Navy Blue #Etsy

Another selection of delectable delights from the Handmade by Me team on Etsy. If you see their logo on a shop then those items are all handmade by the seller and not bought in after being made elsewhere.

Yesterday I had my youngest two grandsons while my daughter was working which was really nice. They educated me on the joys of Minecraft, a computer game, for those that don`t know. Although I have to say that I`m fairly sure most people have heard of it as I have even heard it being talked about whilst I have been out and about.
I`m not sure that I am any the wiser about the aims of the games apart from killing weird things. Looking at such things I can understand why violence is on the increase and these particular games are aimed at the young ones.
We soon came to the conclusion that it was boring and decided on a bus trip into the city. Luckily it stopped raining and we wandered through some toy shops and had lunch out before returning home.

Today we have Navy Blue
all here just for you.
It used to be boring
sending everyone snoring.
Not any more I have to say
just look at what we have today.
Amazing, gorgeous and just stunning
these will really have you running
for that well worn piece of plastic
for these delights that are fantastic.
Well why not have a little treat
after being rushed off your feet?
You survived the Christmas season
as if you even need a reason.
I have to say I think you`re due
something lovely that`s just for YOU!!

Beautiful Handmade #Etsy

Found this gorgeous treasury from the Handmade by Me team and thought you would all like it too.

Yesterday I was having fun crafting. I decided I wanted to have a go at felting soap. I looked on the internet at several different sets of instructions and then decided to have a go.
So I got the soap and the wool and then decided that I didn`t want to do a plain one, that I wanted to make a pattern of some sort. I needle felted a heart on the first lot of wool and hoped for the best.
I then cut a length off the leg of a pair of tights, wrapped the wool round the soap and tucked it inside. Then it was under the hot tap to soak it before agitating it for a while, then under the cold tap. I did this for a while until the wool felted together, then squeezed the water out and left them to dry.
I was really pleased with my efforts.

Here it comes, the new morning,
night is going, day is dawning.
The moon is riding high
as it sails across the sky.
Colours hint at a lovely surprise
as the sun pushes up for sunrise.
Here it comes spreading pink,
it will turn to red soon, I think.
Red next then into orange quick,
it`s changing colours in a tick.
The wind is rising, starting to blow
clouds appearing to cover the glow.
Everything happening so fast,
the beautiful dawn didn`t last.
Now here comes the promised rain
so heavy there`ll be flooding again.
We had just two days of sun
now that interlude is done!!

Gorgeous Greens #Etsy

So Christmas is just a memory now that we are half way between Christmas and New Year. Do you celebrate New Year, have a party maybe? Or do you prefer to stay in, away from the crowds and see it in quietly?
I thought we`d have some greens reminiscent of a walk in the forest with all manner of shades. I hope you enjoy it.

Yesterday afternoon I got lost in my needle felting. I have several soft sculptures on the go so I decided it was time I got on with them. I`ve been making these since well before Christmas. Each one takes a lot of time to make so I make them in stages. 5 hours on I had managed to finish one, it was already well on the way and made inroads into another that was half finished.
I`ve also just done some more needle felting, reminded of it by this blog post. Oooops, that won`t get this post written. It is just so fascinating though especially the finishing, which is the face and hair. Suddenly the character seems to emerge, which is probably why I leave the face till last.
Okay, enough of that, time to write the verse, else I`ll be here all night.

ENJOY!!!

I can hear the wind blowing,
there are no stars glowing
in the dark of night
not much of a sight.
An odd lighted window
giving off a golden glow.
Outside the wind is bitter
inside still a tinsel glitter.
First festivities are gone,
New Year is the second one.
After that comes the long wait,
hoping that spring isn`t late.
Before we have shoots of green
the winter weather will have been,
Maybe we`ll have some snow
to set each face all aglow.
To make the landscape bright
all covered in pristine white!!

Snowflakes Falling #Etsy

I decided you might rather enjoy all these gorgeous snowflake creations from Etsy. It was a treasury that I made and it seemed appropriate for the time of year.

Yesterday I was searching for something in my stock and couldn`t find it. So I got the whole lot out as well as most of my wool and had a good sort out. It was very satisfying once it was done. It has made me decide though that I need to reduce the amount of stock I keep and I will be adding a lot to the Clearance Sale Section of my Etsy shop.
So if you are seeking a bargain look no further. If there is something you really like in my shop that isn`t in the sale, Make me an Offer. No reasonable offer refused!! I really do need to cut down on stock.

ENJOY!!!

When snowflakes are softly falling,
the warmth of the fire is calling.
Under the snowy layered world
plants and seeds are safely curled
beneath the cold blanket of white
a covering that`s feather light.
Oddly it keeps the earth warm
for plants sleeping in their dorm
awaiting the warmth of spring
when birds will once more sing.
Children will shriek with delight
at the wondrous wintery sight.
Despite the cold of the day
they`ll happily run and play,
with their cheeks all aglow
as they enjoy the winter`s snow!!
