock soon

They have a rustic look with the nature and texture of the wooden showing through the acrylic paint. Also the new font style makes these letters look amazing feature to any wall.

These letters are all lowercase the max height is 22cms tall (all letters are sold by the height of the capital letters) they are £8 per letter
