Dreamy Collection #Etsy

What do you think of these delicious finds then? I fell in love with the colours before I looked any closer and once I did it was irrisistable. I felt sure you would love this dreamy collection just as much as I do. So..... Ta Da ...... here it is.

Yesterday I played hookey and went to the city, meeting a good friend. We wandered about doing some errands, chatting as we went. Actually looking back I think I talked endlessly and she, poor soul, didn`t get much of a word in edgeways. Note to self: curb the chatter.
Unlikely to happen but worth a try.
Just after I returned home my daughter appeared with her youngest two and their friends, on the way back from school. They raided the cupboards and had some eats while my daughter nipped to the shop.
Then later still my older brother turned up, he`s a whole year older, with my youngest nephew and stopped for a cuppa and quick chat.
All in all it was quite a sociable day.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

Here come the creeping colours of dawn
signalling the onset of the new morn.
A dark velvet sky edged with light
a beautiful shade becoming bright.
The rest of the dark becomes blue
those edges turn an orange hue.
I watch once more the daily show
waiting for the brightening glow
of the sun as it finally appears
and the last of night, disappears.
No two sunrises are ever the same
like this one, now turning to flame.
Across the sky the colours are streaked
just like a paintbox that has leaked.
It`s a wonderful way to start the day
watching the sun come out to play!!

January Blues #Etsy

I was looking for inspiration and thinking how many people get the blues in January. It`s the middle of winter, the Christmas and New Year excitement is over, many people are short on cash and it`s usually cold. Well it is here in the UK, not to mention mainly grey skies and lot`s of rain. With all that it`s not really surprising that many people feel low.
What we need is more daylight, blue skies and sunshine and happy upbeat people. The daylight bit is improving, slowly I know, but still getting a bit lighter day by day, so that`s good. Blue skies and sunshine? Can`t help with that, we take what we are given, but I have got lot`s of blue to remind you of blue skies. Does that help?
Happy upbeat people? Well sometimes they can be annoying if they are too over the top. I am mostly positive and happy but there are times when I get low too, it`s part of life and human nature. As with everything it will pass.

Being upbeat, my fingers aren`t so blue/purple, despite covering two more notebooks. Still haven`t settled on a formula, it`s like a puzzle at the minute and I love a challenge.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

Tell me. Are you feeling blue
and just don`t know what to do?
Feeling that January is way to long
knowing that you have to stay strong
but really sure it will be a fight
especially with money so tight.
At Christmas maybe, you overspent
still not sure where it all went.
For the long month that lies ahead
you know that you cannot stay in bed.
You have to face the world each day
with a smile, because that`s your way.
Soon the smile becomes some laughter
and you know you`ll look back after
and say it wasn`t so bad after all
I didn`t stumble and I didn`t fall
I stayed positive, held my head high
even if inwardly there was the odd sigh!!

Colour Splash! #Etsy

With the long dark evenings during the winter I think colour and brightness is something we all need, even if it`s sunny during the day. When it`s dark and cloudy in the day too we need brightness and colour more than ever.
So aware and alert to your every need that is just what I have brought you. I couldn`t resist these gorgeous items and hope you will enjoy them too.

Yesterday, after a bit of housework, I decided to have a play with my crafting materials. I had been having different ideas for various mediums and decided to take the plunge.
It involved some of my own artwork, scanned, digitally blurred and printed onto canvas feel paper. Then I got some notebooks I`d bought, A6 size, and decided to have a go at covering it with the canvas.
After a few false starts and glue everywhere, I got the hang of it and managed to cover two. I did end up with purple finger tips which wasn`t a good look.
They hadn`t quite finished drying when I was writing this but looked pretty good so far. Watch this space.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

The day is dawning bright and clear
bringing a great chill, I fear.
The horizon brightens with the dawn
as I sit watching with a yawn.
Slowly rising up, comes the sun
signalling that the night is done.
Hints of colour streak the sky
spectacular shades up on high.
Red, pink and then orange too
I just can`t resist this view.
Every day I have a front row seat
for a show that cannot be beat.
An amazing changing gallery
a show that seems just for me.
I love to watch the daily sunrise
it never fails to surprise!!

All about Love! #Etsy

I did a treasury for the Craftyfolk Scavenger Hunt team challenge and was so pleased with it that I decided you all might like to see it too.
I know Valentine`s is over a month away but the weeks will soon go and it will be here before you know it. All the items I had to find just seemed, for me, to point towards Valentine`s... and so it was born. Ta Da!!

Yesterday I met a friend for coffee for three and a half hours. In my defence we did have a lot to talk about as we hadn`t got together since November as far as I can recall. As she is a crafter too, it was great to be able to discuss all of that, iron out problems and bounce ideas around. We also set the world to rights and are now firmly convinced that if we ran the world it would be greatly improved.
Well it certainly wouldn`t be any worse.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

Love will soon be in the air
as lovers canoodle without a care.
Hearts and flowers will be all over
all the romantics will be in clover.
Cupid, a heart, a single flower
all point towards the power
of love that flourishes in the heart
of lovers that never want to part
and remind us all of romance
of kisses and the need to dance.
Love is such a wonderful thing
that makes us happy and want to sing.
It puts a smile on many a face
taking them to a happy place.
It takes our feet from the ground
and makes the whole go around!!
