Goodness

There's been so much of it lately. It seems to go hand in hand with blogging don't you think?

Some swaps

A box for socks from Button Tree Lane. Seriously, if you don't have a 'sunnyboy' or a 'box for socks' get yourself to Michelle's shop.

An abundance of gorgeous greeting cards and tags from Percival Road Designs (that I haven't managed to take photos of). Below is an example of her work though.

I love the way Anastasia puts colours together, and combines vintage and new. Her blog too is a constant delight.

Some purchasing


A pretty needle case from Selina's Vintage. I saw the one that CurlyPops picked up and popped straight over to Selina's shop to get myself one. It was one of those things that I'd been saying I was going to make for so long. It was lovely to treat myself and to support someone else's creativity.


I've been wanting one of Dear Fii's wristlet pin cushions since I saw them at the Stitches and Craft Show in March. Finally pressed the purchase button and I can't wait for it to arrive. I think I'll just wear it all the time, it's so pretty. Have you checked out all the great things happening for Fi lately. She's a rock star I'm telling you, and I'm so excited for her.

Some awards


This one from Emma Lamb the crochet queen. She has us all on the edge of our seats with some secret squirrell business that she's not telling us about yet.


And this one from Page 63 of your manual

Thanks ladies

I'm ever so grateful for all the Tinnie love over the last few days. Here, here, here and people purchasing the last of the Tinnies over in the shop.

I'm really feeling the letting go of the Tinnies. They were my first foray into making a living from my creativity. An enormous and exciting first step. I read this post over at Sparrow Salvage yesterday about letting go. Go and read it if you have time. It says it all.

Just to top it all off, in 2 sleeps I'm off to Sewjourn with my crafty posse for a weekend of stitching, chatting, eating and relaxing.

Thanks universe for all the goodness.

    Too jealous for words over your Sewjourning but I expect reports of extreme chocolate consumption. Fi's wristlet is not a pin cushion at all - it's precious jewellery!

    What a healthy attitude. I don't know why we tend to think that things will go on forever but I know I do. Sometimes we have to let go and it's always a wrench. The tinnies were just a springboard for you and now you're off and flying!
