I had a browse through the last few days and in the shops to pick out some of my favourites. Hope you like them as much as I do.
You can tell that Christmas is getting closer as the sales have really picked up now for many of the shops. Lot`s of people are getting into high gear for present buying, either that or treating themselves. It`s great to see so many suporting the small businesses and buying handmade. Makes sense too, as you get a great good quality item for a good price, that you won`t see anywhere else.
Not to mention that it`s a lot less hassle than trekking round the shops and waiting in long queues. That`s certainly a big attraction for me.
Yesterday I was at work, watching the sky constantly turning dark, seeing alternating rain and hail with the odd bit of sleet mixed in and boy was it cold.
Today I shall be busy crafting, hopefully sewing together some more needle books. Well two anyway, as I have two felted pictures finished. One of the two previously listed needle case pictures is already on it`s way to a new home, so I decided I ought to get a couple more made up as the needle felted pictures are ready.
If it`s bright enough I shall take a few more pictures of new creations. Managed to get a whole load done on Friday and was very pleased with my efforts.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!
very low temperatures this morn.
Winter has very quickly appeared
too quickly and as bad as I feared.
I`m hearing much talk of snow
too much too soon, what a blow.
Looks like the winter will be hard and long
Starting so early, it`s just wrong.
Don`t mind bright days of frost
trying not too count the cost.
Heating on, needing it now
as to nature we must bow.
She`s flexed her muscles quite a bit
seems to have had a seasonal fit.
Too many grey days of late
while I sit here and wait
in the hope of a nice surprise
in the shape of a sunset or sunrise.
I miss seeing the morning show
or the colours of the evening glow.
A few clear skies would be just great,
hope I don`t have too long to wait!!
