Cute SEW HAPPY frog doorstop or paperweight


Meet Mrs Frog. She's weighted with dried beans, so is perfect as a doorstop, or as a desk paperweight. I've made her from a 40 year old pattern in my collection, which I've adjusted slightly because I wanted her to have a tongue... all frogs should have a tongue!


I've used a pair of boggle buttons, from my vintage collection. And a glass dragonfly bead has settled on her foot. She took a good couple of hours to make, so she's a bargain. I can make up a companion if you would like her to have a friend. Just let me know.


I also have other doorstops available - if you like this one, please scroll down and check my other makes for sale. All made by me.


Price: GB £10 plus £2 post and packing within the U.K.

I've made up some more chicken doorstops for all you chicken lovers out there - I can make these to order in any fabric you prefer. They really are Sew Happy chickens, and will bring a smile to your face. I've added a wonderful musical chicken to the collection! And a broccoli chicken... and a corn chicken. They can be used as doorstops, or use them as a cheerful paperweight to bring a little bit of colour to a desk!

Henrietta, chicken licken, Esmerelda... sew happy chicken doorstops


 These chickens are guaranteed to make you smile! I've always loved making my chicken cushions and chicken doorstops, link here, and I've now made some lovely girlies that would make fabulous Christmas presents, or indeed, fabulous presents for any occasion - one would make a lovely housewarming gift.
So I'm introducing my chicken doorstops. They are made with a top quality designer upholstery fabric for stiffness, and each will be that little bit different. These are the first three.

The eyes on these three are double buttons, with the central button being a gingham one, while a cute gingham ribbon completes the look. They are the same on both sides.



They are weighted with large pebbles and plumped up with stuffing to make them soft. These are very tactile! Click on each picture for a closer look.



I've tested these on lots of family/friends, and all have loved them. They really do make people smile.

GB £20 each including post/packing within the UK.

Lavender sachets, appliqued houses. Very cute!


Here's a colourful selection of appliqued house lavender sachets, generously filled with organic lavender from my local farm.


Each with three windows and a door. Very individual, very 'not on the high street'. I can add a button doorknob if wanted...


Various colour combinations available.
These are great fun to make, and I hope you like them. ;-)
