Mondays Featured Seller

Today I decided to feature Donna from Cute Designs

Alex, my daughter, is Donnas biggest fan and got 3 of her monkeys from Santa, then purchased another one with her Christmas money! She made them their own bedroom, each with a bedcover with their name on it and even took them away with her this weekend.
,Donna makes cute, kawaii things especially plushies and amigurumi.

This little cutie is one of the monkeys that Alex so adores - Minty


Another sweetie is this Amigurumi Red Leaf Rustler


And finally, my personal favourite, Teddy Loveless


So check out her shop to find lots of gorgeous cuties!

Friday Roundup

Since Christmas and the New Year I've been working with spring in mind. I'm not so sure that buyers are ready for the spring colours yet though, as I still seem to be selling the blacks, silver and browns of winter.

One of my new spring bracelets is this Hot Pink and Purple Memory Wire Bracelet


I've used the same pink pearls in this Hot Pink Bubbles Bracelet


And finally,something a little less vibrant! This Tropical Bubbles Pearl Bracelet

Adjusting to January

I hate, detest and loathe January with a passion. I actually start to dread it from about the middle of September! It's the short days, the bad weather, the empty shops after all the glitz of Christmas and especially, the taking down of the Christmas trees and lights.

Every year I tell myself it's only a few short weeks and to get over it. But unfortunately, every year I succomb and feel lousy.

I've been trying not to let it get to me but as usual I've been feeling ugh, hence the lack of blogging or anything very much constructive happening so far this week. However, tomorrow me, Andy and the kids are going to this gorgeous place for the weekend.

Two nights at the The Bushmills Inn, bought and paid for with my Etsy earnings. I surprised Andy on Christmas Day with it and he was really shocked, as it's a place we have wanted to stay for ages. So I'll let you know next week how we got on :)

Front Page!

I was delighted the other morning to log on and see my treasury on Etsys front page. My whole mindset has moved onto spring, even with the wind and snow outside, and this one was shades of duck egg blue.

Happy New Year!

Ok, so my blogging has been non existant for a couple of weeks, but I really want to wish you all a very happy, peaceful and prosperous 2010!

My new years resolution, which I'll probably break within a week are as follows -
1. Eat more greens (ugh!)
2. Drink less wine (double ugh)
3. Be more organised with my paperwork.
4. Blog regularly

I'd love to hear your resolutions and if you think you'll keep them :)
