Festival Blanket with a Hood - perfect for camping!

You know how it is with the good old British Weather - one minute bright blue skies and the next thrashing rain.  It makes camping and picnics interesting! 

We found some blankets in fantastic colours with soft fleece on the inside and a waterproof outer coating as well as a hood. 

You can wrap them around you like a cape - perfect for sitting out on those chilly camping evenings, you can put the hood up and keep the rain out or you can just spread them flat and use them like a picnic blanket. Great if you've got kids too especially on those beach trips when they stay in the sea so long they come out blue and shivering - just dry them off then wrap them in one of these - perfect! 

Festivals, camping, picnics or just sitting in the garden, we love them and we hope you do too!

Available on our website at £19.95 each http://www.snuginadub.co.uk/Hooded_Festival_Blanket.html

Cushions - Splitscreens, Bays and T25s

I've heard a few people say that there is never anything for the Volkswagen T25 so I thought I'd have a go at making an appliqued cushion.  So now we have Splitties, Bays AND T25s all based on those iconic VW campervans we love so much!

The cushions are £19.99 and all are available to order in your choice of colour on a background of soft fleece. You can view them on our website: http://www.snuginadub.co.uk/Campervan_Cushions.html

Busy making things!

Well, I've not been very good at the blog thing again!  The VW season has now finished so I'm back to making things for craft fairs between now and Christmas (is it to early to mention that word?!).  I've just added Make your own Bat kits to my felt craft kit collection ready for Halloween - they're not too spooky though, quite friendly really.  You can find them on our Etsy shop and don't forget to come and visit us on Facebook or Twitter :)

I Love My Camper Van (Campervan) Bunting

I've spent the weekend (in between the usual chores!) making bunting which you can, if you so wish, hang in the back window of your camper van.  These are for Bays but I'm also hoping to make some for Splittys and Beetles.  If you want different words or perhaps the name of your camper, that's fine too and don't worry if you can't see your colour listed, just ask, I can make one just for you!  Everything is stitched, not glued so you don't need to worry about letters peeling off after a couple of weeks!

They aren't listed on the website yet but you can find them in my Folksy Shop http://www.folksy.com/items/2065789

Starting at £15 each for a set as shown in the photos.

Catching up

Well, I've been very remiss about the blog lately so sorry about that but things have been rather hectic!  We've been to Mighty Dub Fest and CamperJam - both were great events and thanks to everyone who came to visit the stall! 

Our collapsible bowls and kettles were popular as were the LED solar string lights (which lots of people were using on their flag pole this year!).  You can check them out on our "Space Savers" & "Chilling" pages at http://www.snuginadub.co.uk/
