Gingerbread Day!

I had the greatest fun today making these cute gingerbread decorations ... and my day was made even more yummy when my lovely husband invited me out to lunch - what a perfect Friday!

Have a lovely weekend x

Our Knitted Bunting Offer

We started 2011 by offering 15% off our signature knitted bunting and this has been a great success - our knitting needles have been clicking away like mad!  With lots of new babies arriving over the last couple of months we've been inspired to add to our bunting selection and the softest cutest pastels and teddy bears will be available very very soon ... here's a quick peek!!

As everyone is (quite rightly) looking after their pennies just now we'll be offering monthly discounts on individual products - SO KEEP LOOKING!

Finally, we're really lucky to receive lots of lovely comments about our products and were so touched by this latest one: "Hi Linda, I have just received my daughters knitted bunting and it's lovely.  I ordered the same for my other two children when they were born.  I think they are a unique way to display their names in their bedrooms and have had lots of comments from friends."  How lovely is that??

And so January is nearly over with it's very British bleak skies but also the first signs that the sleepy bulbs are waking up and the days are getting a little longer - not long till Spring!!
Take care, Linda x

Our Expanding Range of Gorgeous Gifts

We've got so many lovely new gift ideas for you to look at and have had so much fun sourcing them!  Take a few minutes to sit down with a coffee and have a look through our Gifts for Boys and Gifts for Girls sections - we guarantee there'll be something you can't resist for that special little one!

Re-Vamp in the Edenfields Designs Studio!

We're back from a wonderful time with family in snowy Northern Ireland and work has started on re-vamping our studio.  How lovely it feels to de-clutter and re-organise - the rest of the house beckons but I'm having too much fun in the studio!  Plus, I now have some gorgeous baskets and tins for storing the mountains of pretty 'bits' I use in my designs.

I've had a brilliant time collecting some beautiful ribbons, buttons, sparkles and felt in really stunning shades and can't wait to make use of them in the forthcoming weeks - keep watching as new designs will be appearing soon!

HOLIDAY WISHES FROM EDENFIELDS DESIGNS

We've had a really busy time here at Edenfields Designs and my brilliant family have been so supportive whilst we got all your precious Christmas orders out in time for the big day.  How special it feels to know that so many little boys and girls will have opened up a personalised gift made by us!  We hope everyone who follows us has had a truly lovely Christmas and wish you all a safe and happy 2010.

With the weather now warming a little and the snowmen slowly disappearing it's fantastic to make the most of the time off by enjoying long walks and talks with my family in the fresh air.  I shall be making the most of this special time and look forward to designing some gorgeous new pieces for you all throughout the coming year.

Take care everyone,
Linda

Baby Gifts with a Difference!

So now we're back into the school routine and the last few reminders of our 'Indian Summer' are fading! I love this time of year though - all the amazing autumn colours, sounds and smells make me feel like a big kid again. Our fabulous horse chestnut tree is promising a bumper crop of giant conkers this year (if the squirrels don't get them all first!!) and my boys are eagerly awaiting all those beautiful shiny treasures. Plus, our walnut trees and cooking apple trees have now yielded their crops which we have stored away for the coming months - lots of mouthwatering recipes to find!

Meanwhile, life in the Edenfields Designs studio is just as busy and fulfilling. Last weekend was spent out in the sunshine preparing lots of money boxes and I have been sourcing lots of gorgeous bits and bobs to decorate them with. It gives me such pleasure to hear back from my customers on how much they love these little details!

Our personalised bookends range is really popular right now - how great to give a gift that inspires a lifelong love of books! Having said that, I know that a lot of you use them also for DVD's and CD's - such a neat idea.

Please keep checking in on our Blog - it's always nice to find out what we work-at-home mums are up to and to get to know them better. Remember too that a personalised handmade gift says so much about how much you care so why not give a gift to treasure for that forthcoming christening or birthday.

Gingerbread Houses are Yummy!!

I've had so many orders for my gingerbread house items recently.

Check them out - I adore making them! My lovely customers are ordering them as new baby and christening gifts - how special!!

So, here I am sitting in my studio busily working away on these cute gingerbread house bookends when .... thunder crashes and rain lashes down! What is happening to our summer sunshine?

Oh well, at least I can keep on adding sparkles and beading so now it feels as if it's a magical summer's day!
