Just a Quickie

Just a quick blog tonight, foolishly went to the gym after work today as i have even more foolishly decided to climb Snowdon at the end of July with some other crazy friends. So today in a blind panic i realised that i really should get some practice in walking gradients. I could walk miles on the flat but the slightest incline has my legs quivering in seconds. Did not do too bad so feel a bit better now.

Doing this though has made me very late with listing for July Jesters and blogging which is compounded by the fact that i failed to list or blog yesterday. Terribly disappointed in myself.

So just listed this i hope it kind of makes up for my absence yesterday. If you fancy a closer peep here is the link: http://www.folksy.com/items/635097-Flowers-in-Blue-om?shop=yes

A couple of pics from today. Only two though as i am Hank Marvin and need some tea before i curl up with last nights Britain's Next Top Model. Trashy but i love it.

This is a beautiful Turquoise Riban Jasper & Yellow Stone Lariat Style necklace from BedazzlEm by Emma. I love the almost tribal look, it would adorn any ones neck fabulously.

If you fancy a glance, which i am sure you will, its at: http://www.folksy.com/items/634457-Turquoise-Riban-Jasper-Yellow-Stone-Lariat-Style-necklace?shop=yes

And then i have this little gem from Made by Lolly. I love the colour of the felt flower on the brooch. I will be pointing quite a few people in the direction of this as it would look lush on a short jacket. Here's the link http://www.folksy.com/items/633865-Felt-Flower-Brooch?shop=yes

Well another fab day for all. I think i really need to up my game as all of the July Jester's are listing such beautiful items. I may have to do a top 10 one day as there are just too many to single out.

Right i am off to raid the fridge i am thinking crackers, boursin and ham and maybe even that chocolate mouse that has my name on it. So much for training to climb a mountain. ha ha.

Catch you all soon peeps. :)

Day Four in the July Jester's house.

Well, i am very late with my listing today not sure if it could be classed as today now considering i am only an hour away from tomorrow. Oops.

I don't know where the day has gone but i know i have not achieved much apart from organise my card making gear and make the bracelet below which i will hopefully list before the midnight hour.

I have had a good look through my fellow July Jester's listings today and below are my favourite 3.

First up is this really fun bracelet from Laura's Little Lovelies which looks good enough to eat. Check it out at: http://www.folksy.com/items/626761-Naughty-but-nice-charm-bracelet

Secondly is this gorgeous necklace from Little Red Star. I love the Big Red Flower and the beads going through the middle of the flower looks really good. Have a closer peep at : http://www.folksy.com/items/626837-The-Big-Red-One?shop=yes

And finally is this really cute Fox Terrier Puppy on wheels from Northfield Primitives. He just make me want to hug him, he is so lush. He's at:

Such a good show of listings again today it really does make me proud to amoung such a talented group of crafters. Pat on the back guys.

Well i better get round to listing my item or it will be tomorrow. Eek.

Oh Twilight and New Moon were fab, lots of moody teenage pouts and over the top acting but it did exactly what it said on the tin and i am now looking forward to Eclipse. Also as Jacob in real life is now 18 looking at his naked torso is not so wrong anymore. At least i hope it isn't. :)

Catch you again peeps. :) x

Everything is Rosey

Hey Hey, well only a quick one from me today. Managed a reasonable 10am lie in this morning so feeling pretty refreshed and eye bags are under control. Did go out into the garden today to get some pics and check out my rose, in full bloom now. Well chuffed considering i only took up gardening last spring. Also included my beautiful Daisy's and tomato's.

Love my little Mushroom it is well cute.

Well the 3rd listing of July Jesters today and i have listed a cute pair of earrings called Owlings, check them out.

There are 4 of the little beauties. Check them out: http://www.folksy.com/items/625869-Owlings?shop=yes

Only have time for one favourite today but i am sure you will agree it is worth places 2 and 3 as well.

This is stunning. It is from Love Letters and is a "Kaila Necklace" which you can find at: http://www.folksy.com/items/625785-Kaila-Necklace

Well must go i have a date with Jacob and Edward. Watching Twilight and New Moon tonight in preparation for Eclipse. I should be ashamed at 28 years of age in loving these books but i am not. They are fab. Anyone with me or am i on my own with my obcession? :)

Have good a good evening everyone. Catch you all soon :) x

That Friday Feeling

Happy Friday Everyone.

I love Friday's they are like Christmas without presents. I am really looking forward to my well earned lie in tomorrow. I have been burning the candles at both ends this week and only have the little metal circle and a centimetre of wick left and eye bags that would have to be checked in if i was catching a flight.

So whats new, well garden wise my rose is looking very promising will have to get it's picture taken at the weekend for you. Also we have tomato's and carrots on a surge which bodes well for my good life fantasy :)

Well for those of you following the Folksy July Jester Shenanigans i have listed this bracelet today. I love stripes they make up most of my wardrobe and now my jewellery to. Hope you like?

Today has been another good day for the challenge and i have again pick my favourites from the listings today, my Friday favourites shall we say.

Firstly, i love this necklace by Strawberry Anarchy listed today it mixes handmade lamp work beads, felt, wooden, glass and clay beads in such beautiful colours.

I have just been handed a rather large glass of Rose (think it is actually our fish bowl) and we are down to penalties in the Uruguay v Ghana game so i will sign off now before i descend into a rose induced coma.

Catch you soon. :)

July Jesters are Go

Hi Everyone, as it is the 1st of July today the July Jester's club on Folksy has kicked off. If you are unaware of this club, basically people challenge themselves to list and item a day for an entire month. Last month was the June Loons.

This is my 1st time as part of the monthly extravaganza and i am excited about the challenge but slightly worried i may not be able to keep up. I hope i have enough ideas and time to make the 31 posts needed to achieve the "list a day" goal. Guess we will just have to wait and see. Hopefully it will put me on the road to my first sale. :)

Another part of the July Jester's is to support and promote fellow crafters work. So as i have been checking out the listings today here are my favs of the day.

This a a beautiful Candy stripe ribbon veiled comb from Ickle Imogen. Please check out the link as this is lush http://www.folksy.com/items/619133-Candy-Stripe-Double-Bow-Veiled-Comb

Next is this fab "Gothic Black Blossom Necklace" it is just brimming with beautiful beads. This is from Mildunkley Beads and the link is http://www.folksy.com/items/620073-Gothic-Black-Blossom-Necklace?shop=yes so you can admire it as well.

Well i would love to add all the wonderful things that have been listed today but i would be here all night and the blog would probably stretch to Scotland and back. Well done everyone today.

I have listed the card featured the other day on my blog. Please go and have a closer look. http://www.folksy.com/items/621933-A-Birthday-Star?shop=yes Thanks

Catch you soon. :)

Hey hey, What another lovely day today although sun and train journeys do not go well together. I had to spend a sweltering 15Min's sat in a static train in the baking sun this arvo, it felt like I was being slowly barbecued, I will have more sympathy for burgers and sausages at my next one.

Got in today and I have my first rose on my rose bush I was so happy as it has not looked like

flourishing so the sun is at least good for that.

I am finishing off the cards I will post on my Folksy page tomorrow, hopefully, they will go down well, fingers and legs crossed.

As I got home early today after escaping work I have been having a peep on Folksy and have found this beautiful bracelet from Closet Individualist Jewellery. It is lush and my favorite listing today. If you want a closer look this is the link. http://www.folksy.com/items/618737-Poison-bottle-single-hair-barrette

Oh how well did Murray do in the tennis today, brilliant stuff but Nadal next not sure he can clear that hurdle, be a good match though. Will have to get the Pimms out. Pimms O'clock. :)

Any who I have a ham toasty with my name on it smiling at me. Enjoy your evenings :)

Stars & Glitter paper.

Hello Everyone, I think I am getting the hang of this blogging now. Hope I find you all well? :)

After a long day at work today and with my head spinning with "to do" lists and unfinished tasks, I decided to go through my ever increasing card making stock and sort it. It has been like Christmas I have found loads of wonderful craft items that I had completely wiped from my memory. It was like Supermarket sweep, staged in HobbyCraft or Inkspot from the comfort of my own sofa and free. Any better!

After deciding I have too many card blanks I thought it best to put some of my new found stock to use. Here's a sneaky peek I think I will list this on my Folksy shop on the 1st of July. Hope you like? Any comments on the card or improvements are very welcome it is always nice to have fresh eyes. Thanks. Catch you soon. :)
