Rainbows #Etsy

I`ve been doing some rainbow paintings lately as a background for my Inspirational Art. I really love the colours and the effects, doing them in circles and ovals. They make a beautiful and vibrant background to the words and verses.
I`ve also started doing some personalised children`s pictures too. I do think it`s very important that a child`s imagination is stimulated, first with colour from a baby and then with words too as they get older. With today`s lifestyles many children don`t get the opportunity to develop their imagination. Then what will happen in the future, where will the innovators and inventors be?
Anyway, I`m waffling. The point is that doing the painting`s had me thinking continuously of rainbow`s, to the point when I decided that others should share this obsession. So I went exploring to see what rainbows I could find on Etsy. I just love seeing page after page of rainbows, it`s wonderful and amazing to see the diversity of crafts available too.

ENJOY!!!

For a little time magic was in the air
a huge rainbow was hanging out there.
A rainbow, tall, bright and glowing
all the jewel like colours flowing
Red, orange, yellow and green
the most vibrant you have ever seen.
Blue, indigo and violet too
such an array of colour just for you.
For so many it lights a fire
of amazing creativity to inspire
and lifts us to a greater height
motivated by the wondrous sight.
Rainbows only stay for a while
so enjoy the magic with a smile.
Make a wish and hold it tight
as you watch the rainbow bright!!!

New Baby #Etsy

This blog was from a treasury I did for the Craftyfolk teams Shop of the Week. This weeks winner was Susan of Dottie Designs.
Her bio says:

I have bought gifts from Susan/Dottie and they are gorgeous and much admired. As a gift they are definitely something different as well as being useful and beautiful.
Amazingly yesterday was sunny again. Still a chilly breeze but it did seem to be a degree or two warmer.
In the morning I looked after my 4 year old grandson for a while and he decided we should make cakes. He had great fun helping with the mixing and even more fun licking the wooden spoon afterwards. He kept a very careful eye on it while it was cooking and couldn`t wait for it to be ready. We were about to ice it as my daughter arrived, so she waited while it was done and he liberally added sprinkles. Bless him.

Counting those ten tiny fingers
a loving parent stops and lingers.
Then onto the ten tiny toes
the overflowing love shows.
Finally seeing that first gorgeous smile
is better than a lottery win by a mile.
They grab your heartstrings, holding tight
and always you melt at the sight
of tiny hands reaching out to be held
and as a unit, parent and child meld.
Every milestone is a cause for celebration
any and everything from this your creation.
They grow so very fast day by day
and soon you are watching them play.
The first time for a wet sloppy kiss
is so often very hit and miss.
Every moment is a milestone to treasure
as they bring you joy beyond measure.
To create new life is a wondrous thing,
a miracle to make your heart sing!!

Summer Wedding #Etsy

Thought it was time we had a wedding theme today. With the weather improving sporadically people`s thoughts turn to weddings, their own or ones they are invited to.
Summer is of course a very popular time for a wedding as there should be a better chance for a dry day and even, possibly, some sunshine.
Every bride always looks beautiful on her wedding day, it`s something to do with that special glow of happiness that just seems to emanate from her.
There are so many beautiful creations and ideas to make the day extra special and they don`t always have to cost the earth. Looking in handmade can save you quite a bit on high street shops and you get good quality, service and something that bit more special.
Saturday was busy with family and we enjoyed a trip in a punt too. Yesterday was housework and then I got sidetracked with sorting out my wardrobe and cupboards. I was ruthless and ended up with two large bin bags full of clothes. With my holiday looming I may have to do some shopping. Oh dear.

ENJOY!!!

A Wedding day can be such fun
though there`s much to be done.
Before the big day make the decision
that all will go with clockwork precision.
A wedding is about the groom and bride
and learning to flow with the tide.
A marriage is for two people to share
what others think, they shouldn`t care
A true marriage can really set you free
to truly be the best person you can be.
Supporting each other in an exclusive club for two,
a fan club that`s private for the two of you.
It`s about making a future together
withstanding anything the weather
might throw at you through the years
bringing with it laughter or tears.
A marriage that grows ever longer
will weather the storms, growing stronger
as long as you stand together side by side
forever and always the groom and his bride!!
