Valentine's Cards

Now, I'm actually in a bit of a personal grump when it comes to Valentine's Day, but I'm sure there will be some of you out there who have a use for these. ;-)

• My Eyes Light Up When You're Around - available in pink cat/turquoise background and coral cat/blue background
• Truly Madly Deeply Love You - available in mustard and purple
• You Make My Heart Go BOOM BOOM BOOM - available in pink multi and teal multi

Appearing in my Folksy shop later today, after I've had a bit of a sort out/delisted Christmas stuff and took some better photographs - my camera's being a buggeroonie today!

Stuffed Nonsense!

I received a very nice email yesterday from Bex and El of Stuffed Nonsense in Cheltenham, who have a gorgeous little shop selling crafty hand-made goodies. I've come to know the girls via Folksy and blogging, and sent a few crafts to them for their Hand-Made for Haiti sale. From this they kindly asked me if I'd like to sell in their shop full-time, a chance which I leapt at, and so we began a beautiful business relationship!

The lovely ladies sent me some photos to show me my crafts 'in situ' and I wanted to share them as they are quite exciting!

Ooh yes, and check out their blog here and their shop here. 

Today I Made...

Fiveeeee teacup caaaards. 

Ate four Cadbury's Roses, drank three cups of tea, had two slices of cheese on toast and made a special brooooooch.

These cards are now available from my Folksy Shop. And they'll be available as prints from next week. 

On to the brooch! It took far longer than I expected it to take. It comprises of blue, teal and silver tiny beads stitched on to pale blue felt, with a turquoise blanket-stitched edge. I've also got a nice shiny turquoise box to put it in. Observe:

Now, when Pearl heard my camera clicking away, she just couldn't pass by the opportunity to get in a few shots. Anything for attention. Seriously, I didn't put her here - she arranged herself. I might have put the brooch on her head, but she said she didn't mind. She agreed that it also made a fetching head decoration.

Makes and Bits

It's a Sunday and I have a cold, which has given me plenty of time to update my online Folksy shop with some new things, and also look at lots of other beautiful things by other people!

Here's a list of my own updates:

And here's some of my favourite things by other people:

This chocolate cupcake tea cosy by Truly Scruptious

These darling little Christmas Robins on cinnamon sticks by Kirsty Elson Designs. 

This GORGEOUS vintage flower charm bracelet by Chiyo.

This very cute egg cosy by Sara Carr.

(Her lambswool robot cushions are also pretty amazing!)

Beautiful, vintage fabric, pom-pom trimmed, handmade lampshade by The Old Lamp Shed.

Oh-so-cute colourful little robot cards by The Juzzard.

I'd best start making some money soon, because I feel some purchases coming on! Although having said that, I couldn't resist buying these little knitted things:

Toasty warm slipper socks by the brilliantly named Flirty Gertie.
