Wine Glass Coasters/Holders!

I should probably start by saying that this pattern was given to me by one of my mummy's lovely friends! But that I think its possibly one of the best ideas I have ever seen in my life. Seriously forget the tv, everyone needs these in their life.

Now one thing I've noticed since I've grownup (yes I have grown up I have the child to prove it) is that adults love wine! you wanna know what adults also like? Stealing each other drinks by "accident"....

"oh I'm sorry I down your full glass of wonderful tasting rose, that definitely had your lipstick marks on..... I must have thought it was mine! I'm sure there's still some of that red that tastes like paint stripper left."

Yeah adults are crafty..

Adults also seem to hate coasters, not at first! The first glass its all where are your coasters isn't your home lovely but after that second glass kicks in the very idea of coasters becomes foreign.

which is why these bad boys are so awesome! not only do they help you to distinguish between who's drink its who's! they also eliminate water rings! They are basically magic!


See they just hook onto the bottom of your glass!


They travel with your glass!


and if you make them all different, everyone know who's glass is who's!


Here's a few that are up for individual sale on my etsy page!


And here's a Christmas set I've made as an order! (these are all a little but different so you can tell who's wine is who's!


But I also do full matching sets, this particular bunch is plain red!

And the best part these can be used as regular coasters too! (that's not to say that most men wont just plonk their beer can down on the first available surface!)

Much Love

The best laid plans....

Okay so the plan was to finish my delphine skirt today, take a few gawky photos of me in it and then sit down and relax whilst congratulating myself on a job well done. 

That didn't happen, I encountered some ahem, problems.

For starters this happened


Yes folks that a right side to WRONG side seam , so that had to be unpicked.

Then I had to improvise my zip a bit becuase I couldn't be bothered to go out and buy and invisible one, so I just used what I had. And to make matters worse my zipper foot is missing in action!


I'm neatly stitching it down so it becomes invisible! 

I also had to take time out today to complete two orders! 


These are a set of my floating wine glass coasters (I'll go into detail about these tommorrow) 


Don't you just love the packaging though!!!! Super cute! 

Right I'm off for a well earned rest! Bashing out two orders in one night isn't easy!

Much love

Frankie
