Milly Moo Towers

I have a HUGE confession to make......I have done NO sewing since last week!!!!!!


I'm soooooo ashamed (hanging head in shame as I type).  My only (very poor) excuse is that I have been laid up for a few days.  BUT, back to fighting fit and am now off work fir two days so Milly Moo Towers beckons :-)

Just one thing though........I REALLY need to gave a spring clean of Milly Moo Towers do I can really get on :-)

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend xx

Sorry for the delay.....

Hi folks..

Sorry that I've been AWOL for a few days.

It's been a hugely successful week at the kennels this week.......FOUR dogs rehomed !!!  That's just so amazing :-)  One of the dogs had been with us for 5 years !!!!!  So thrilled for them all.  It really is a privilege to be a part of rescue work..................albeit very stressful at times too.

Just wanted to keep you all posted on my progress with the fabric artwork.  Look at it now....nearly finished !!!!


Hopefully, the next picture will be of it fully completed :-)  I'm so thrilled with how it has turned out.....and I have four more orders to be getting on with too.  From just £60, I can create a bespoke artwork for you or someone else.

Picture perfect....

This is my current project.......producing fabric artwork from a photograph.  All you need to do is provide me with a good, clear photograph of your pet and I do the rest.....

This is such a therapeutic form of artwork....lots of fiddly cutting and stitching, but so relaxing and enjoyable :-)  I hope you agree that the results are worth it :-)

I ought to confess that in my 'day' job (for three days a week), I work at a rescue and boarding kennels.  We house a number of dogs and cats for a number of animal charities.  One of these charities is Rottweiler Welfare Association (RWA).  As the charity doesn't receive any form of government funding, they rely on the generosity of their supporters....of which I am one.  I thought that I would produce this artwork for RWA so they could auction/sell it as they see fit to raise more money to add to the pot :-)

Work in progress........

A few piccies...

Hi all....

I thought I ought to post piccies of some of the projects I've been working on in the last few months.....
This is a beautiful quilt that I am working on for my mum.  I ought to say, this is Mk II.........why?.......because my mum and dad only went and redecorated partway through Mk I and the colour palette was completely wrong then !!!
 

Fabric postcards are a great alternative to standard, unexciting greetings cards........all with the personal touch.  They don't have to be seasonal, they can just be decorative :-)

A new blog is born !!!

Oh crumbs, now I've gone and done it.  I thought it would be a good idea to create a craftilicious blog..................hmmmm..............not so sure it's such a good idea for a bit of a technophobe like myself !!

Oh well, onwards and upwards....

Welcome to Milly Moo Designs blog, where I hope to keep you all updated on the happenings at Milly Moo Towers.  Never had a blog before, so not too sure what people want to know.  I guess it will be a bit of an organic process that will develop over time :-)  So basically, bear with me as I navigate my way around the neverending world of blogging.  I hope you will find it both an interesting and entertaining journey.........
