Folksy Friday

I haven't done this for quite awhile but I have caught the crochet bug.....AGAIN!!  This time I am making a blanket.

Totalling inspiring!  I just want to curl up with a good book and a cuppa under one of these.

My Futile Attempts

You may or may not know that I am in the (very slow) process of setting up my own website. I bought a web building package all gungho like and then set about messing around with it. I didn't have any clear plans at the time and so it just looks messy. I have now changed all my original thoughts on it and have the beginnings of something exciting.

I thought I would share some of my first ideas with you just to show you my poor attempts at making web buttons for the shop. This idea has now been scraped so feel free to have a laugh riot, I promise I won't cry........much....no honestly I won't :)

Don't worry, these will not be making an appearance in the new shop!

Folksy Friday

Hats Hats Hats!!  If only I could wear them!

Folksy Friday

My Folksy Friday this week is in honour of all the wonderful supply sellers (it was a tough choice as there are many many great ones on Folksy).  These guys help you create the most fantastic items.

Carry On Crafting!

Folksy Friday

So, I thought it was about time I did a Folksy Friday on the wonderful world of Kitsch Jewellery. What could be more fun to wear, especially on these cold and damp days.  Bring a little bit of sunshine into your hearts!

Happy Good Friday, enjoy your long weekend.

What Have You Made?

Crafty Little Mia has made these delightful earrings from some pretty vintage German flower beads she bought from Betty's Place.  Isn't she a talented little missy?  Pop over to Folksy to see her lovely shop.

If you have made something from items bought at Betty's Place be sure to let me know so I can feature you as well!

To bring a little cheer to these damp grey days my Folksy Friday is

New Flowers in Today

These yummy flowers arrived today, get them while you can as I only have 2 sets :)

Folksy Friday

I have this hidden desire to draw and illustrate however nothing ever turns out as good as I see it in my head.  So this weeks Folksy Friday picks are a little nod to all those absolutely brilliant illustrators. ( I found this hard to choose so look out in the near future for Illustrators part deux)

Chickens

So, I wanted to blog today but my brain isn't working so well.  I ask my tweeples on Twitter what I should blog about and to be honest the response was kinda slim. But anyways, I did get some replies and of those I have chosen Chickens.

Cheeky Chicken by Swirly Arts

What do I like about chickens apart from that they are finger licking good?  Mmmmm, well they are funny looking...and although they have wings they can't fly!!  Bizarre

Chickens by Covetables

They give us yummy eggs to eat.  What's your favourite way to eat eggs?  Mine is Cake.

Chicken Noodle by Hilary Upton

I love being woken up at 4am by my neighbour's cockrel.......I'm being sarcastic!

 

Wooden Chickens by Half An Acre

But most of all I like them because they inspire people to make beautiful things like the ones above.  So thank you Mr & Mrs Chicken for being there.
