July Jugglers #FolksyFriday

We haven`t had a Folksy Friday for a couple of weeks so I decided to do one today. With it being a new month there is of course a new daily listing club on Folksy run by Natalie of NOfkants Curios. Natalie does a sterling job of keeping it all going, adding the tally and bouying up spirits when required. It`s a time consuming job she fits around all her other commitments and really helps the sellers to raise their profile.
I have not been taking part in the club this month, or last month but cannot help going on the forums for a look at all the new listings on the club.
It`s funny how you miss it when you don`t take part and have been doing so for months. I might leap in yet, I`ll see and will almost certainly be back there next month, although I am having a weeks break at the beginning of August.
Yesterday I went with my daughter and her family to see the Olympic torch procession as it was leaving Norwich. Despite the early hour it was crowded with more arriving all the time, I was amazed at the volume of people. The two youngest grandchildren had their own Olympic flames. The 5 year old had a large one that he had taken to school for a procession there. He got a few compliments on it and the highlight for him was a police motorcyclist in the procession stopping and saying it was the best he had seen and holding it up. His little face was a picture, bless him.
Although it`s an historic occasion we will all probably remember it most for that now.
I`m very glad I went to see it, the atmosphere was lovely.

ENJOY!!!

I thought I`d do a little ditty
maybe try for something witty.
About a young man in a hurry and muddle
who then fell into a large puddle.
He didn`t know the water was deep
otherwise he would have tried to leap
across, or paid more attention,
something it`s alway good to mention.
In he went and then disappeared
it was much worse than we feared.
There was a mighty big splash
caused by him being rash.
A bubble, a ripple and a wave
then gone so fast we couldn`t save
even his backpack that disappeared fast
now he`s a memory from the past.
Do you know what happened next?
Well, we`re still waiting for a text....!

Fruits & Flowers #Folksy

Thought we would have a change of pace today and have some crafts from Folksy. I had a look through and saw some lovely summery looking fruits and flowers and so this blog was born.
Haven`t been on the forums much on Folksy just lately with so much else to do and that is something I must get back into the habit of doing. Otherwise I don`t know what is being listed and forget to catch up with the lovely folks on there.
In another month I hope to be joining in with the daily listing club again so I mustn`t get out of the habit else I shall forget to list. It`s good too to see what is being listed elsewhere besides the main shop you are concentrating on.
Yesterday I had my youngest grandson for a while and we had a trip to the supermarket which he loves.
The weather was back to grey and dull and then lunchtime we had rain for a while. It did dry up again for a while and then it was more showers, it feels quite Autumnal at times. Sooo not good.
I`ve been resting my back and applying heat which seems to be doing the trick quite nicely, so another day or so and it should be back to normal. Yay!!
Finished a pair of wristies or fingerless gloves I have been working on but not yet taken any more pics... and so the pile grows.

ENJOY!!!

Flowers always look so pretty
whether in country or city.
On crafts some give a country look
while others a more modern hook.
In all colours under the sun
whatever they adorn looks fun.
So many fruits are a summer thing
and certainly make me want to sing.
Luscious strawberries so ripe and yum
all picked and ready for my tum.
Raspberries so full and sweet
are ones I can`t wait to eat.
Lemons always go best with honey
that`s my preference, right on the money.
Limes so sharp and tasty with a zing,
go well with pretty much anything.
In summer so much wonderful fruit
and on crafts they look real cute.
I hope today you enjoyed the summery view
of all these creations made just for you!!
