I'm featured!

It's Handmade Monday! time :) Be sure to check out the link to Wendy's blog for details on how to take part, it is a great way to get views and helpful comments. I must apologise that I haven't been commenting on other posts as much, I seem to be rubbish at time management at the moment.. something I will improve!

I woke up to some great news, I have been picked as this weeks featured seller on the craftyfolk Etsy team. I never win anything so I was shocked and very chuffed! I have had some gorgeous treasuries made featuring the items from my shop and the views to my shop have shot up :)  Have a look here for the details of how to take part in the weekly challenge and also for some links to the treasuries that have been made for me.

I started a new hobby on Sunday, it involves shooting pointy things at round things... have you guessed? It's archery! Me and a friend have started a beginners course which lasts for the next 5 weeks, in which time I hope to improve. I wanted to take up a sport that someone with as rubbish lungs as me could do but wow, it is hard work pulling that string back and my  muscles feel like they have had a real work out. It was a little embarrassing that out of the 12 of us there, I was the only one who missed the target a few times and I had my bow (that was about two inches shorter than me) swapped for a baby one, but on the whole I absolutely loved it. There is a competition on the last week with an actual trophy which obviously I am going to win hehehe!

I have added a few new things to my shop this week which you can see below, just click the photo to be taken to the shop.





Have a great week!

  1. Well done on being featured - that's always good news! Also well done on getting out there and having a go at archery - I wouldn't worry about not being the best one there because you're doing it for you and nobody else. It's another achievement, whatever happens. And the jewellery is just lovely x

  3. Sounds like a really good week. Archery has always appealed to me, but have done nothing about it and we now have a local archery club so perhaps I should follow your lead. Hope you are enjoying it. Well done on being featured by Etsy. Hope you have a good week.

  6. Congratulations on being featured. Your bracelet with the brownish colours is just right for Autumn.
    I've had a go at archery a couple of times, and was grateful just to hit the board!
