Secret stuff!
I haven’t talked much about the Green swap I’m doing have I, from thatlittlebitgreener blog, well, I’ve been beavering away and I’ve finished it! I was partnered with Emma which is very exciting, her blog is great and she makes and sells the most amazing bags and clutches and has just written a ‘how to’ book that looks, well, the only word is scrummy!
I remembered to take a few pictures this time, but you’ll have to wait till Emma receives it first, but the general theme was ‘green’ as in recycled/repuroposed/thrifted/enviromentally friendly so wasn’t a problem for me, I think a lot crafters are horders and recyclers, seeing new uses for old things – I just hope Emma likes what I’ve done!
Now I’ve finally set up my etsy shop, ( have you noticed the pretty cool showcase I put in the side bar – I did that!) I have a bit of time for other things, which is great timing considering my baby is going to be 7 in 3 days!
However, weeping aside it is also a good friends landmark birthday soon, if It wasn’t for Jill, Rich and I would never have a night out so she is an absolute angel in my eyes! I wanted to make her something special so I’ve found this pattern on the without seams blog for a delicate shawl, and I’ve bought the most gorgeous lace weight wool from fyberspates, hand dyed here in Wales, I’ll post a picture when I get it. I’ve never worked with such a fine wool on anything bigger than a flower so its going to be a challenge, but I’ve been wanting to have a go for ages, and what a better reason to start!
And finally a picture of my ‘baby’, who obviously got up to play when I’d put him to bed…
Ahhh, bless! Don’t they always look so angelic when they’re asleep?! Gool luck with the Etsy shop, it took me ages to work out how to put that showcase thingy in my sidebar! Have a lovely weekend. R x
It’s so strange when your babies turn into rather large creatures… my babies will be turning 7 later on this year – eek! Hope the birthday celebrations went well! Looking forward to seeing your makings.
