Bag Ladies Swap

My parcel finally arrived in the US (suprisingly rather quickly) containing my handmade wristlet I sent as part of the Bag ladies swap over here. I'm glad my partner liked it!


I've already whipped up a few more for Etsy!

Summertime is here!

Apparently!
So the clocks went forward last night and I've managed to change most of them around the house. Yay - an extra hour of light in the evenings. Maybe it will give me a chance to take some decent photos of the stuff I've got ready for Etsy when I get home from work in the evenings.
Busy finishing a couple of things and then time for photos and listings.
One thing I did manage to do yesterday before I lost an hour was set up my shop on DaWanda. Not sure how I'll get on there but will give it a go!



Playing around with new style mini lavender pillows made from lovely soft flannel cotton fabric. Definitely need smell-a-vision here!

It's miserable outside but...

That's great as it means that I've actually managed to get the sewing machine out and see some of my ideas come to life! I've been busy finishing off a couple of projects to be sent to people and then trying to get some items completed for Etsy.

Work in progress:

Spring clean

I felt it was time for a bit of a change so my blog has had a spring clean!

A few new colours, information and a new header. The header took me forever to sort out! Not that clued up on html and changing the template etc so if it looks a bit funny on your computer please let me know. It seems bigger than last time but I can not sort out the photo size without screaming at the computer!!

Now for the crafting adventures:

At the start of the week completed a wristlet for the March Bag Ladies Swap over here. Here's a sneak peek, will show the completed outcome once my swap partner receives it.

Easter may be over but ....

There's still plenty of chocolate around!!


See loads - 12 little creme eggs!
Just in case you're wondering I didn't buy them myself they were a present, honestly!

Although I did buy this little book today from a charity shop.


Some interesting recipes to try out in here including chocolate and courgette loaf!?
Hope everyone had a good Easter!

Look what the postie bought today!
Lots more lovely tissue paper to wrap up my hand made goodies!
All I need to do now is get down to making! Etsy looking very sad at the moment.

How cute!

Thank you to everyone for your kind birthday wishes comments and e mails! It was great to hear from you all.
