We've somehow arrived in the middle of October!   Drum roll......some of the Christmas Stock is now available to buy on the website.  More lines will be added over the coming weeks.  

There are new fabric ranges  added to the mini bunting boards too and lots more fabric options and products are in the pipe line.

Many customers it would appear have already begun their Christmas shopping so don't forget to order any personalised items early.

New lines are often announced on Facebook so if you are a Facebook user please follow me.

Had a great time at Southwell Ploughing Match and Show​ but was too busy to post any pics!  Busy week this week with orders and new product launches (hopefully!!).  This coming weekend is another charity event on Saturday and then Sunday I'm at Eastwood Hall for the Eastwood Festival, lets hope this lovely autumn weather continues!

Hello, I haven't blogged for sometime, it's a long story......busy with orders, and a cold, the coughing from which caused me to pull a muscle in my back! But I'm on the mend. I'll be supporting a MacMillan coffee morning at The John Fretwell Centre tomorrow, so if you're local please pop down for coffee cake and take a look at some lovely stalls. Then Saturday it's the Southwell Ploughing Match and Show, one of my favourite events. In the coming weeks my new products will be making their way to the website and so too will the Christmas range. Thank you to the customers that have sent me lovely feedback recently, it's made a difficult few weeks better! :)

Teacher Gifts, Father's Day Gifts .......and a Carnival

Is it really Monday already?  It's father's day next Sunday and I'll be exhibiting some of my Father's Day gifts at Arnold Carnival this weekend.  My hubby will be doing the Great Notts Bike Ride for MacMillan so I hope the weather is good to the both of us.

It's approaching the end of the school year too so Teachers gifts are on the Fabric Bug work table this week.  

Heading towards busy weekends with events, starting with Arnold Carnival, a favourite of mine and I'll be alongside Kirsty of Kirsty's Contemporary Cards, so they'll be a few giggles too :)

From Dressing Gowns .........to Horses!

There's been a flurry of new makes at Bug HQ and they're gradually making there way to the website.

One of my favourite items are the new Dressing Gowns for tots.  A snuggly fleece dressing gown perfect for night time snuggles and lazy morning.  Avialable in sizes from 3 months to 2 years,

For lazy mornings too, what about a bit of pampering for Mum.  The new pamper kits make a lovely token gift.  Available in two sizes they contain a personalised flannel, and nail kit.  The larger kits are roomier enabling you to add more treats.  These are not just for Mums either, they're a great gift for Teachers, or for Spa trips.   

Personalised soft toys are always popular too, and Horses with a personalised bandana have been a popular addition to the range.

There are more new ranges coming to the website soon too so please keep checking and subscribe for the updates to receive the emails.

I'm pleased to announce that you can now purchase The Fabric Bug products at Abbeyhead Crafts in Sutton In Ashfield. It is a delightful little gift shop in the market place (formerly Molly Moo's). It stocks other personalised handmade gifts as well as a variety of unusual gifts for every occasion. Michelle and Sally are a wonderful team and as well as stocking our products are happy to take orders for personalised products that can be collected from the shop. I can personally recommend their other wares too!! smile emoticon Please stop by if you are in the area and support a lovely local business.

Busy Spring Bee!

The week has already been busy and it's only Monday!  I have some exciting news to share later in the week regarding a new outlet where you can purchase Fabric Bug products.

The themed fleece blankets are now available to buy online. The flannels still prove to be the most popular product and the photo's and colour options have now been updated on the website.

There is a new Tractor themed bunting board, and more fabrics will be added to that range shortly.

I'm looking forward to getting up to date so that I can get some new lines into production too, so please follow my blog and facebook to see more.

I will also be gearing up to Portland College in May, and Arnold Carnival in June, other events are being booked too so check my 'Events' tab on the website to see where the Fabric Bug is next!

From Bug HQ x

Well it may seem that I've been a little quiet on here.  Not had the best start to the year but gradually getting back on track. I've been concentrating on orders but still have lots of new products in the pipeline.  I hope to have new lines added to the website soon, including this little fellow:

New Year and a chance to catch up following my busiest Christmas season ever!  Behind the scenes I'm catching up on the admin, and preparing lists, lists and more lists. I have new fabrics that I'm keen to use and lots of idea's for new products.  Customers seem to have had a few new arrivals this year too, as the baby gifts seem to be popular at the moment, especially the snuggle blankets and sleepsuits.

The Events calendar is building too, starting with a new local event at the Black Bull on Saturday 7th February, followed by a few pamper evenings so take a look at the events tab and come and see me if you are able,
