Handmade Monday - Mobile And Ipod Cases


I haven't made any recent updates to Handmade Monday but this week I am organised! Please visit Wendy's page at 1st Unique Gifts to discover wonderful blogs and exciting products from other crafters.

This week I have turned my hand to some mobile/Ipod cases. They are large enough to comfortably fit your blackberry,I-phone and I-pod although if you require an alternative size I can do that for you :)

So here's a peak at some of the ones I've just listed:

Liquorice Allsorts mobile sock £5
Cheetah Fever mobile sock £5
     
Zebra Safari mobile sock £5













The mobile socks are fully lined and have a small opening at the top for you to slip your mobile/Ipod into.

Referee mobile phone case £10
    
Vintage floral mobile case £10

The cases above, are made with an added flap, which has a magnetic nickel fasten.

If you like these, or for a wider selection please visit ZukieStyle online. More will be added over the coming week.
I shall be aiming some towards Father's Day also, these will be similar to the referee design in various football colours.

For all the latest news and updates, do follow me on Twitter and Facebook if you have the time :)

That's it for this week. Thank you for reading xx

Wow Thank you - Now Live

ZukieStyle is now part of the online boutique Wow Thank you. This lovely site hopes to promote UK craft and design. The site is very new so please do go take a look at what is on there. I'm sure you can find that special gift for whatever the occasion and help support craftsmanship rather than following the crowds and buying on the high street.

This past week I had the Elsham Hall fair, which unfortunately didn't go too well! There weren't a lot of people looking at the fair to be honest and there were a lot of unhappy traders!  I have a Ladie's race day this Saturday at Nottingham race course which I'm hoping will be an improvement! There are crowds in their thousands that gather at these events and knowing us Women, they are usually on the prowel to spend some cash! So fingers crossed :)

I have made a few new bits too, in honour of the Royal Wedding and hopefully to show your patriotic side I made a Union Jack Tote bag and a doggy bandana to match.

British Pride Mini Tote Bag £10

British Pride Dog Bandana From £3

Various Country's flags will also soon be added so do keep your eyes peeled for yours!

And then this cheeky little collar, if you are a fan of Disney (especially Toy Story) this is the collar for your pooch!




Toy Story Handmade Dog Collar From £12

That's it for now, the cat safety buckles are on order and they will arrive shortly so you will be seeing the cat collars very soon!

Thanks again for popping by

Last week and this week I have been preparing for the Easter Fair at Elsham Hall, in Brigg. If you are local do come along, there will be a great atmosphere and lots to do!

Now onto Tote bags. I find that especilly when I'm shoppping (essential or non-essential items) I always need an extra holdal to carry my new purchases. There's nothing worse than a boring bag!
So, may I introduce the new summer tote collection to ZukieStyle. Here is a selection, but there are plenty more on the site. The adult totes are priced at £10 each. They are fun and also environmentally friendly! No more awful plastic bags

Handmade Monday gives you the chance to have a peaek at what other crafters have been developing over the past week, do pop by and have a look. You can access this week's handmade Monday's through Wendy's blog at 1st Unique Gifts

This week I have started to create some children's hair accessories, All new to me, but I thought I'd have a go as I have a fair Easter weekend so would like some smaller items to have on my stall.
These were made with various ribbon and a stretchy elastic which girls normally use to tie their hair. I have called these the genius title ahem.... 'Ribbon Hair Ties'
I will also be creating bows on clips, and other various small lovelies.

These new hair ties can be made to order in a variety of colours, in particular for themes if you or your little one are part of a team i.e Cheerleading/Dance related sports then these would go down a treat.

And.....They are only £5!!!!!! This includes postage and packing too - wow!!!!
I hope you like them :)

Vintage Tea Party ribbon hair tie

Gold Spot ribbon hair tie

Red Polka ribbon hair tie
These ribbon hair ties are all unique and there is only one of each available due to the different types of ribbons attached, if you would like to purchase one please visit the children's hair accessory page on ZukieStyle
They are also suitable for grown ups! Go on, treat yourself for the summer ;0)
