Myth & Magic #Etsy

Myth and Magic hasn`t appeared on here for a long time and this time it is wonderful Etsy crafts. I just put Myth and Magic into the search and this is what I found. There were an amazing amount of delightful goods to choose from but as always I had to stop somewhere.
I don`t know about you but I love to see cute dragons and unicorns, fairies, witches and wizards and all things mythical or magical. I think it`s the child in me coming out, I find all these things irrisistable.
I hope you enjoy my choices as much as I enjoyed discovering them.
There are so many that would make a wonderful talking point for guests in your home and make you smile to see it there too.
Yesterday I was at work but still found a little time for crochet before I went and of course at lunchtime too. I am working on some new gloves, fingerless ones that are often called wristies. I showed them off at work today and they loved them much to my delight. It kind of makes it worthwhile when others like your creations.
You won`t see anything of mine on here today as I don`t have anything that goes in with todays theme.
On a different note it is my little grandsons 3rd birthday today, he is the youngest and growing up fast. This evening I will be there to help sing Happy Birthday and of course to eat cake. Well it`s kind of compulsory for birthdays isn`t it. Please don`t tell me it isn`t because I don`t want to hear that at all.

ENJOY!!!

Without all the myths and the magic
much of life would be very tragic.
A sprinkling of fairy dust makes it worthwhile
and has the power to bring a smile.
A majestic unicorn standing proud
certainly stands out from the crowd.
A wizards wand, what could you do with that?
Maybe produce a rabbit from a hat.
A wizard with a book of spells
I wonder what stories he tells.
A cute little dragon, just a baby.
Don`t you want to know if maybe
he`d like a friend to sit beside,
to have along for the ride?
For dressing up, a dragon suit,
now doesn`t that look so cute.
A fairy house standing tall.
Want that? It`s your call.
Fairy wings, a hat and potions
could they turn into lotions?
A dreamcatcher, a ring and beautiful art,
all things from which you won`t want to part.
Bring some magic into your life,
it`ll be sure to lessen the strife!

Winter Accessories #Handmade #Folksy

What to have on here today? Hmm.... I really don`t know... Any ideas?
Okay I have had a look and of course what to have is staring me in the face. It`s winter and it`s bloomin` cold... well feezing actually so it makes sense to have some winter accessories. Don`t you think? I know lot`s of people will already have theirs but with the sudden downturn in temperature you might be wanting some more. Or you might have got a new coat and would like matching accessories.
Let`s face it, if you look good on the outside then you feel good on the inside. There are so many different and beautiful designs available that it`s nice to ring the changes too. Then of course there are the inevitable birthdays coming and going that gifts are needed for and where better than here.
I make it easier for you with a nice selection of handmade goodies to choose from and if they aren`t quite what you are looking for then just pop over to each of the shops for even more choices.
Yesterday, you will be shocked to know, I was busy. Doing up parcels for the post office, printing receipts etc, sorting out letters and bank stuff too. Then with my youngest grandson in tow we headed out. We also did some food shopping in two different places and got bird food too.
My grandson insisted he wanted to go to Nanny`s house so he had lunch with us too and enjoyed a very gooey cake he had picked out at the supermarket. By the time his Mum came to get him he was quite weary bless him.
I also had a trip to the dentist for a check up. He also replaced a filling I lost a few days ago too. It was all totally painless and very easy and soon done. Yay!!
I had hoped to take some photos of all the completed things I have done but unfortunately I didn`t get that far. Hopefully today will be bright too and I`ll get them all done, fingers crossed.

Daffodil Delight #Etsy

As yesterday was such a grey day in my part of the world I decided to look for some sunshine colours. Having seen a blog with daffodils the other day and thought how pretty it looked I decided that daffodils was possibly the thing to go for. I was going to look on Folksy but that was where the items for the other blog came from so I decided to pop over to Etsy and see what a search produced.
Can only say WOW!! An amazing amount of Daffodils popped up. They all looked so sunshiny that I decided there and then that it was a definite. They were all just too irrisistable and the bright colour was just what I needed to combat the grey.
I hope you enjoy my choices as much as I enjoyed selecting them and that they give you a much needed boost of brightness on this Monday too.
Yesterday I did some housework. Yes I know it`s not good to keep mentioning that nasty word, but once it is done I am so releived it`s in the past that I have to brag about it. Though I do have to say that I would much rather be crafting.
My crocheting is rather exciting at the minute since I made up the new stitch. It`s fun trying out different things in it. The fingerless mitts are still not finished, the second one wasn`t quite right so I`m redoing it. They are done in the same yarn as the scarf in that pattern, so I might see what a hat looks like in it next.
Perhaps I could take a photo so you can see the finished effect of the pattern. I love it and am really enjoying it. nothing more exciting and fun than discovering something different. I always love trying out different ideas and I am getting really good about finishing things off. I don`t have much of a to do pile, only a couple of half made things, which is pretty good for me. Although I might just take them out and redo them in the new stitch. Hmm... that`s actually a pretty good idea. Or I could play around and make up something else..... No, not yet, still having fun with this one.
Anyway enough waffle, else I`ll never got round to adding pics and a rhyme.

It has been very oh, so grey
that I wanted sunshine here today.
Daffodils are just the thing
enough to make the heart sing.
Standing tall, proud and bright,
they make such a lovely sight.
They remind us Spring will soon be here,
their appearance makes it very clear.
Their trumpets don`t make a sound
as they breach the warming ground.
They make me think of sunshine
so gorgeous, vivid and very fine.
It`s good to brighten a Monday morning
because the working week is dawning.
We all need a little cheer
the sort that doesn`t come from beer.
Right now the cold is biting
and we are all fighting
to wrap up well and stay warm
to keep on top of our form.
Anything that keeps you cheery
will stop you feeling weary.
So have a laugh and a smile
it`ll keep the cold away for a while!
