I never imagined in a million years that I could have an idea in my head for so long, then actually draw it make a pattern, sew it altogether !!! well I did Tuesday was a cracking day, I just thought id share it with you as lots of you have been following my story for quite afew months now, so I just wanted to update you.

My funding came through for my copyrights so this week everything has been submitted and sent off which is amazing for me personally as I never thought this day would come, its so great to look back and see what you have achieved even over just a few months, I like everything done yesterday & pet hate is waiting (giggles) Ive had to learn to be patient.

This will be the finished logo and will be printed on everything and when the paperwork comes back once everything gone through the C will then change to an R ~ Seems alot to do for such a small thing, but its so important as a business to have this and get into the correct classes that you intend to make / sell for your business ~ also shows you MEAN BUSINESS and not just an idea that you might or might not do.

Hence why I'm always happy its a great achievement ~ great coming from a very long line of family businesses too. 

Thank you for your continued support with comments on my blog, twitter and facebook page I love reading your comments xxx

Windows Week in Wigton Cumbria "Toad Hall" invites ©Shellybobbins™

                                                                  Toad Hall Wigton

Windows Week runs every year in Wigton and in the past has just been artists this year artists are all grouped together in the market hall in fabulous displays, other shops in Wigton have given up there window for 2 weeks to give local crafts people a chance to be seen, which I was very honoured to be asked, by Elaine who owns Toad Hall in Wigton. This does remind me of Britain's Next Best Thing With Theo Paphitis from Dragons Den where Libertys of London & Habitat open there doors to some amazing talented people, everyone had to que up & pitch your idea direct to them ! maybe one day with my rag dolls designed & made in cumbria (dream) ~ and about time we had things BRITISH MADE. England has amazing people in it & what a great way to show off local talent by having "Windows Week" x

Ive been sewing for years but after being made redundant for the 3rd time I set up ©Shellybobbins™ after going on a business course & applying for grants to buy an embroidery machine, my prototype rag doll is in the process after 10months of researching, designing, learning all about the the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 that comes into force in July, So in the mean time Ive made other gorgeous gifts, Ive done lots of drawings & some have made it to the pattern stage (giggles) I really didn't know I was actually capable of doing any of this, until I had ago
