Well, I've been missing for a while, and it's for good reason. Things have been a-changing!

I am very excited to announce that I have moved into unit 2 at Chilvers Coton Craft Centre in Nuneaton #excited

Not work related in the slightest but George & I wanted to wish you all a #HappyValentinesDay ❤ George has wrapped up a little something for his girlfriend Dorito the water dog! Hopefully you have told someone you love how much they mean to you today, even if it's just your pet!

I have just sent all the marketing materials to the printer ready for @SpringAutFair next week, which meant a promo shot of these dudes. I just love how they look like a tiny little boy band! All of the new dog designs will be joining the crew for their first trade show outing

Just stretching out the last bit of feastive cheer today by making this specially requested order. A winter lodge stocking, to match one of our winter lodge cushions, & a linen snap purse embroidered with a little robin. Here's to a nice relaxing weekend everyone 😘

@waggytails2 Thank you @waggytails2 😍

[Kate Sproston Design @KSprostonDesign]

Sshhh. Nobody make any sudden movements 🙈 I've just about managed to turn the embroidery machines on to ease myself back into work mode. I know it's bank holiday today but I may be sneaking off to London for a few days tomorrow so I thought I had better check if I can still sew!

Going into November on a high as our reusable Christmas crackers are part of the Etsy Editor Picks. A big thank you to @Etsy & to all our customers. Feeling pretty proud today! 😊 #etsy #etsyuk #etsyshop #etsyseller #reusablechristmas #ecofriendlygifts #ecofriendlydesign

No prizes for guessing what's on the sewing machine today! Oh, and did you know that all our stocking can be purchased with a name tag to make them extra special?

I have been making a lot of these little Xmas decorations this week. It's made a nice break from crackers, plus you can do the hand sewing in front of the TV (but only whilst watching something spooky at it's October & I'm not fully invested in the feastive season just yet!)

[Kate Sproston Design @KSprostonDesign]

Sent a big batch of these beauties out yesterday, so if you placed a pre-order through the website your woodland crackers are on their way 🥳 I also have a nice big wholesale order to fulfill, so I may be going a bit crackers this weekend! #ecofriendly #ecofriendlychristmas

[Kate Sproston Design @KSprostonDesign]

I just wanted to say a quick thank you for all the woodland cracker pre-orders. They are in the making as we speak. If you fancy your own set, delivery will be mid October. That leaves plenty of time to find some lovely gifts to fill them with

I have had quite a few messages recently asking when the Woodland Reusable Christmas crackers will be back in stock. Well I have just collected a big batch from the embroiderers, so they are now available for pre order over on the website. Delivery mid October (if not before 🤞)

[Kate Sproston Design @KSprostonDesign]

So it's #100tilchristmas, & you can definitely tell it's on customers minds. It's also the start of my busy season & I know I'm going to be putting some serious hours in to fulfill orders. My mug feels highly appropriate for my afternoon coffee!

Sent a couple of these cheeky chaps off to Denmark today "sikker rejse" my little friends! I feel like I spent most of the summer trying to understand HS codes, IOSS numbers and export tax? Any other business owners got their head around it yet? #doglovergifts #handmadegifts
