Happy International Women's Day!...

Happy International Women's Day!  In fact Happy New Year as well, hehe.  I realize that I haven't blogged since last year, I'm sorry, I promise to be good and blog regularly from now on!

So it's International Women's Day today and there are some amazingly talented crafty women on Etsy, so I've decided to create a treasury to share some of their work with you =)

It's starting to feel alot like Christmas...

It's that festive time of year again, time to break out the mince pies and mulled wine!  Every year I aim to get the Christmas tree up on the first of December, will I do it this year?  Fat chance I think as I haven't even checked to see if the fairy lights are working and the tree has been stuck in a box for almost a year (it's not a real tree).  Last year I was wonderfully organized when it came to gift buying, but this year Christmas has snuck up on me.  So above is a selection of lovely finds created by my Etsy British Emporia and Craft Britannia team mates and other talented Etsyians that have got me in that shopping mood =)

Tis the season to be jolly...

It's December already and it's time to put the Christmas tree up and start decorating the house.  Maybe you enjoy this time of year differently, everyone has their own way to spend the festive season, so I'll wish you light, warmth and happiness =)

Here are some lovely Etsy picks I've selected for your viewing pleasure, so do have a look at these lovely shops!

I had a busy weekend, but it was lovely to take part in the Crouch End Barboot in Little Paris and to Ashmount Primary School Winter Fair, I even got to help with the decorating of Santa's Grotto =)

The colour of joy......

Hello my lovelies =)  Last night I made this treasury & the thought behind it was warm sunshine.  We had lovely warm sunshine on Saturday.  I'm sure I once read that orange is the colour of joy, I'll have to read up on that later, but I've loved using it in my children's wardrobes and it seemed to be the perfect colour for me to use for this treasury =)

These are a vibrant zesty pair of earrings I've made, I think this colour is gorgeous =)

It's Autumn....

And here are some lovelies for you to feast your eyes on =)  Been busy busy busy since September and without a chance to blog, there just aren't enough hours in the day!  Well it's cold and raining here in London, so why not stick to doing some online foraging and discovering starting with these lovely finds!

Flu Flu go away and Don't come back another day....

I made this treasury when I was still ill and drinking lots of honey and lemon!  It features lots of beautiful creations by some of my team mates and other talented Etsyians =)

Craft Britannia's shop of the week Kitzie G

 

Beautiful botanical inspired designs that would look so at home in Kew Gardens with their refined presence.  The designs are very clean and the assortment of colours is gorgeous.  

 

The designer behind Kitzie G, Laura, in her own words describes her work as being,

"original contemporary and colourful botanical designs are inspired by the natural world - the shapes and silhouettes of plants and flowers, in bud, leaf and full bloom" 

As this weeks Craft Britannia's Shop of the Week, read the Kitzie G interview for a wonderful glimpse behind the scences.
