Handmade Gift Tags
for
MJT Hand Knits
Hello everyone...
The sun has definitely disappeared around here!
I hope you are having some better weather in your parts...
I have had so much trouble taking my photos this week
....my camera has been constantly by my side
waiting for any possibility of catching a few images...
and those moments have been very fleeting!
~~~
I thought you might like to see these little sets of handmade gift tags
I have designed for MJT creations....
A mini version of our tearoom from one of my illustrations
 complete with bunting, 'OPEN' sign,' Ice Cream for Sale' stand,
hanging basket and candy pole...
and available soon in my ETSY shop...
(as soon as I get the listing together!)
Pretty satin ribbon...
They are decorated with 3mm wide double sided satin ribbon
in plaster pink or pale duck egg and the reverse side is left blank
for a personal message.
In reality, the detail is very clear and you can even see the candy stripe
chairs and flowers on the table...
I think they will add a pretty and unique finishing touch..
and some lovely alpaca yarns...
(Left to right)
King Cole Baby Alpaca DK (Camel)
Artesano 100% Alpaca DK (Biscuit)
Alpaca Select Cusco Natural DK (Light Camel)
All good alternatives to use in MJT patterns and a range of prices
The King Cole and Alpaca Select yarns are good alternative shades for
BO and Anika...

  2. Your new tags are so sweet, really really pretty! There's not been much sun around here either lately, though I did do a bit of weeding in the garden yesterday - the sun came out for an hour or so and I was boiling by the end! (It's now raining again.) Thanks again for making me Lola's blog of the week too :) xxx

  7. Your new tags are so very pretty, lovely delicate colours. You left a comment on my blog about crochet - I took the plunge as so many knitting patterns call for some crochet these days. I can honestly say that I'm glad I took a couple of classes as it was so much easier to get started this way. Problem is that it sucks you in and you want to learn everything - I'm sure you would love it and be a natural at it.

  12. The tags are absolutely gorgeous Susan and will efinitly add that little something extra to gifts. Know what you mean about bad weather for photographing. Too early means too blue, too late and pictures have a yellow hue, during the day - too cloudy and dull. Whatever happened to the sun? Eli x

  16. Lovely things and lovely colours.
    I have just taught myself the art of crochet from the lovely Lucy's tutorials at Attic24. I've tried for more years than I care to remember but I've unearthed its mysteries at last and now I can't stop!!As my initials really are SEW Ithought perhaps I was programmed not to crochet, but thankfully not so.

  17. I shall have a look at Lucy's tutorials..I was shown the basics once by a friend in my teens but didn't go further than that...loved my knitting needles too much!...I would like to have another go in the Summer....it would be fun to learn a new skill...
