pay it forward folksy friday

2011-03-31T12:03:00.000-07:00

Some of us on Folksy have decided to be super generous and do a little good deed which involves selling one of our items for free (well 20p to cover the listing fee and enough to cover postage) in return the buyer should do something nice for someone else or list something in their shop for the same price.

If you wold like to get involved just buy one of these fab items below and then list an item in your own shop with the tag "pif" and "pay it forward" for the listing fee of 20p and pass on the love! here is the folksy forum post where you can then promote you pif item http://forums.folksy.com/forums/6/topics/274105?page=1 "One good deed might not seem like much, but if everyone did something good for someone else, then the cycle of generosity and kindness can help us to become better people".

happy friday everyone and hope you all have a great weekend

my first week on etsy

2011-02-02T14:58:00.000-08:00

wow i hadnt realised it had been so long since i last blogged. ooops! very much neglected.

well ive ventured into the big and somewhat scary world of etsy.

i started listing things over the weekend and although my views are small they are creeping up slowly and i even have a few hearts, although this doesnt mean much but its very exciting for little ol me! oooh and ive already been featured in 2 treasury showcases. which is great exposure for my little shop and although it may only bring in a few looks its still all good news for my first week. so overall im happy it has gone well so far, cannot wait for my first sale!

here are the fab treasuries im featured in

http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d485374f3b48eefa13384df/my-house-at-the-end-of-the-rainbow

http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d46942d7ad36d91c843da3b/i-heart-steampunk

and i thought i better make one of my own

http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d46afa94afe8eef280165a6/as-cute-as-a-button

im liking the etsy treasuries they are a great way of seeing shops that you might not see otherwise, and great if you love a style or colour.

Please take a look at my etsy shop!

snow!!

2010-12-01T14:00:00.000-08:00

Just thought id share some pictures of the snow here in wales. we havent had that much snow compared with alot of the country but it is still nice and white!.

This is also the view i get from my craft room which is in the conservatory so i havent been able to get much done the past week because it has been to cold to work in there, i did try but gave up when i couldnt feel my toes or fingers!

I have resorted to moving my sewing machine into the living room but i dont have anywhere to do any jewellery making so its slowed production down, which is not great news when i am panicing about the 2day christmas market i have on the 11th/12th.

Just hoping the snow stays away that weekend and next weekend as it is my little boys 3rd birthday, he might end up having a sledging party if the snow stays put.

Below is a picture of Theo after i caught him eating the snowmans nose, we came to a compromise and i had to break the carrot in half so he could eat half and the snowman got to have a nose.

And sledging (Theo wanted to take his little toys sledging and we couldnt find anything to put them in so he didnt loose them in the snow, so they ended up in an empty pringles tube!)

yay its December!

2010-12-01T12:36:00.000-08:00

2010-10-21T05:02:00.000-07:00

Sorry i have been so useless at blogging recently!
I just wanted to do a quick blog today to show you all some of my favourite finds from folksys folkfesters.
It is very hard to get noticed on folksy and i sometimes wonder how people find me and i still feel very invisable surrounded by so many fabulous and talented crafters.
here are some items from some very talented sellers

please click on the pics to be taken straight to the sellers shop.

2010-10-07T13:57:00.000-07:00

This is a poster ive made, i have added on my facebook page and have printed it off to stick around some local shops, cafes, and wherever else i can sneakily put it.
Hope it helps a few more people discover the wonder that is folksy!

Addicted to........

2010-10-07T12:08:00.000-07:00

Fingerless gloves!! i love them, and every day someone lists some on folksy and i have to add them to my wanted list. i really dont think you can own to many pairs of fingerless gloves! can you??? ive never been a shoe or bag gal so i think gloves must be my weakness. and strangly i have been wanting the weather to get cold just so i can wear gloves and layer up. i always feel more confident in the winter, i love layering clothes and wearing a scarf. probably because i am a bit on the rounded side! ,
Anyway last week i did a swap with the lovely Sharon of bliss knits http://www.folksy.com/shops/BlissKnits
i got some fabulous fingerless gloves that i LOVE! and then went back to buy some for my mum for a christmas pressie.
(i havent got a photo of mine but these are the ones i got my mum, mine are the same but in lovely autumn tones)

Here are some gloves from my wishlist. oh and i also have a new found love for chunky knit leg warmers, i havent seen many on folksy but i have seen some fab ones on etsy, so if anyone feels they would like to tempt me with some on folksy i might just have to get some!

2010-10-04T14:02:00.000-07:00

Over the weekend i made a few much needed sales and some items i was selling on ebay sold, only a few pounds but a fewmore pounds than i started the month with so i am very happy.

Also i am 1 sale away from the big 5-0! and i am so excited at th prospect of reaching 50 sales since i started in April.

Ghost hunting at the feathers

2010-09-15T12:25:00.000-07:00

Just incase anyone wanted to know how my ghost hunting went i thought i would do a quick blog and show you some pics.

This was the first time we have been ghost hunting, and although i do believe in something i went with a very open mind and expected to not feel or see anything. The last house i rented was in a very small rural village and the house was cut into the edge of the graveyard, from the upstairs hall window you could almost touch a gravestone which was horrible. we had loads of unexplained things happen while we lived there and couldnt wait to move out but i wanted to see or hear things in an enviroment where other people could see the same thing, so i know it wasnt just me imagining things.

The venue was The feathers Hotel in Ludlow, which is a absoloutly stunning and full of character. The Hotel is internationally recognised for its beautiful Jacobean architecture and medieval heritage.

The night started with a 3 course meal in the old banquiting hall, we then went on a tour of the hotel and then explored in groups. One of the bedrooms is believed to be haunted and all the group instantly felt uneasy in the room. apparently the ghost of a woman is seen and felt in the room and if a couple are lay in the bed she often gets jelous and torments the female, pulling hair and on one occasion was believed to pull a woman from the bed.

I took some photos while a couple in our group lay on the bed and when i checked the photos later i found that the girl had a very bright orb on her leg.

im still not sure what to make of orbs, but i did take loads of photos whith no orbs but funnily everytime i took a photo in an area where we sensed something or heard something there is an orb or a cluster of orbs in the photo.

This was a picture of the chair in the bedroom, i took two photos of the same chair and the first has nothing on it then this second one has these orbs on it.

people who sit on the chair often get chills and a feeling of someone next to them.

When we joined with the paranormal investigator we went back to the room and tried contacting some spirits, we managed to contact the lady who the clairvoiant said was called elizabeth or lizzy,

it became clear she really liked one of the lads in the group, we tried yes and no questions with a crystal. i held the crystal out at arms length while the group asked questions, they asked if the spirit wanted to be contacted and the crystal started swinging, we then asked questions about who in the group she liked, when we asked if she liked one of the lads in the group the crystal started violently spinning in large circles. i kept my hands held out as steady as i could but the crystal continued to spin until we asked another question which caused it to go still.

if someone else had been holding the crystal i might have not believed and thought that they were spinning it but as i was holding it i cannot explain why is started spinning so irratically.

I will continue this blog tomorrow!

spooky ey!

2010-07-22T13:51:00.000-07:00

Day 9 of loonisy

2010-06-09T11:08:00.000-07:00

Well ive made it to day 9 of the June loons, and although the month started of well it has slowed down a little now, seem to be having less views on my listings and im struggling to stay on top of my promoting. how do the rest of you find time to make items, list items, then blog, twitter, facebook, craftjuice etc then cook, clean look after children, pets etc etc..... and for those of you that hold down jobs aswell you are A-mazing and i cant imagine how you manage, you are like real life superwomen - (or men)!

Id love to know how everyone else manages to juggle everything and if anyone has any amazing tips on how to manage things or any time saving ideas id love to hear.

I've only really noticed how much time is involved with promoting my shop and items since joining the June loons, before i would list an item, maybe add it to craftjuice and that was it, i didnt really get very involved with the forums or promote new items.

And although it has been very hard work i feel it is paying off.

so anyway because i seem to have run out of time the past few days here are my day 7,8 and 9 listings and some of my faves from today from other loons.
and i really cant believe the sales tally, it is fantastic how many sales everyone has had. ""Big up the june loon massive!!""

And some of my favourites from other sellers.

An amazing fossil by Natalie

A lovely alice in wonderland necklace by Mary Elliot

And a stunning turquoise pendant by Jacqueline

There are so many lovely items its been so hard to choose today.

June loons day 6

2010-06-06T13:25:00.000-07:00

Day 6.
Just a quick update of the items i've listed today and some of my

faves from other loons

And here are some of my favourite items from today listed by other sellers

A gorgeous purse by "moody cow designs"

(I really love the fabric on this)

A lovely and unusual bracelet by "steampunk storm"

And a picnic roll by "lemonade and lammingtons"

This is a fab idea for keeping cutlery tidy on picnics, im always so unorganised and just throw the knives and forks in with the food then end up with mangled fruit and burst yogurt pots! this is a great idea.

2010-06-05T10:51:00.000-07:00

Day 5 in the June Loons house and i am definately feeling like a loon! for good reasons though, since becoming a loon i have sold 3 items from my shop! i am sooooo happy i have been grinning like a cheshire cat for the past few hours.

here is the necklace i listed today which has already sold!! i am loving making these style of necklaces and they have been selling well so i think i am going to try and concentrate on this style for a bit, they are exactly what i love to wear so its nice making and selling things that i love.

Here are some great items listed today by fellow loonies,

because its lovely weather and im feeling very happy and summery ive decide to do a special offer. http://www.folksy.com/items/525669-Summer-speci…

(i dont usually do simple hanging a pendant on a chain type jewellery but i really dont know what else to do with these pendants because they are just so cute by themselves).

i also have these buttons in my shop and i really would like to see them gone so if anyone wants to do a swap for them that would be fab. i dont want much for them (ignore the price), a couple of beads or a bit of ribbon, a piece of cheese? anything really but itd be nice to see them gone to someone who will use them.http://www.folksy.com/items/456141-vintage-buttons-2-different-packs?shop=yes

A super monkey for postpals

2010-05-20T13:14:00.000-07:00

This is the monkey i have made for a little boy called Ashley at postpals. If you have not heard of postpals i recommend you take a look, http://www.postpals.co.uk/ it is an organisation that helps put a smile on a sick childs face by helping to get people to send them post, it can be letters, gifts or anything that you think the child would like. I had never heard of this organisation until i had a message via folksy from a postpals helper who had seen my superhero monkey and knew that a little boy called Ashley would love one. so this is the one i made for him. I have had a lovely message from ashleys mum and he thought the monkey was "wicked" so i am so happy that he liked it.
Please take a look at the website and have a read, it really is an amazing idea and i will be sending as many things as i can to different children as i cant even imagine what they are going through.

SOME LONELY HEART ORPHANS IN DESPERATE NEED OF NEW HOMES!!

http://www.folksy.com/items/486297-moo-hoo-the-sock-thing

moo hoo really needs a loving new home. as you can imagine he is suffering from bit of an identity crisis. i have tried to give him the support and love he needs but i really think he needs a permanant home where he can find his true identity. he really is a very squishly loving little..... ermmmm.... thing? please give moo hoo a home!

http://www.folksy.com/items/486373-Horris-the-monster

This is Horris, "Horris the horrible" as his fellow monsters call him, however i have found Horris to be a very loving and friendly monster. He does have a tendency to eat all the cheese in the fridge when you are out the house, so i recommend that he is kept out of the kitchen. He also Hates cats, although we do not have cats he has shown a dislike when watching thundercats and guess with jess on ceebeebies so im not sure he would like to meet a real cat.

Folksy friday - Hair Flair

2010-04-22T10:26:00.000-07:00

Ive decided to do my folksy friday on hair accesories. I have been looking for the perfect hair clip for ages and ive narrowed it down to these six.

i will buy one of these after reading comments so let me know which one you like or you think would suit me as i really cannot decide.

i have dark red dyed hair, which ive started wearing to the side in a plait, and usually wear dark boring clothes so i could do with something to brighten me up a little!

and have a browse around their shops.

They all have some fantastic items!

If i had dream hair like this i would definately buy this beautiful hair comb from new folksy seller - The sweetest things by Jodie Ann.

2010-04-20T13:47:00.000-07:00

I have just brought some new bits to experiment with and hopefully i will make some lovely new jewellery.

i want to make some hair slides and some super cute necklaces. These were from etsy, was hoping to find someone selling these in larger quantities in the uk but i havent been able to find any.

i also brought these little glass bottles and im not sure what i am going to do with them but they looked cute. Just hope i get a few sales on folksy soon to justify some of my spending!

Latest owl bag

2010-04-09T11:14:00.000-07:00

commission Owl bag

2010-04-04T14:16:00.000-07:00

This is my latest work, a custom owl bag. It is for one of my friends who wanted a bag making in purple. This has taken me alot longer than i'd hoped so i was so pleased to finish it today.

Mainly because my sewing machine has decided it no longer wants to work and has been breaking thread and missing stitches. On friday it nearly ended up in the rubbish but i stayed calm and took it all apart, cleaned it all then re greased and oiled it which has seemed to help a little. But it is still being very tempermental. I did manage to find a manual for it online today so im pleased about that as i've desperately been wanting to try free hand machine sewing, but i wasnt sure which setting to use. so hopefully after i get it working properly again i can give it a go. I also made a coffee pot warmer which was bit of an experiment, it isnt exactly how i imagined but will hopefully keep my coffee pot lovely and warm! looks lovely snug i think!

my favourite quote

2010-04-02T14:01:00.000-07:00

"Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.”
