April Show-ers, the new monthly listing Club on Folksy.


Just have a look at all the lovely goodies available on Folksy. We have again got a listings club this month, called the April Show-ers. I haven't had time to list anything today but hopefully will join with a double dose tomorrow. Hope you'll enjoy these for now!

Uninspired, under siege and underwhelmed.

I don't know what it is but everything I start at the moment goes wrong.  Paintings don't work out, inchies just look tatty and beads are not speaking to me at the moment. In my head I have visions of very pretty things but I cannot bring them to fruition.
The cats are also troublesome as they insist on breaking their way into my crafting space and jump on my desk or rummage through my materials. The trouble with having FOUR of them is that when you get one out three others sneak in again.
It's probably  revenge on their part as we left them at home and went on a short break in the Lake District. The kids looked after them well but according to them it is not the same. We should be here to serve them. Or we'll wee on your bed!

Yes one of them really did and then they had an even better idea.... Puncture the waterbed! There we were thinking they'd done it again and they were just sniggering in their whiskas!
Ok so I have bought the stuff to mend the waterbed now and they seem to have forgiven us but I am still not allowed any peace to craft. They have to interfere. I think I will have to build them a big gazebo type thing in the garden that they can lounge about in when the weather is nice. It is sad they can't go out except on a lead but even here in the countryside the traffic is too dangerous. 
Other things that have interfered lately with creativity and opportunity to make things has been the total lack of support from my domestic appliances.  The dishwasher makes my dishes dirtier than they go in and throws hissy fits every two or three days flooding the kitchen, the tumble dryer is being "cool"  and the microwave threatened to go up in flames yesterday. Thank goodness "Henry" still works even though he spends an extraordinarily amount of time lying on his back....
Anyway, I'm hoping the postman will bring me some parcels tomorrow so I can try out some different techniques and maybe kick-start me again.

Valentinos and Aceos





I didn't know what my blog should be about, the Valentinos listing club or the busy Aceo artists.
When I started through the Valentinos listings I realised the Aceo artists were there in great numbers! So that made it easier for me. Here they are, the ones above are mine and all the gorgeous ones underneath are all the other Valentinos Aceo Artists.

Some of my favourite things

No-one I know is getting married but if there was someone I would get them this gorgeous ring holder from Pants and Paper.

I absolutely love this amazing watch from the Whimsical Wren

These earrings are absolute stunners from Infinitijewellery

This is such a pretty bag,from Made with Love X,makes me wish I had a little girl to buy it for.
The colours of this scarf are so lovely and the textures add to the total scrumptiousness
This pendant is so adorable and the colours are really nice too. You can get this from the Dotttery Pottery

Hearts, hearts and more hearts.




I listed this pretty journal today and decided I REALLY needed to do a blog about the Resolute Revolutionaries as I had not done a blog for ages. Because the journal is decorated with hearts I decided to see what other hearts were on offer today. Well here they are, hope you like them:
