Tissy ‘n Bob Hand made pretty things Hi there, and welcome to Elsie's Emporium. Those who know me may wonder why Elsie's Emporium? Well, my initials are L.C, hence Elsie.

Crafting, in many forms, is one of my passions and you'll see hand made cards, jewellery and all sorts of hand painted boxes, frames etc here. Hope you like what you see. I'd love to hear from you with any comments or suggestions, so please like and share so I can get to as many people as possible. Thank you

Challenged myself with a different style of patchwork and made bedside table runners with waterproof backing for water, coffee etc. very pleased, next onto a bigger project 😊

Keelyn made her first patchwork cushion… with a little help from Nana as to how, but the sewing was all her own😍

This has to be my most ambitious project to date… Keelyn gave me a broken school bag and asked if i could mend it. Fool that I am I offered to make a new one instead - like the old one but a bit stronger (hopefully). So I took the old bag apart and made a pattern then wrestled it under the sewing machine and it sat almost finished for weeks as I wasn’t entirely happy with it. Then Keelyn saw it and liked it so I was encouraged to finish it but told her I wanted to make changes so it didn’t LOOK like something her Nana had made, and she said it already didn’t (further encouraged 🥰) so after a couple of tweeks and three hours sewing) this is the finished result. Lets hope it stands up to the challenge. 😊

So nearly finished but I’ve run out of black thread, not happy with the grey thread and the handles need re-doing to make them stronger 🙁

Ready to start again 😊

Keelyn needed a new school bag so I’m making a stronger one, with padding so she can carry her chrome book. It was going so well … until I realised I was making a skirt instead of a bag 🤦🏼‍♀️ A bit of unpicking tomorrow I think

“Nana do you think you could mend my bag?” Mmmm how about I try and make a new one the same but actually big enough to ram your pe kit into without breaking the handles 😂. Taken it apart to get my pattern so here goes …

A big thank you to those of you who came out in the awful wind yesterday (thankfully not too much rain in Frinton) to support us all at Frinton Victorian Christmas Fayre. I really enjoyed meeting and talking to you all and was blown away by all your lovely compliments. I was a little nervous as it was my first venture out with my makes, but now I’m buzzing for the next one… but I’ve got nothing else booked. I should have had more confidence in myself. I WILL get my website up for those if you who took a card, but please get in touch if you want anything made in the meantime

Well I’m pleased with today’s craft fair, despite the weather there was a steady stream of visitors and sales were around what I’d decided I’d be happy with plus several people took a card and said they may get in touch to have a shade made as they are or will be decorating soon so 🤞. Wishing I’d had the confidence to book more now
