Hearts & Flowers #Etsy

This was a treasury made for the British Crafters on Etsy treasury challenge. This week we are building treasuries for Colleen of Midnight Star Designs.
Her shop bio says:
A mix of vintage and modern jewellery made by me, created with heart, crafted with soul.
It`s short and to the point but also very true. A browse through her shop is the proof that Colleen crafts from the heart and puts her soul into it to produce beautiful jewellery.
I was at work yesterday and as usual it was non stop. I didn`t get the chance to do any crafting before work but I did do some last night. I am still making gloves to my new pattern and am hoping to get the pattern written down over Easter and then put up for sale.
It will be a bit of a wrench to part with my newest stitch as I haven`t so far seen anything else made in it. From that I have to surmise that no one else has so far discovered it. Still, I`m sure that it`s only a matter of time anyway so I might as well do patterns for it.

ENJOY!!!

Who doesn`t love a flower or heart
when it comes to gifts a very good start.
Fresh flowers are always great
but sadly they suffer the same fate,
too soon they fade away and die
and quickly we have to say goodbye.
Now the flowers here can be yours
they don`t come from the great outdoors.
These all come from a creative mind
and last so much longer, I find.
Now hearts they are a lovely gift,
signifying love, a response is swift.
You have a winner when you mix the two,
bound to stop anyone feeling blue.
For you or someone else, these will suffice
as a lovely gift, which is always so nice,
Off you go, lots of shops to look through
have fun and enjoy as you view!!!

Celebrating Spring #Etsy

Today I shall be returning home from my weekend away, revived and ready to get back into the fray once more. Or at least that is the plan. I should have a nice amount of creations made all ready to be photographed and listed too.
This blog is from a treasury for the Craftyfolk Euro Front Page challenge. The previous weeks winner has an item chosen from her shop for us all to build treasuries around. This is to give extra promotion to the shop and to hopefully get a Craftyfolk team treasury on the front page. If it could be one of mine even better..... I think. Would it be better I wonder, or much better to have an item in the front page treasury? The only thing is, the curator of the treasury mustn`t have any of their own items in it. Hmmm.
Anyway I`m digressing. The treasury....
The winner for this week is Dawn of Lilly`s Altered Attic. Her shop is a wonderful mix of artistic creations and crafting supplies. So really, something for everyone because the crafter always needs supplies and if they don`t need them they tend to be like magpies and collect supplies regardless. I speak from experience here.
Then for the non crafter there are gorgeous pieces of art and beautiful handmade cards. So why not go and have a browse. Do have a browse through all these lovely shops displayed for your delectation today.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
A poem from the last time I went on the train.
ENJOY!!!

Sitting on the train relaxing
nothing to do that`s very taxing.
Well not for me anyway
but for others it`s a working day.
Laptops out and phones going
working hard while to`ing and fro`ing.
A carriage full of children on a day out,
from the next carriage I still hear them shout.
Out of the window the clouds race by,
the sun shines through glass and I sigh.
The steady rythmn of the train
as I stare out the window pane.
My eyelids begin to drift down,
I nod and start with a frown.
It would be too easy to sleep
but I mustn`t, I need to keep
alert and ready for me to hop
off the train when it`s my stop!!
