the butterflies & the bees.

i heart...


favourite friday.

this week at work consisted of making egg box caterpillars, paper mache ladybirds, pipe cleaner spiders, finger paint worms and symmetrical painted butterflies.

i love my job.

so much so it doesn't even feel like a job. nothing better than getting paid to be a big kid. maybe apart from the changing of smelly nappies & the trying to stop kids from eating their own bogers part.

anywho, keeping in with the creepy crawly theme this week i heart... 



this not so creepy or crawly butterfly brooch from The Night Owl.

this saturday they will be selling their beautiful products along with 40 other lovely crafters, designers & artists at the Made In The Shade Summertime Hop.


i am proper gutted that i'm not able to make this, but you should be sure to have a swatch at all they have planned at their summery extravaganza.

and as if that wasn't enough crafty-ness for one weekend, this sunday Granny Would Be Proud have an event organised as well, where my favourite wifey Betty Swollocks will have a stall, among many others.

i am very excited, but very worried about the non-existent bank balance i will undoubtedly have by the end of it all.

xox.

favourite friday.

i heart...


favourite friday.


i don't know about you, but i am well & truly fed up of the crappy weather we've had this summer.

what happened to the summers we used to get when i was wee? summers that i would spend entirely in water, whether it was paddling in the burn beside the woods behind my house, swimming in the freezing waters of loch morlich, or chasing waves at the beach near my granny & granda's house. summers that i would actually have to wear suncream & still manage to go back to school after the holidays and win the sun tan arm test amongst my classmates. summers that i seemed to live off twisters & mr freeze 10p ice poles.

these days summers consist of me still being surrounded by water, but nowadays it all falls from the sky, my arms & the rest of me are peely wally & i have to drink fruit tea to warm up.

so to pay tribute to our rainy summer, this friday i heart...




this 'right as rain' brooch from Kitschen Sink, the perfect accessory to this soaking scottish summer.

xox.
