...and breathe.

favourite friday.

i know, its a bit late in the day for a favourite friday, but i haven't even had a chance to breathe today because i've been super busy. i've spent the day getting bits & bobs ready for the Dundee Jamboree mini-market at the N_ilk festival in Dundee tomorrow. here's a wee peek at some of the craftings i'll have on my stall...

there will be lots of other lovely crafters there including last week's favourite friday - Sketchstitch, as well as hellojenuine, wooden tree, Jolly Good Studios & Tights For Sore Eyes, amongst others.

another awesome maker attending the Dundee Botantic Gardens this (hopefully) sunny saturday is Plastic Bat. & her beautiful bunting necklace is the favourite friday of the week.

hope to see you all in dundee tomorrow, make sure you come say hello :)

me + free-time = crafty weekend.

crafty weekends.

i've been so busy with moving house & work that i've hardly posted any blogposts whatsoever about my own bits & bobs, but last weekend i finally had some time for myself. so obviously i spent it keeping my crafty fingers busy. here are just a couple of photies of some necklaces i conjured up...

i heart...tash & specks necklaces.

i heart...cross-stitch heart necklaces.

to see some more of the thingmyajigs i made have a swatch at my facebook page & i'd be ever so grateful if you could 'like' it too.
let me know what you think of my bits, even if you think they're gash! all truthful opinions are warmly welcomed & appreciated.

fingers crossed that crafty weekends are not so few & far between in the future.

sewing here, there & wherever i can fit it in.

favourite friday.


this week i have become slightly more exhausted & frustrated as each day has passed. although i enjoy my job, (i really have no right to complain about it at all. afterall i do spend the day making jigsaws, painting pictures & playing with cornflour gloop, opposed to most people who spend their 9-5's in front of a soul destroying computer screen.) however, working 40 hours a week, having to get up at 6.30am every morning to catch my bus & having to run about all day with the energy of a 3 year old is starting to get to me.

it's meant that i've had to put my crafting on the back-burner & my dreams of starting my own freelance community arts workshops even further into the distance. but enough complaining. a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

for the time being i will just have to fit my crafting into the little freetime i do have & possibly do some on the go.
which ever so conveniently ties in with this week's favourite friday...

this pretty but also practical necklace made by She Draws.

perfect for sewing on to go, on the loo or on the job & looking awesome at the same time. what more could a busy girl want.

home sweet home.

my new home.

well that's us all settled into our house in the highland countryside. it really is awesome waking up in the morning and being able to sit and gaze at the lovely scenery (you can even see the steam train in the distance when it puffs past) whilst eating my shreddies.

it has been a hectic week so i have been a bit quiet on the blogging front, as well as the fact we don't have the internet in the house yet, which will hopefully be sorted out soon. but me and the boy did manage to have a amazingly chilled out sunday with a walk to the beautiful Loch Garten. with the risk of sounding ridiculously cheesy, daydreaming whilst staring out at the loch with chris at my side, surrounded by piece & quiet, made me even more sure that moving away from the hustle & bustle of Glasgow was the right decision.

i was home.

after our wee sunday walk i got busy with some crafting for my cousin's birthday present. i'm cringing when i write this because i used to hate it when i was wee & 'old' people said it to me, but it feels like just yesterday i went to see her in hospital when she was born. however, bang! 14 years have past! hopefully she liked the anchor necklace and material pouch i made for her.

happy 14th birthday sorrel!
