Saturday Selection #Handmade #Folksy

The last day of the pre-planned blogs, tonight I will be home once more and tomorrow you will have to put up with me waffling on again. Probably a lot of waffle all about my visit and what I made while there too. Not sure I could leave my beloved yarn and crochet hook behind, wherever I went. It helps the journey go quicker having something to do anyway.
Ooops, I`m waffling already and not even back yet.
This time we have 5 shops as I intend to take up two slots with my creations. I realised that several of mine haven`t been shown on here because they didn`t fit in with the themes at the time. I have been listing each day and sometimes twice and only a few have appeared here.
So 4 of the shops will have 3 items each and mine will have 6.
Made by Lolly x has a bevy of beautiful creations in her shop many in felt. From lavender bags to heart decorations to amazing brooches and so much more.
Lynwoodcrafts is well known for the stunning and intricate embroidery on all the beautiful items of which there are a large variety. Hairclips, brooches, needlebooks and bangles are just a very few.
JoSara is filled with beautifully made creations with the addition of mosaic work. There are a variety of garden mosaics and beautiful mirrors, gardeners bows and Christmas decorations.
Swings & Roundabouts has a variety of beautifully knitted and crocheted creations including a sheep, beautiful baby sets, hearts, blankets and so much more.
UniquelyYours designs are all knitted and crocheted by me. I don`t use patterns, just keep it in my head or write obscure notes for future reference. I constantly get new ideas, often just by looking at a ball of yarn and while I am knitting or crocheting new ideas are constantly forming.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

The moon it glows in the sky
sitting proudly up on high.
Spreading ghostly light all around
as creatures scuttle by without a sound.
Many are the things that move by night
careful to remain hidden from sight.
Predators silently prowl
as does the wise old owl.
It stealthily flies then swoops
and some poor creature it scoops
up in it`s waiting claws
never having to pause.
The full moon it lights the way
can make the night as bright as day.
It`s a strange unearthly light,
makes everything so black and white.
Romantics like to stand and gaze
at the moon in this phase,
glowing big and round and bright,
the full moon is a wondrous sight.

The wind is roaring through the leaves,
now it`s time for those long sleeves.
Soon be time to put the heating on
then the summer will be really gone.
The end of the season can feel bad,
shorter days can make folk feel sad.
This is natures cycle, the changing season
but just think we now have a good reason,
to go shopping, for winter wear
it will be needed soon, I swear.
So brighten up and off we go,
shopping, is part of the humans flow.
It cheers us up, makes us feel good
let`s face it, just as it should.
Seasons circle, the economy does too
which can only be good for me and you.
Shopping makes the economy turn
something everybody should learn.
You buy goods and then we buy more
supplies to make, that`s what it`s for.
Circles, circles, everywhere
for us too they are there!

Age doesn`t matter, it`s how you feel inside,
so wear your years gladly and with pride.
Wrinkles are the badge of the life you`ve had
laughter lines to show it wasn`t all bad.
If your body isn`t perfect it doesn`t matter,
so what, if over the years, you have got a little fatter.
perfection al the time would be so boring,
remember that too, the next time he`s snoring.
What about turning the clock back if you could?
I`m not sure, if it was possible, if you should.
The angst and pain of the teenage years,
the highs and lows and all the tears.
The pain of a first love
they all go hand in glove.
A struggle when you first start out,
learning what real life is all about.
I like the life that I have now
no On to whom I have to bow.
Everything I have i own
the seeds long ago were sown.
Now all I have is mine free and clear
now I can spend on those all I hold dear.
I still work part time it`s true
a necessity to fund creating for you.
But I do what I love and love what I do.
making wonderful creations just for you!!

Life is what you make it,
you just can`t fake it.
Live your life to the full,
without any of the bull.
Make the most of every minute
put everything you can in it.
Fill it full of fun and laughter
to give happy memories after.
To really live is to feel great joy,
don`t just use it as a ploy.
Sometimes we just plod along
when things keep going wrong.
Then the lightness comes back,
we have noticed what we lack.
Do what you love and love what you do
it`s the best way for me and for you.
Creativity gives ouir spirit life,
helps us through times of strife.
Plenty of love is best of all
because it makes us walk tall.
There are times when we fail,
tear our hair and weep and wail.
But the human spirit always wins through
we know this well, both me and you!
