Things I've made this weekend !

Hello, I have been a little off the radar recently as I have been busy getting home late from work and then spending the rare spare time I have to make things.. which I then blog and put on Flickr. So here are the things that I have made this weekend, I have been sooooo busy, listening to old school 80's and 90's tunes really helped my creative flow................ well I thought so anyway..

Little Fairy artwork

Shabby chic buckets

Paris Ink

Interesting things

English garden


Finished artworks...finally.

Etsy on the brain !

I have Etsy on the brain at the moment, I have so many things and I mean many things that I want to sell on Etsy but I haven't quite got it all how I want. I hate doing things half arsed, which means I sometimes take ages to get going... and this has been occupying a large part of my brain even to the extent that I am making a banner to photograph and use as the shop title and it's nearly done and I also had a bit of a change and went back to bag making and jewellery making this weekend, it was so much fun to spend time doing that again especially as I went to Liberty's London and managed to find the only place that sells Amy Butler fabric in England ! God, Liberty's is such a wonderful store right in the middle of London ( so posh that it has valet parking !) god knows where they park the cars is such a crowded busy place..





I was thinking of setting up another blog to note all the best crafty or arty etc... places in London that I have actually been to for example Ye Olde Curiosity Shop ( oldest shop in London ) which is behind a few back roads at work,The cloth house, one of the most vintage and beautiful old cloth shops in Berwick street London, VV Rouleaux a wonderful ribbon and trimmings shop old fashioned too.. etc etc all these places are a stones throw from me, the only places I haven't come across yet are junk shops. They tend to be collectors outlets so expensive antique shops, although I have heard of some proper junk shops in Greenwich ( will have to check that out ) actually I think I will do that, It would make some gorgeous pictures too especially as I would have to add Covent Garden too which I walk through everyday..



I also have plans to pop over to France every once in a while ( it's only an hour or so away-Euro tunnel or ferry or plane ! wicked ) and do the same there too.. I have a book on Parisian markets that got me started, just think of the finds and the pictures ! Ok I've rambled on enough, I'm off to make plans !

Fun, Fun, Fun !

I am having so much fun making loads of things at the moment, I have found a style and subject to create from, unlike my normal procrastinating I have taken the Bull by the horns so to speak and gone for it.. and I have more in my head that's dying to spill out onto canvas ! As you may notice I am a bit obsessed with birds and this is quickly becoming a sort of trademark of mine ! It's just a shame that there are only 24 hours in a day, actually if I'm wishing for stuff I would wish that I could make lovely things all day instead of going to work in a job I don't want..and sell them in my own little crafty shop !
Also I would like to remind everyone of the 'Mad Crafters Tea Party' this weekend from 12th to the 14th of April... for more info on this go to www.alteredartsociety.blogspot.com
