Teal, Claret, Lime and Flora....

Just updating on what's *new* in the shops.....
Deliciously rich CLARET polka dot buttons. 1cm - very berry x Me, in a strange, clandestine "you've not seen me right?" *might be a spy* sort of a pose...

wearing a new FLORA brooch. So in love with these babies.
There are more of these being listed in PaperFish tomorrow. I listed 4 on Friday and sold 2 in the space of about 20 minutes so that was a lovely feeling :) They are about 2.5" across 5.5cm and made out of yummy soft felt but backed by a metal badge so sturdy enough for any coat or bag.

I'm thinking gifts for friends or a fun teacher (or yourself! you know who you are shopper x)
They are about £4.90 each in the etsy shop. I might put them in the Folksy shop but that seems so crowded at the moment... i might wait till Spring? Well, you know where i am if you want any in GBP

And then... LIME and PINK PinPot - be still my zinging heart, J'love this fella!

Oh, and TEAL polka dot 1cm buttons too - these are a beautiful colour and i will wait till the Spring to play with these as i have enough on my Christmassy plate right now, but they are in BigFish if you want to play.

Gotta go - keep crafty x

Tuesday is MEGA craft day!

Drained!
Forgive me Claire-Louise for getting your invoice wrong?! I am shattered (cue blk & white selfie shot to highlight my exhaustion)
Wearing mini-denim dress to escape the over-boiling heat here in Middle England! I am in the process of transferring aallllll the PinPots and Aaallll NeedleBooks from BigFish to PaperFish on etsy.
This is no easy task my friends and utterly, computer sittingly boring.

I did a bit of crafting every half hour or so, to release me from the boredom of bum-ache that IS sitting at the PC. I am so pleased with these 2 PinPots. Bright, Summery Sorbet colours x

And my fresh and salty new 'Seaside NeedleBook' - i can't keep all products for myself BUT i did make one of these for myself as i love beachy / seaside things. They make me feel sad that i miss the coastline but 'hopeful' as i know there's plenty of it to visit!

And, what i call, the Matroyshka Mothership!!! a prototype, One-of-its-kind NeedleBook.

I had just been playing with a new idea...

SOooooo a very boring day in many respects but it was very craft indulgent and necessary.

I love my crafty life x

And the WINNER is...

Ummm, so.... this is what happend...
the sun came out a few days ago and, like many people in the UK, i went into a kind of 'dreamy reverie' which involved sun dresses and home-made lemonade. And... there i was playing Super Slide Water Shoots in the garden and i started thinking, this is a wicked suntan i'm getting.... and then i started wondering "who won that Giveaway i was running on the blog..." (deathly silence - tumbleweed rolls - the penny drops) OH. It's MY blog.... I'm supposed to be putting them all in a hat and drawing a WINNER!!

SO.... begging forgiveness, and a few hours (make that a day) later than planned.... we have a WINNER!!! whoop-de-doooo.

I wrote down all the entries on tiny tiny tiny strips of paper and my sister pulled one out the jar.....

And the name is VICTORIA ANN. I am pleased to tell you it was Victoria as she revealed what a rotten day she had just had when she entered the giveaway.

Thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou one and all - i really did enjoy that little game-show style week!

But i feel a bit sad too as i thought "it'd be so nice to send everybody a little something" but that would be mad mad behaviour. x x x i send you all huggles instead x

Well Done Victoria!
