I find it really interesting to think about where my cushions and prints and things end-up... who they belong to and their place in their new homes.
So- today I set myself the task of making a reminder of the things that I've made that have left the studio for new owners near and far. I do love a good pin-board (If you've not already followed me on the wonderfully addictive Pinterest, you can do so now!) so I set about a black cork-board with some Sharpies and Posca Pens to come up with my very official Nikki McWilliams Sales Map.
Each pin represents a country or state that I have sent some of my things to and probably the areas of the world that appreciate a biscuit or two!

ah what a great idea!!!!
Thanks Lucy!
Love it! Hopefully the map will soon be covered up completely with pins!!!
Fingers crossed Sandra! There's something quite satisfying about placing a pin in a map!
Fab! Such a nice way to keep track of exciting sales :)
Thanks Cat! No pins in a good few continents yet...I've got work to do! :-P
Wow, what a fantastic idea! Awesome sauce!
Love it! I'd totally buy one if you were to make them to order...
On a slightly sadder note, the other half knocked our 'A Home Full of Teacakes is a Happy One' picture off the wall today with his cumbersome drumkit and cracked the frame :-( I'm in a proper huff.
Thanks Vixie!
@Easy OsyCosy- that is sad news! However- I saw today that M&S have a 20% OFF sale on all of their homeware- they do the same frames as I used for that collection of drawings: http://bit.ly/pJJMsU
Hope that helps!
Oh no! now I'm tempted to stitch a world map pin board. I'm always fascinated by some of the unusual place names too. I could see it getting out of control as I'd keep stitching random things on it!!! Must resist urge.
Thanks Nikki! Got a new one ordered. Less huffy now!
