Feline Fun #Etsy

After seeing a couple of cat themed items that were rather cute, I had an amble round Etsy to find some more and build this lovely collection just for you all to see.
So what do you think? Didn`t I find some great and wonderful items for you?
Well I think I did a good job. I hope you like and enjoy it.

I was reading a book that gave very common sense advice and really stuff you already know but need reminding of. Such as: Plan what you need to do and write down the 5 most important things that need doing.
I do have a tendency to get sidetracked and go from one thing to another and back again, so for me this was a good reminder to be more focussed. I didn`t write down 5 things, in fact I didn`t actually put anything down on paper at all, not keen on lists.
I did however decide on two things that were important and needed to be finished completely and I am delighted to say that I actually completed those tasks.
So I have decided that I must be more focussed, so that I accomplish more in a day...... I`ll let you know how that works out.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

Cats like to go out at night
stalking along in the moonlight.
They like to hunt birds and mice
and really, it`s not very nice.
But if they lived in the wild
their life wouldn`t be so mild.
Being petted, having an easy life,
not fighting to survive the strife.
We think they have become tame,
but not really, it`s a game.
They are in charge and own us,
training people without any fuss.
They loll in the sun, demand to be fed
and expect a nice warm, soft bed.
They flick their ears, stare with disdain
then lay down and fall asleep again!!

Gifts for MUM! #Etsy

I decided that I would like to do a blog for Mother`s Day gift ideas. Here in the UK it`s on the 30th March. I believe most other countries have theirs in May and I will be sure to do some nearer that time too. These would all make beautiful gifts for any time, birthdays etc, too.

Can`t believe the run of good weather we are having over the last few days, mostly sunny and mainly dry. We have even had some temperatures in the teens, amazing. Spring could actually arrive before long.
Yesterday I was trying out something new and just couldn`t get it to work very well, it was very frustrating. Especially as I ended up getting very gluey without any tangible results. Other things I was gluing worked, just not the newest.
Are you wanting to know what it is? Well if it eventually works you will, if not it will disappear into the list of things to go on the back burner while my brain works on it further.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

Mother`s Day will soon be here
and it`s your duty, it`s clear,
to give your Mum a special treat
something unique that can`t be beat.
Because a Mum is always there
in the wings with her love and care.
She picks you up when you fall down
smooths away that troubled frown,
with that so very gentle touch
that will always mean so much.
She wipes away the tears
many times over the years.
Always a star, a shining light
and forever a guiding light
teaching right from wrong
showing how to stand strong.
So for all of that and more
shower her with presents galore.

Fiery Fun #Etsy

This collection caught my eye and I just had to have it to put on here for you.
These beautiful fiery colours look fabulous together I think, I hope you do too.

Yesterday my granddaughter was 17, bless her. To mark the occasion she had her first driving lesson lasting 2 hours. She has been saving every penny from her job and having money for Christmas and birthday gifts to pay for an intensive course. She has done so well that she is a third of the way towards the vast amount required for car insurance too. Then it`s saving for the car after that.
Somehow I don`t think she`ll have problems saving for things she needs in the future.
Me I was out and about getting bed linen for my younger daughter and a bit more towards my newest idea. I think I really have to start concentrating on one idea at a time to make headway, instead if having so many different things on the go.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

Today I have brought you fire
such colours are meant to inspire.
They light up our creativity
and encourage productivity.
Something there that draws the eye
lifts the imagination up high.
Gets us into a creative mode
with ideas coming, fit to explode.
Fiery colours so bold and bright
such a vibrant, warming sight.
Wearing such colours says look at me
I`m vital and alive, you can see.
Such people are not bothered by strife
they just love to grab at life!!

Black &Yellow #Etsy

Loved the look of this bright and cheerful collection. It made me think of bumble bees and lazy summer days, of spring days too when they start appearing again.
Most of all I loved the diversity and sheer exuberance of the overall effect.
That may sound a bit over the top but it`s true. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Yesterday I was getting on like a house on fire, after a very early start. I even got some more soap felted before heading off out. With a new idea brewing I went in search of a few things before meeting a friend for coffee. We had a good chat, before heading out on a few more errands, then it was time for lunch.
A very nice lunch it was too.
On my return home I met my granddaughter at my door, she`d popped round straight from school.
Today she is 17 years old, so it`s a big Happy Birthday to her.

ENJOY!!!

I often think that black
on it`s own seems to lack
the touch of colour required
to get me all inspired.
Have to say that black with yellow
really doesn`t feel very mellow.
It reminds me of a busy bee
that`s their colours you see.
Or even a wasp buzzing around
barely ever touching the ground.
It`s bright and cheery
you`ll never feel teary
when wearing this combination
it`s more like a celebration.
A combination with a zing
a reminder it`ll soon be spring!!
