Cheering what would otherwise be a dreary day.</p><p>Not posted in a while and admit have let my blog go but instead of a New Year resolution a spring one to start with posts of what I hope the coming month will bring.</p><p>Today sorting my accounts for the year end. See what has sold and what has not, then decisions to make. In the meantime I have got an ongoing sale of a lot of stock, check out the image below:</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://folksy.com/shops/Caroleecrafts/collections/320103-sale-seconds-sunday-gifts-by-carolee-crafts-on-folksy-end-of-line" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="1050" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgkkQ1lF5R4b5PXAVyXNy4hwKg18A9-T1zlJ8kQS0UKgur_PlwRjRgArhty6rPqUoNqeIXGpuyky7aoYAf182VJhz0dfKGm-NPD6LXQnAu0huwbmmg55m0p-Q3ZRvMQ4mNFYeMAlc70ACOnXhgOagdGxCzdzaqT-vm7jA6xN3T_6B7z1fHnvouTFa--hQ=w404-h231" width="404" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">On My Machine</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Hooped ready to go is a cream organza, the plan to stitch a pretty design and make into bridal wrist decoration tied with cream ribbon.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Other creations planned for April</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Some more needle keepers but this time trying with fabric, these sold out last time and are so handy when needle working.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Ephemera packs.

Should be here by Monday and weather permitting will get that in place. On the 10th going to the farm shop to order some shingle, this area will have stepping stones for pots and Campanula planted in amongst the stones I love this little plant, a burst of colour and spreads so well.

Still Autumn is one of my favourite times of year, along with Spring. The colours of the leaves are stunning when in full swing and all part of life's process.</p><p>Been working on a collection for September, not finished yet but time has got away from me and the new month arrives tomorrow.</p><p>Starting with a Jane Austen themed print in pink and black, depicting Roslings, Pemberley, Netherfield and Longbourn manor houses.

What have I been doing? Well lockdown for one, started off okay but then got very restrictive but did as we were told. A dreadful couple of years and still not out the woods yet.</p><p>Used some of my time to combine my workroom which was too cold in the winter and my sewing room into one. Oh boy why did I have so much stuff! Loads went to charity may regret at some point but honestly had enough to open a shop! Took the adage if not looked at or used would go. The local charity shop in the next village were very happy with my donations, they had had some real rubbish landed on their doorstep. So unfair to offload pure junk to them to have to dispose of.</p><p>Once the room was tidy found my mojo came back and started to creat, now have approx 850 items in my Folksy shop.</p><p>Today (Sunday 7th August) it is beautiful outside, clear blue sky and not a cloud in site, gentle breeze and not too hot. All that changes on Wednesday through to Saturday and the heat returns in the ‘90’s. will be sitting with fans and loads of iced water to drink.</p><p>Okay back to creating a sample of my August creations, Marie Antoinette has appeared again. Vintage styling my favourite and as per normal found myself gravitating towards this genre again. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOxfA3dBta9mpJGpjCGpYNzGQJi_lLWUCAjo_-EwquyK_S4TqZ1D7KYGr6y7Gj7AuI-clA5e5T8KmpgQLko2trEQWU8CE8YkPfMo4jXuLHTto0ZikK1HZU1V30ig2ASt1oP1osHyTb5SMPCdTy4YwTygrP0yA4MxIU4fHfxq7aMWV6AGsmNsuYKr8nhg/s1773/526893C9-505F-4A1C-A024-62B48D29C084.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1773" data-original-width="1773" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOxfA3dBta9mpJGpjCGpYNzGQJi_lLWUCAjo_-EwquyK_S4TqZ1D7KYGr6y7Gj7AuI-clA5e5T8KmpgQLko2trEQWU8CE8YkPfMo4jXuLHTto0ZikK1HZU1V30ig2ASt1oP1osHyTb5SMPCdTy4YwTygrP0yA4MxIU4fHfxq7aMWV6AGsmNsuYKr8nhg/s320/526893C9-505F-4A1C-A024-62B48D29C084.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I do hope you have enjoyed my journey over the past two years.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Stay safe and cool</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Caroline</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>Carolee Craftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06664419480578937491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417622434022224370.post-36049946919474213092021-04-23T08:53:00.001+01:002021-04-23T08:53:06.350+01:00By the Sea<p style="text-align: center;"> Finally finished my latest collection this week, been in the pipeline for a while but those Mermaids finally came out of the deep blue sea to help with the stitching.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I love the sea, gentle waves lapping on the shore line, chiming of the rigging on the boats in a harbour, seagulls soaring overhead.

Been in lockdown since last March and cannot wait to be able to browse the garden centres again, selecting plants for a new garden project. This year will be the year of a raised mini pond with a few small fish. Right in front of the gazebo seat.</p><p style="text-align: left;">During this lockdown have not been idle restarted and finally finished my Poldark cross stitch that DH bought me about 4 years ago. Framed and in the garden room.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Started a sampler style little black dress chart, this will be for my sewing room.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Also been working hard on new collections for my Folksy shop, going back to my shabby chic/vintage styling. Sometimes tempted by modern but deep down I am a vintage girl and can no longer resist the call of lace, beads, sumptuous fabric, threads, designs the list goes on.</p><p style="text-align: left;">One of my plans is after a merging of my work and sewing room was to use all the in stock supplies I have. DH has decided I have enough to have a shop! do not know what he means, lol. Still have to buy a few things though as just need certain items.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Well on with my showcase of new items posted to my Folksy shop so far starting off with 2 styles of brooches and a brooch pillow</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Well almost 3 weeks into the New Year, have been busy making for Valentines Day. Plus missed last weeks Handmade Monday, where did the time go. My Folksy store has been on sale mode, busy backwards and forwards to the Postbox. Thought it would be quiet but no, sales have gone through the roof. From my point of view good, means I have space for all the new ideas. Sale ended now and back to posting Valentines makes.</div>

Learning new techniques.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am passionate about all forms of crafting and made a decision to learn something new this year. The choice has been vast but settled on Weaving. George Weil based in Farncombe, not far from us do a small frame, which for me is perfect as can make into bags etc. After the sale has finished something I am going to look at treating myself.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well after a long break, my last post was in June! My batteries are recharged and a lot of changes have taken place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly I had major problems with my website, had already changed hosts once but it continued. Got to April and had had enough, so closed my website down and reopened my Folksy shop. It was a risk but have had huge success and never looked back. More sales in 3 months than I have ever had on my own website. I do work at it though and list either something new or a relist every day, visit the other posters on the challenge thread, love and pin their items. Daily promotions on Facebook, Instagram etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New Year for me is a rebranding hence a new banner will gradually get my business cards etc changed but as have quite a lot atm, not going to just throw away. New items to make, so many ideas and my NY journal is filling up already. Hope you will join me on my journey.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have missed blogging and hope Julie will let me back into the fold but needed time away as my batteries were running on empty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Concentrating on Valentines Day, I know you may all groan as a few weeks off but time goes so quickly and in a blink of an eye it will be the 14th of February. A few makes so far some vintage styling and some not.<br />

Made some lip balm cases out of remnants of vinyl and glitter fabric, they have gone down well. Done from a design in the hoop on my embroidery machine.<br />

A three week break and have been sorting my craft supplies, done about 15% and still a long way to go. Plus my mojo went AWOL. However, on Monday the 10th, did masses of cutting out as on my sort found some fabric I had forgotten about. Stags, foxes, hedgehogs and fairies. 4 tote bags, 4 clutch frame bags, 2 make up bags, 5 lavender sachets. Not to forget 2 children’s skirts.</div>

Met up with a dear friend for coffee Tuesday 11th and talking to her my thinking changed. She is at a crossroads in that her website has been closed and she now can make decisions as to what is next. I suggested to take her time and enjoy the freedom making decisions when she is ready. I decided to follow my own advice and do things that bring me joy, are not a trial. Creating makes me happy but have always set myself deadlines which make me stressed. It is okay to step away and enjoy life as it is now, in this moment. DH has long been at me to do what I want to do, not what I feel I should do. I digress slightly in that having this new outlook I have achieved more than I have for a long time. Next week may take a break either way I will go with the flow.</div>

Made the decision to give up on events apart from the 1 local one I have been doing for years. Then saw a post on Hampshire Crafters on FB that a lady is looking at renting a pop up unit in a local Farm Shop only about 3 miles away. Have requested more details and will see costs etc and if I am accepted. Update application form sent off, not sure I will get in as noticed contemporary and not really contemporary, will wait and see.</div>

Another week and just seen a Grinch post only 31 weeks until Christmas, just saying lol.</div>

What a beautiful week with the weather, have done a lot of gardening. My DH keeps coming up with projects that inevitably involve my input for the final touches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have managed to get some work done, my plan atm is to look at the fabrics I have and make something out of the whole length. Bought this linen effect bunny fabric a while back, cannot even remember what I was going to do with it. Have made 3 tote bags, so handy for the summer all lined.</div>

Not doing as much making atm, mainly due to the fact that when I did a stock take and loaded all my products onto the Folksy shop. had a shock as to how much I had in stock. Wanted to use up some fabric I have had for a while and made 3 herb oven mitts and 1 tea cup one.<br />

Another week has gone and ever nearer Christmas, lol. Did do some sewing and pack the car for an event, more about that lower down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first creations were some Bee skirts, made from strips of fabric. with a happy bee applique design to the centre left.<br />
<br />

Have a stash of vintage linens and doilies, been meaning to use for a while. Bought them at a vintage fair then put in a box and promptly forgot about the. Still have plenty plus vintage linens that I plan to use up mainly in a boho chic clothing range.<br />
<br />
A doily pansy top/waistcoat was born. The blossom fabric gave a good base using my own drafted pattern. The pansies were a trim round some of the doilies and felt they looked better as centre pieces. Took an age to remove them all from the centre piece but got there in the end.</div>

Had an event yesterday, only sold 1 card in the morning. Exhausting and soul destroying. Have cancelled the next 2 bookings and would rather stay home and promote. On a plus note heard from the good local one and booked in for November.<br />
<br />
Today helping DH dig a path out round a bed, well I will be standing on the hose and supervising.<br />

The daily themes from Folksy are through and the 1st of May World Stationery Day had to add to my list of 'To Do's. I love stationery so much I took a course to learn how to book bind, now can make my own and to sell rather than buy. Do get distracted by a pretty notebook cover at garden centres though but if DH is with me he reins me in!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
1st April and no jokes, think being a Monday a lot of people forgot about it. Popped out to drop of a parcel from a sale on Etsy, via the farm shop for some odds and ends. Coffee and then settled down to make 3 tote bags. Found this curtain fabric in my stash, not sure how long I have had it or what I bought it for. Now some handy tote bags in a rose or polka dot print. Fully lined with pink poly cotton.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
As you may have gathered form my daily posts, am trying to make something however small every day. The secret is in the planning or in my jumble of a brain. So far working not sure will keep up every day but makes me feel good to see progress.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have also mentioned about closing my website and only using Folksy with the occasional posting to Etsy. I am loving the freedom found uploading stuff to the website so time consuming. Now can create, photograph, price and Folksy. So easy have more time to craft!!!!<br />
<br />
As been busy this week and completed my tasks for each day. Giving myself Sunday afternoon off to watch Victoria on download.<br />
<br />
See you next week</div>

I love books and can never get enough of them. Admit to not reading them all, at the moment but I will get through them gradually. I have a large library of craft books and having read an article in my favourite magazine 'Victoria' by Writer in Residence Carole Rizzoli on Sunday made me realise I am not alone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do remember the first books I read, Briar Rose by James H Fassett. My Mother always read to me at night. One evening my Dad went past my bedroom and heard me reading, he called to Mum to come and watch. She noticed that yes I was reading word for word but had the book upside down! Over the years I this had become my favourite book and had managed to learn all the words by heart. Loved the Famous Five and Secret Seven, anything that had a bit of mystery.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This genre carried on with me until about 8 years ago when for some reason my reading changed, still love Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Now love books that involve a business Vanessa Greene, Caroline Roberts and Jane Linfoot to name 3. Prefer something a bit more genteel not so vivid as a modern murder mystery. Also love Auto Biographies and over Christmas read Jo Malone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now going back to books, Craft books in particular. I have plenty do sort them sometimes and pass to the local Charity shop. Has to be a book. Something that you can open with the spines all crisp and intact. An iBook does not cut it and find this way of reading boring, whilst a book in an armchair with the fire alight, cup of coffee to hand is perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have most of the books published by the Stampington magazine 'Women In Business', see a trend here? Love to read about other craft women, see their studio's and the path they have followed. What inspires them and how against adversity carry on going.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you have books? or prefer and iPad or Kindle? Do you remember your first books?</div>

What a beautiful week weather wise, okay was a bit nippy at times but when the sun came out quite hot. Spent most of the week helping DH in the garden, still a work in progress but certainly a lot tidier than it was. I hate it when a garden has been put to bed for the winter and always looks so sorry for itself coming into Spring.<br />

Still a lot of work to do, need to find some small trees for the new grey pots down the side of the path. some spring and summer colour and the front needs some attending to. Will get there eventually then sit back in the summer with a glass of Pims and enjoy time in the garden.</div>

Shiloh wanted to help with the weeding! sadly he cannot differentiate between a weed and a prized plant, so has to be kept behind bars until we can watch everything he is up to. He will be 8 in June not sure where these years have gone but he is still as mad as a box of frogs. Our vet reckons he may calm down by the time he is 10! Our last one was still bonkers at 15.5.</div>

After some major problems the past 2 years with website hosting have decided to close my website at the end of June. Will load all my stock onto my Folksy shop. I know a lot of advice is to have your own website but tbh do better at face to face events and on Facebook. Think I have also got to the age when I want to downsize a lot of what I have and do more of the things I want to do. Retirement is to be embraced and enjoyed. Will still do my sewing and card making but not to the volume I have in the past.</div>

What a week, wind rain and Storm Gareth hoping for some dry weather with sun even if colder. Much prefer the cold weather and dry to wet and mild.</div>

Took a while to get into this pattern but after a few rows quite happy. The hardest bit was the filly edges as had to use a circular needle. Never got on with these before but quite happy and would use again. The yarn has a gold thread with mini sequins running through it.</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Arrived and got all excited, then disappointed as the magazine is very flimsy and feels cheap. Used to the Hunkydory magazine which is glossy with beautiful papers etc. The papers themselves are double sided A3 sheets folded in half, so with the crease 2 of each in A4 size. Again these are matt and have a rough texture not what I would have expected from the V & A. Not sure if the choice of paper weight is theirs or the publishers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stamp and die set are perfect though so not all lost.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A lot of project ideas included in the magazine if you need inspiration.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Would I buy again? not at the current quality. Would be happy to pay more for a more polished set though</div>

Every year I make resolutions but find them a struggle to keep up with. This year have got craft boxes. You know those plastic boxes that hold A4 paper. Have found these perfect for sorting project supplies into. Can take the box round my supplies and add what I will need. checking at the end for anything needed to order. The boxes are then stacked on a spare shelf, confident that I can pluck a box and start to create. If waiting for a delivery these are put in a different shelf and ignored.</div>

These are hand knitted in a moss stitch pattern with the rib alternate stitched knitted in the back of the stitch. gives a twisted look. The flowers are stitched by my embroidery machine onto organza, hand cut and each flower stitched to the hat by hand. Chose the colours from my new palette of muted pastels. fit age 9-12 approx.</div>

Booked a stall in May at the local market in Liphook. Selected a small table this time for £6 must watch the pennies. It is a 4ft round table which I think will be perfect and for £6 reasonable form of advertising. As I love round tables think will help the display. The hats will be hung from string across the 2 highest display props, being a coat stand and tall shelving unit. Using pretty rose pegs with the prices clearly on the peg. As with all new tables will have a go at home to test first.</div>
