I was spoilt with a lovely custom rubber stamp created from one of my illustrations I had drawn especially. I can now use it to add some character filling in the address to the parcels I send out to my lovely customers around the world! I got a chocolate brown ink pad which looks like chocolate, rather perfect coming from Belgium :)
I also got some gorgeous Baker's Twine from this Etsy shop which I'm using to wrap my orders, here is one all ready to send out.
I have just finished this little Bear for a lady in America, she has commissioned it for her little baby granddaughter, so I made her with all the special safety eyes and joints, made of the prettiest peachy Alpaca, delicate floral paw pads and I knitted a little cardigan, just hiding a little felt heart with the girl's initials embroidered on it.
Next week I start on another commission Bear and hope to have a new embroidery pattern all ready to share. I'm also working on some fun spring like Easter Party Invitations, great for Easter Egg Hunts, so many items being created, so do hop back soon. Hugs, Catherine x

OM gosh, where do I start? First of all I will never get my head around the fact that you go for a walk and come across castles like this, breathtaking image by the way and your new bear is just delightful with her little fabric paws! It's all the pretty little touches that you do for your orders that makes them even more special.x
Wishing you the happiest birthday, Catherine!! I'm so glad you were spoiled. Your new bear is such a sweetie. D is in Antwerp and planning to visit some villages and Ghent in the new week. Wishing you a beautiful, spring-y weekend! xo – g

Belated thank you for your kind comments on my blog. I fell of the blogosphere for a while, but I'm now back!
All is so, so wonderful, Catherine! It's such a treat to visit you (and when you visit me, too ;)!).

Hello Catherine, What a special time you must have had on your Birthday, best wishes for the coming year. Visiting a castle must have been so much fun. Your latest bear you have completed will be well loved. Happy days.

That is one lucky little girl... the bear is so beautiful, she's going to be around for so many years :) The castle is breathtaking... I would love to be able to stumble upon something like that ;) Happy Happy Birthday!
Love the new stamp, and what a cute wee girl
Catherine - I've only just spotted the stamp and I LOVE it. It's really, really nice. Gosh there is so much stuff we can do isn't there - to create gorgeous little extras to the things we do.
Love the Bakers Twine too. I am wondering about something like that too so am off to follow the link...
Love Charlotte
