Flowers, Shiney's and Pretty things.

It has been a lovely, sunny day, here though I haven't been out to take advantage of it. Instead I have been sat in front of my laptop catching up with emails, networking and general buggering about on the internet! The postman has just delivered some craft wire which I can't wait to have a play with, I have been wanting to try wire wrapping for such a long time and have finally taken the plunge and treated myself to some tools and supplies. I am going to see what I can do with the millions of glass cabochons and pendants I have made ( I am obsessed with them as they are so shiny!) Talking of cabochons- I made these last year and have only just got round to listing them on ebay ( a 5 week wait for a hospital bed then a month stay made me forget about them) Finally I feel ready to get back into the swing of crafting and listing after a very tough year health wise, I added it up and last year with the flu, pneumonia, chest infection and pickled kidneys, I spent about 15 weeks as an inpatient- no wonder I lost my making mojo!

If you fancy a nosey, the link to the listing is here 





Apart from today, the weather has been a bit dull and cold. I'm never really keen on this time of year, it's that miserable bit after Christmas but before Spring, everything seems to be in a bit of limbo. So I was very happy to see that my folks had brought home some daffodils to cheer up the kitchen. Funny how something so small can make you all smiley.



 As well as finally getting back into making, I have come out from under my rock and started to participate in the promotion of my fellow crafties. There are some wonderful things out there, here are just a selection of them. All the photos are links and take you to the items shown.



Have a great rest of the week!

Back to Etsy.

I have finally, (finally!) managed to list something on Etsy last week. I've been feeling a bit down about my shop lately, I've let things expire and haven't really done much promotion. Partly because I haven't had much success and partly because real life events have been a bit tough...BUT... now it's time to pick myself up and get back into it.

I've been enjoying playing around with some new glass molds I was given for Christmas and, after a bit of experimentation, I made something that I thought was good enough to list on Etsy (the photo is a link to my shop) I really like this way of making pendants, I could get addicted to making them.


I'm also sharing some of the work of the The Crafty Folk team members. All photos are links to the shops.

Tadpoles!

I've had a fairly quiet week here, I've been appreciating the sunshine (at last!!!) and have been in the garden. Saturday I managed to plant two new clematis and a few wild flower seedlings before the clouds decided to make an appearance and make it a bit chilly.BRR!
I did take some photos before I froze, I love how many flowers our cherry tree has this year.
I think these are called Grape Hyacinth 

So much blossom on our cherry tree this year- hopefully we'll get tonnes of cherries! 

The first flowers on the peas.

Some Broad Beans- I've never tried these before. These are a gift from my friend :)

Carrots waiting to be planted :)


Cucumber- I have never, ever been able to grow one of these. Hopefully this will be my year!


Lots of peas and carrots waiting to go out.

Beetroot and some carrots.

Lots of tadpoles this year.

A view of my pond

On the crafty side of things I have listed three new things. The photos are links :)


I have also curated my very first BNR (buy and replace)  treasury. The idea  is simple, you have to buy something featured in the treasury and that item is replaced by one from your Etsy shop. I have had plenty of views but no sales yet, I must admit it's a little disappointing. Still, I am running it until the end of May so who knows! If you have an Etsy shop and fancy having a go, click on the treasury below and see the first and second comment for full details.
