whos that lady whos good at making things?


Ok, so I came across a post made by a member a while back where I *THINK* she was selling scented things on ebay??
Anyway, this is going to sound odd I know, but I really want a few things making for my bedroom! Something decorative!

It's so hard to find the 'perfect' item when going out shoppin (and thats when I can actually GO OUT)..

Things like cushion covers with sewed roses, but in personalised colors (obviously)
I have seen things in the argos book such as duvet sets with matching throws, and pillows stitched with roses, but to buy them all straight out it's like £60- £60 that I dont have at the moment.

As I have a little cash in the bank (and I stress when I say LITTLE), and got everything for babies arrival- I really want to get my bedroom finished off because it's never been fully finished since having to buy things for Nicky etc!!!!
OBVIOUSLY I will pay someone to do these things for me, but its finding someone whos any good at arts and crafts to be able to do it.
My room is pink and white- sounds straight forward I know, but for instance, the carpet is pink, and I brought a white/cream satin duvet set a while back off ebay, and it looks disgusting against the carpet.
White walls and pink carpet was not the best choice, and im finding it real hard to get things to match!

Just wondering if anyone fancies getting 'crafty' and earning some money for doing so? I would do it myself but I cant sew and would really like someone to do a good job of it.

Plus I cant really afford to go out and buy top of the range stuff.

I was making bath bombs/bath melts and selling handmade bath items that I bought in but I stopped due to lack of time and space, nothing like what you're after I'm afraid, but good luck with finding something.
