My view today..

...from my front of the croft, I can see for miles and miles. Put 3 photos together to try and get as much in as possible. It was so quiet here this morning only the sound of birds, the odd moo from a cow and my hens clucking and the cockerals doing their thing. Did I say it was quite? :)
I've had The Draymin playing full blast and I can sing and dance in the garden like a loony and no one can hear or see me, well they might hear me over at the farm lol (thats my exercise done for the day) but now I'm feeling a little homesick. Oh well! not long till I can get back doon to Fife. :)

Right I better get on with some of this work that needs done today and Ive got a wee parcel to post, so a walk to the village with the dogs is on the cards, or will I just drive?  :)

Wow! this has been

..... quite an exciting week.
Sales from my shop have been picking up this week and its so exciting knowing people are buying something that I've designed.or made. I have been sending orders to UK, France, Australia and USA.... I'm international :)
I've added a new range to my shop of Clothes Peg Magnetic Note Holders (fridge magnets). My favourite ones are the Old Ordnance Survey Map design. These come in sets of 6 and will arrive to the customer in a cellophane wrapper, so are ideal to give as a gift. More designs will be getting added to my shop soon.

I have been working on a few ideas I've had and the other day was asked if I made bunting for babies, something that is in the pipeline and will also be coming soon.
I have also taken the plunge and added a few prints of my mixed media creations to my shop, not sold any yet but keeping my fingers crossed :)

Once again I have decided that my craft stash is taking over the house so I have made the heart renching decision to part with anything that has not been used or need in the last year. So when time allows I am slowly listing items on Ebay , most of what I am listing is brand new.......so get on over to  Ebay and grab yourself a crafting bargain.

The weather here for the last few days has been really sunny and hot, not normal for March in Scotland, but we're not complaining. We've had an evening fishing, where I caught nothing and my partner caught a wee trout, which was returned safely into the loch. We're even thinking of having a BBQ and this could happen tonight.

The farm across the lane from me has a new horse in one of their fields so off I went with my camera to get a few photos, the one below is my favourite, and what a lovely friendly horse this is.


Got lots to get through today, so off to be busy busy busy and creative

I really never realised.....

....... just how long it has been since my last post.So much has happened in that time, far far too much for me to waffle on about here to catch up. So we will just start from this week.
I go through phases of blogging every day to blogging once every couple of months. I am however, going to try and blog at least once a week from now on. How hard can that be? I could do it one evening at the weekend while having a wee glass of wine.

My shop on Etsy has been gradually getting stocked with my creations. I have so many ideas going around in my head, it's hard to find time to create them all. I have created a digital download range called Vintage Jubilee, which so far includes bunting, a craft paper pack, sheet of tags, an embelishment collage sheet and bookmarks. All of these are available to buy from my shop now and I will be adding a few other items to this range of the coming week.

I ham pleased to say that to date I have had 3 sales from my shop, with some others favouriting certain items and a few favouriting my shop. This is all quite exciting and I look forward to many more sales.

Mothers Day crept up on me quite fast, which meant making my Mothers Day cards was a last minute thing. For a while now I've been wanting to use stitching on some cards and found this to be the ideal opportunity. So I raided my ribbon and button boxes, and an old summer skirt and top are now in my scrap box to be used in such projects.


These cards were very much appreciated by the mothers that received them and I will be making more card using fabric and stitching to add to my shop.

Well thats all for now..... a little blog is better than no blog!
Got to go and get creative....
I wonder how long it will be till I blog again?  Friday? Saturday? Sunday? :)
