Amber & Amethyst #Folksy

Well yesterday I had a brainwave. Now don`t laugh it does happen occasionally, not often I admit, bit it`s not totally unheard of.
As brainwaves go it wasn`t in the major leagues but it wasn`t bad. Want to know what it is? Well?
Oh okay. Not really that exciting after all. I`m going to go through the alphabet again. I just checked and it was the end of last year and a little bit into the New Year when I had a go before. Must admit that I was surprised I managed every letter, some were quite challenging. This one I am going to try and do with colours, I`ll just have to see how I get on.
I`m going to start with A. Yep, I know that`s a bit radical but you`ll just have to go with the flow.
Hmmm..... colours starting with A. Amethyst, Amber.... I`m sure there must be more than that. Can`t think of them at the minute but I am sure I will as soon as this blog is completed.

This blog will be in place for Friday and Saturday as I shall be away.

ENJOY!!!

An alphabet of colour I will bring
beauty to make your heart sing.
There may be one, two or more
and I hope that it won`t bore
you to go through the alphabet,
I haven`t thought it through yet.
I`ll just lurch from day to day
hoping ideas will come into play.
While I`m away for the weekend
I`ll try to think and bend
my mind to think a bit ahead
might not, it has to be said.
I`m off to do some relaxing
with hopefully nothing more taxing
than chatting and having a read.
May write a pattern, guilty I plead,
to consider working before I leave,
I`ll have more than one idea up my sleeve!!

Light Up Your Life #Etsy

Well I have absolutely no idea what to put on here today. I am fresh out of ideas and have been trawling the sites for inspiration.......

It`s okay I found something. I`ve gone with lights. It popped into my head when I was on Etsy and I put it into the search and I have to say they do look rather pretty. Quite lucky, as I was going to go with random items instead, although it has been a long time since I did that.
I could start doing the alphabet in colours and see how many I manage, now that could be fun. Would very likely have to be a bit inventive but I`m sure I could get through it. The letter that I cannot fill with a colour would just have to be something else.
Going for a fixed theme does make life easier as far as having to think up themes, especially as I am very busy at the minute with taking part in Etsy`s Mentoring scheme. I am still going through my shop tweaking tags and titles at the minute. I have some photos to retake as well, not many now, but still a job that has to be done.
Still I am getting there slowly but surely.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

The lights all look so pretty
I could almost be witty.
You don`t have to panic
or feel the need to be manic
I`m as likely to be funny
as all summer is to be sunny.
Not sure if it`s something I can fix
but somehow me and funny don`t mix.
I`ve tried so hard at it
but just cannot find the wit.
I haven`t got it that is clear
so you see, you needn`t fear
I`ll stick to what I know best
and try not to be a pest.
I`m told I can be very trying
and I do sometimes sit here sighing
great big heartfelt sighs
that even scares away the flies.
I sigh because life can be tough
especially if no one buys my stuff!!

Magical Rainbows #Etsy

Yesterday was another beautiful day. For those that don`t live in the UK apologies for the constant weather updates but all day sunshine is something we have to make the most of, especially when there is warmth too.
Anyway, the weather is sort of the reason for this blog theme today. I saw the upcoming weather forecast for today and tomorrow and it`s going to be mainly grey by the look of it and lower temperatures. I know you can`t always believe the forecasts, despite their having the latest technology etc, although they are usually right when it comes to grey and cold. So I decided that I would need some brightness to look at, just in case.
So it had to be none other than beautiful bright rainbow colours. I love rainbows, as you know and I think they are so magical, vibrant and uplifting.
I hope you like them as much as I do and enjoy the colours whatever the weather.

ENJOY!!!

I just love to see a rainbow
they always have a magical glow.
They make me think of creativity,
always such a wonderful activity.
You could go through the archway
to a special, happy land of play.
All you have to do is just stare,
before you know it you`ll be there.
Going through the colours so bright
that give off such an amazing light.
Within me it lights a fire
of creativity and does inspire
me to reach for a much greater height
just from seeing the amazing sight.
We need to find the magic, it`s a must
then we`ll all be sprinkled with fairy dust!!

Go Travelling #Folksy

I was so undecided what to do for today, I just couldn`t make up my mind. Nothing was inspiring me at all.
I had decided to look on Folksy and had a quick look at new listings, very boring. Just what seems to be entire shops being constantly relisted, so anything that is actually new, just gets swallowed up. It used to be a great source of inspiration for this blog and I have to confess, I often impulse bought from there too, as did many others. Sadly, when the site was `new and improved` it lost many of the charming features like that.
After a good look round I noticed a `gifts for travellers` section, also says `gifts for high flyers`, so decided to have a look. Not quite sure why there were cushions in there apart from the fact they had maps or modes of transport on them. Not exactly what you take travelling, but maybe some do and it`s just me finds it odd.
There are some good things since it`s been new and improved, from a sellers point of view, the messages come up a lot faster and delete quicker. A small thing but time is always of the essence when working.
Getting off the subject here. So back to it. I will look through and see what I can find that is travel related, after all it`s that time of year. I have added similar items, like the travel journals, because they are all so completely different and appeal to different people.

As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

Do you like go on holiday
and where is your place to play?
When getting ready do you unravel
with preparation for family travel.
Most people seem to go by plane
though some much prefer the train.
Flying through the channel tunnel
or on top watching a ships funnel.
Cruise ship, ferry, small boat or barge
from the very small to the very large.
So much choice today for all
even so many on the port of call.
A whole wide world of destinations
so hard to choose which vacations.
Heading for the beach and sun
wanting lots of relaxing and fun.
Maybe sports, or just to walk
taking time to read and talk.
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
I bet you`ll be saying, that flew!!
