Last week I had my phone stolen from my work! Very annoying as I had taken photos of lots of new hair accessories to put up in the shop!
Not the best start to the week but I have just returned from a festival which turned it around completely!
I have been working on a few custom orders recently and doing matching garters, unfortunately I have no way to take any pictures at the moment.
This Month I will have a stall at Sands at bleak house for 'GIRLY GARDEN PARTY'
Details are below;
Girlie Garden Party
We will be holding an afternoon tea party with Pampering & Fun on Tuesday 23rd August, 2:00pm - 5:30pm
All inclusive tickets in advance £35.00 to include;

... Also! For one week only there is a 25% discount on everything in store on the Neeksie shop!
www.neeksie.com - Treat yourself!
I've just come back from my holiday and can't stop saying 'Ola'... It has also left the bank balance looking pretty dismal which has actually forced me to be a little more productive and get some sewing done!
I have been creating some new bits for my stall next week, The Craft Guerilla Summer Fair!
I'm really excited about and especially seeing what other talented designers have to offer!
They're pretty cute even if I do say so myself!
They would also make really nice accessories to clip onto clothing or bags!
Tomorrow is my favourite kind of shopping, Fabric shopping! I was really inspired from my holiday by all the amazing and colourful flowers all over the place, so hopefully I can find some fabrics that resemble them.

I have neglected my blog recently and have also just returned from an amazing holiday to Portugal. Lisbon is well worth a visit and has the most amazing architecture.
I have come back to a very busy next two weeks and a few orders which I shipped today..
Next week is my summer fair market stall in Walthemstow... Make sure you visit! - click here for more information --->

There was sun, there was thunder, lightening, hail stones... but eventually the rain stopped and my photoshoot began!
We had a lovely afternoon strolling around a local stables. The horses were a little camera shy but the knickers have finally been captured in their full glory!
A big thanks to my lovely model Elle, Mindy Coe and her photography skills and of course Laura for the hair styling!
Heres a sneaky peek at a few images from todays shoot which are currently being uploaded onto the website!
All though I have been making sales recently. I seem to have hit a brick wall. Having started Neeksie from a hobby, I have had good feedback so far and lots of interest.
I just need to win the lottery so I can make it into something spectacular!
I've spent most of my spare time researching wholesalers for fabrics and elastics so I can offer lovely knickers at a reasonable price.
Most of the UK manufacturers have struggled through the recession, I would love to keep my suppliers in the Uk but it is proving costly!
Me and the calculator are going to have to spend some quality time together.
In the meantime.. Here area few designs of some silkier sets I'm planning on making!
I have just spent the entirety of my evening cutting our knicker and hair bow patterns.... tomorrow evening will be spent sewing them! Cramming in sewing after work has been proving tricky lately.
...If your wandering where you can get your hands on some lovely knickers, look no further. Aside my online shop I have two very exciting events this month.
First Is a ladies pamper evening at sands at bleak house in Woking. Tickets are still available!
Click the image below for more information!
The second, is an evening craft market in Teddington. I have previously posted details.. but here they are again!
I hope you can make it!
I have had so much trouble trying to get hold of bulk amounts of elastic. It is proving impossible. I thought my luck was in when I paid just £10 for a roll but when I got it in the post I was majorly disappointed to see it was practically like thread and had no elasticity whatsoever. Damn.
Either way, I have a small supply and am a busy busy bee! I have a few custom orders which are from up-cycled fabric.
Another is for a swimsuit in my 'Cream Tea' style but for a child. How adorable! :)
But most importantly ... I got to start a new set this evening.. My poor little fingers have taken some abuse this week - I have sewn through my finger twice! Ouch. It's no pleasant.
But here they are 'Summer lovin'... And yes, I did recently watch 'Grease'
Bisous
