Not a good week

Well, just a quick note to say what a terrible week it has been. Was struck down with the dreaded flu and then allergic reaction to the pills I was taking and got covered in a rash. Then the computer decided to break down. Now my daughter got the flu too. Boo Hoo.

Just a few of my Folksy Favourites today.

Brooches

I suffer terribly from impatience. I can sit all day and make something but I can't stand it if it runs into another day. I have started making little brooches. I can pick them up and put them down all day. I have been rumaging through charity shops looking for little bits and bobs. But will have a major hunt at the weekend, probably on a trip to Whitstable (definately the best place for charity shops).

Put a few brooches on Folksy.

About Time

It really is about time I got around to getting on with this blog. Excuse me if it seems a bit of a muddle, its my first go at this.

My first sale on Folksy inspired me, excited me and gave me the confidence to get out into the world instead of hiding away, too shy to show what I do.

Thanks to Helen from http://simplyhdesigns.co.uk who wrote a lovely bit about my stall after my first craft fair, and that resulted in my first sale.

My wreaths (above) seem to be popular and I sold five at the fair, loads to friends and I am busy busy busy trying to get more done. Trying to find old jumpers in the charity shops at the moment is a nightmare and I fear I may run out. I have two in my folksy shop at the moment, if your interested http://www.folksy.com/shops/pantsandpaper.
