Along similar lines

Do you remember how I was making
 lots of headbands for a local shop ?
This little sideline has grown a bit .
I have been busy making stuff and didn't really
want to confuse it with my other craft adventures .
So I decided to design some new cards to go with my stock .
I wanted them to be me but not really Clare's Craftroom
as I wanted to keep production line work separate .


I still wanted my house logo that is
 on my usual business cards .


But just a little different .


Who you ask is Mabel?


Mabel is my dear old sewing machine .
This all makes perfect sense to me !
What do you think?

  4. Oh seeing lots of crafty adventures called Mabel lately. My eldest daughter's middle name is Mabel (i'm so ahead of this, that was in the 1990's) & i'll say what i say on all the other blogs . . . remember Mad About You, when they have a baby, they call her Mabel as the dreaded mother-in-law had a moment of softness & said it stands for Mothers Always Bring Extra Love. I told my daughter this story & it has helped her spell her middle name, even now, she says that quickly 'extra love, it's EL'. Love Posie

  20. Rock 'n' Roll Clare. The card is way to cute. Totally love the Mabel idea. I instantly had this vision of a teeny weeny little old lady sitting there pumping out head bands on her trusty ol' machine. Okay, what's going on in the cellar??....LOL.....!
