Handmade Monday

Well the snow has finally gone, we now have rain. I quite enjoyed the down time with the snow and no one going in and out of our road. So quiet and peaceful. The village was silent apart from the sounds of sledges being pulled along by long suffering Dad's. Feet crunching in the snow, walking dogs or going to the village shop for supplies. Fire lit and the house had a cosy glow. Got through 3 books along with some creating.

Had loads of 'bits' left over from my card sets, did not want them going to waste and found I had some mini cards in stock. Used up a load of the toppers and ended up with 20 cards.

For Julia: Found my large sheet of sticky pads, in a drawer which I had checked, honestly. I now have a plethora of sticky pads all together in one place, lol. Problem so happy I found these that forgot what I was searching for, put it down to age, lol.

Fairy Wishes

Happy Easter Everyone

Hope by now not too many eggs have been eaten, must admit did not have one this year being very good now how long will that last? The hunts have been hunted and the weather is as glorious as it is here, wall to wall sunshine, perfect or as Pop Larkin would say 'Perfick'

Had a dilemma on what to hang the fairy houses and bags of last week's blog on my stall, had been looking for cherry blossom but not one to pass up on a bargain or two or even three found these sweet peas all 3 stems for the same price as 1 cherry blossom twig.

The vase another bargain meant as a candle holder but as no water required just too pretty to pass on. Whilst searching for these bargains another a wire tray with clear glass base perfect for all my scented sachets.

Finally to prove that I have been making two cards for my Fairy Wishes Collection:



The Inspirativity Artisan and Spa fair is now fully booked, two rooms full of crafters and therapists, menu planned signs done, cakes still to be baked but the day before and some fudge made, have also to enter the attic in search of my vintage 3 tier cake stands, where's Lee?

Enjoy the rest of your Easter break, not working apart from for myself of course do not get that return to work dread but I will be thinking of you whilst sipping coffee under the rose pergola.
