Folksy Friday - It's Christmas!

So, whilst I was at work yesterday my husband had gone out and got our Christmas Tree. We're late put-er-upers so it's still quite early for us this year. When I got home our eldest had worked her magic on the tree and it looked gorgeous. I just hope that once our littlest one (17m) has got over her fear of having a real life tree in the house she doesn't pull it all over!

There's nothing quite like the glow of the christmas tree lights in the dark to make you feel that cosy happy feeling. And that maybe, just maybe Father Christmas does exist.....

So I have succumbed this week and gone for all things christmassy. Hope you see something you like!

Folksy Friday!

This weeks Folksy Friday is all about poppies to celebrate all the service men and women young and old who have fought, or still fight, for the safety of our country.  In thanks and remembrance.....

Folksy Friday!

So this week I have been mainly working with felt and making these lovelies, pretty darn cute I'd say (if you'll allow me to big up myself) and the perfect stocking fillers for any girl.



So having worked with felt all week I thought I'd check out other items of a felt like nature, hence my Folksy Friday this week.  As ever if you spot something you love just click on the pic and travel instantly to the Folksy shop!  Aaah the wonder of modern technology!  Have a great weekend, Ux

Folksy Friday!

When I started checking out sites such as Etsy, MISI and ultimately my fave of the lot Folksy I discovered amigurumi and fell in love.  I would love to be able to crochet / knit in this way and hope one day to have a spare hour or two to give it a go.  For the time being I am content to gaze at the wonderously cute creations of those fabulously talented people on Folksy.com.  If you love these cuties as much as I do click on the pic and buy!  I'm saving up for Pierre the French Bear, he's my favourite frenchman (after my husband, of course)! x

Folksy Friday!

Gosh it's that time again already!  This week has been an exciting week on the shop front, I've had some sales which is always a good thing and the most exciting thing of all...........  I've got a logo!  And the banner, avatar and business cards will be following shortly!  I thought it was about time I smarten my look up and get everything on a more professional footing.

Here's my logo, all shiny and new.  Love it!

It looks so simple and stylish but I didn't appreciate how hard it is to try and encapsulate the 'feeling' of your shop into a colour and a font.  Taxing is not the word.....!  Thankfully the lovely Bonnita has taken me on board and brilliantly turned my whimsy into tangible ideas!

Anyway, enough of my rambling this week I have chosen items on the theme of pink stars and fairy cakes, hope you like them.  Have a good weekend, Ux
