A lovely Christmas!


I had a wonderful Christmas back in Worcester with my family and friends.  I took a few phone snaps.
1. My Mum's beautiful fireplace in her new house. 2. All of my presents for others. 3. My dog Pickle. I miss him. 4. Strawberry Beer. I'm a bit obsessed with fruit beers since going to Belgium. 5. I found this teddy hanging from my Mum's tree. He has a funny face.  6. The comfiest sheepskin slippers ever. A gift from my Mum. 7. A beautiful Lush Christmas bath. So sparkly! 8. Cybercandy goodies. Yum!

I was really lucky to receive some amazing presents this year. Awkward family pet photos and bacon candy canes being the highlights.

I'm off to Thorpeness in Suffolk tomorrow to stay in a cottage with my friends for new year.  I suppose I should start working on some resolutions.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have an amazing New year!

Lust List!


1. This is my perfect coat but it is not my perfect price. From Sandro. 2. Beautiful silver arrow earrings from Datter. 3. The perfect bag for me from Maude and Tilda. 4. Beautiful bowls from Young Alexander. 5. Perfectly warm and snuggly slippers from The White Company. 6. I'm decorating our bedroom in the new year and this print would go perfectly with how I imagine our room to look. By Double Merrick. 7. Cute bunny earrings from Wolf and Moon. 8. i love these watches from O clock. Lovely and simple.

I apologise for my blog being predominantly things to buy recently. I have been a bit of a hermit and been keeping myself busy with knitting up orders and browsing the web. I hope to be more exciting over the next couple of weeks.

Smug & Howkapow

Today I have discovered two wonderful online stores.  They are both just so lovely that I felt compelled to share.

SMUG


SMUG is the brainchild of Lizzie Evans.  She has a store in Camden passage which looks gorgeous but she also sells her wares on-line. I don't think she sells a single thing that I don't like.






Howkapow

Howkapow is a design shop featuring colourful and unique gifts from the best new and independent designers. It is full of pretty!

Phone snaps of the week





Top row: My home made crochet snowflake bunting and my new bunny lamp (a Christmas present to myself)
Middle row: Our Christmas tree. Not real sadly as Sprout will eat it.
Bottom row:  My lovely Poinsettia, which I am really trying not to kill and Sprout keeping warm by our awesome 80's radiator. The radiator is the same age as me.

Folksy's new look

I was thinking that Folksy was looking a bit tired and that it was becoming a little too full of what I like to call 'granny' crafts (think village hall craft fair) rather than modern and contemporary crafts.
 I actually stopped selling on there for this reason and that I didn't really feel that my items were right for Folksy anymore, but it seems they must have had similar thoughts themselves and had a bit of a face lift.  Their new look is brilliant and a has a much more contemporary feel to it.  I may just have to re-list my items.

http://www.folksy.com/

They have also started 'Frankly' a magazine/blog about some of the talented makers on Folksy. It looks really fresh and well designed and I will definitely be adding it to my daily reads.

I'm really impressed and happy that the people behind Folksy have done all of this and I can definitely see it attracting more buyers and sellers. Hip hip Hooray!!!

New Knit


 


This Cowl was specially commissioned by Modern Art Oxford for their gift shop but will be available in my Etsy shop next week.  It is similar to the Moss stitch Cowl but made from soft Merino roving wool.

Say Goodbye









The romance of these images of men going to war at Pennsylvania Station in 1944 warmed my heart and then the sadness of it all broke it.
