Jeniffer's DO......

So Jeniffer's having a bit of a do at her's..... it's a Mother's day/Easter, handmade, vintage, craft, gift, evening....

You know, I can clearly remember us talking & planning this, when we were packing away our Christmas things we'd made, at the last 'DO' there,... & it only feels like a few weeks ago....!!!!!
Annnny-waaaayy...

With this in mind, here's some of my bits & bobs I've been working on...
More pictures to follow, I'm afraid the poxy battery ran out on my camera, so I'll add them when I have 'em....


Handmade 'Home Garland'


The finished packaging for the garlands


Note-lets made from a mixture of paper &
children book images, hand stitched onto card....


Bunnies, Chicks & Hearts of Easter dec's for a display.....

A BIG BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE


A BIG THANK YOU...

To everyone for nominating me for lots of Blog awards, I really do appreciate the kind thought, & I don't want to seem ungrateful in anyway...but I'd like to keep my Blog.... 'an award free place'

I hope you understand there's nothing personal in this...
Once again a BIG thanks....

Garlands....

I made these garlands the other day...
I love the chalky finish, & chunky words, along with the 'deckchair' like ribbon, which I have made out of light weight clay...
I think they'll work well tied along a dresser, or along a fire place...
Am working on other words too...
& I'll be adding these to my folksy shop in the next few days....
Feedback always appreciated.... :o)

SPRING is in the air...

When Mr Alfie & I went walking this afternoon, there was a whiff of SPRING in the air... with this in mind, here's a sneaky peek, at some Easter & Spring bits I've been working on, still thinking of ways to package & finish these, but I am happy how they're coming together so far....
Hope you all managed to grab a piece of SPRING today....

Sundays & Mr Alfie........

I was reminded recently by a fellow blogger Sarah
just how good SUNDAYS really are....
Reading the Sunday papers
Walking The Mr Alfie
Toasted Crumpets with Honey
Listenin' to Micheal Ball, closely followed, by E P,
& Paul O Grady on good old.... BBC Radio2
Whilst cooking toad-in-the-hole......
Lighting the wood burner, & snuggling up on the sofa..
(the very best-ist bit)
Nope, it doesn't get much better than that.....
Hope you have a great Sunday people....
