dingle!!!!, yay!, hope you're doing ok?!

well, i've just freaked myself out, it's taken me ages to photograph stuff this morning and i'd just started uploading to etsy, but stuff was disappearing. puzzled, i'm sat here wondering, where is it going?, i'm uploading, but its not appearing as a listed item.

simple answer... they had already sold! , 2 owls gone already, only been on there for 2 mins!!

it's happened again, another 2 things gone before they've even made it into the shop

dior, it's a butterfly rofl,

jeangenie · 05/06/2008 14:11

LK that's fab - not surprised though as you stuff is very beautiful

thanks for tip on sewing tin - after I saw it I remembered they stock them in little shop down the road so I ran down to have a look. Apart from the fact that they were charging £3 more I liked it, but is quite tiny and quite packed with stuff already whereas I wanted to put some of my own bits and pieces in there...thanks for the tip though

in the end I have ordered from letterbox some of those cardboard suitcases (thanks for idea NBG) and just had a ball on habbyworld.co.uk putting together all sorts of stuff. Gotta make her needlebook now and I think I am sorted - just hope the stuff arrives in time now...

Gosh things on here move quick whenever i turn my back !

ranting - is the size ok then ?? The fasten was one 'recycled' from 'unloved' bracelets sent by Gingermonkey!! (lets see if she notices!!

Dingle I will ask DS (he's playing at next doors at the mo), he still oves getting thigns through the post so I am guessing he will say yes - it's just hard getting him to sit down & write something!

Dior I haven't yet but will try today, I have loads of thigns to put on - including the craft fair stuff

(not enough hours in the day!)

Nbg · 05/06/2008 14:47

Blimey LK!
Thats brilliant!
That must be such a boost to go and make more.

I was thinking of you last night. I was trawling through Etsy and found a teeny tiny little felted bird in a tiny nest.
Its soo cute

Hi Dingle!

Well my plan to crack on with the dolls while dd was at preschool got scuppered.
Just as she was getting her stuff together, I got this almighty pain in my stomach that completely floored me.
Its only just gone off now and dh has just gone to collect dd
Dont know what it was but it bloody hurt!

I'll see if I can get something done now.

champs · 05/06/2008 15:20

sold another owl!, guess i'd better make some more!

our mower is so knackered, it's just taken me an hour to cut the grass, maybe i'll use my profits to replace it

Whizzz · 05/06/2008 18:11

Dingle DS says yes! Have you still got our addy, if not drop me an email & we can sort out who will write first!

Whizzz · 05/06/2008 20:06

I have blogged, well half blogged - still have some photos to sort out

meridian · 05/06/2008 20:22

well I have added 3 of the book pages to my etsy shop...

will see if there is any intrest before i add anymore... I have a massive headache now and DH is in the kitchen...ALONE... I just can't leave him there...

ranting · 05/06/2008 22:08

Hello,
Meri, I love those pages, they are gorgeous, LK, your reputation precedes you.

Nice to see Dingle and Champs back (and has Greebos Whiskers gone awol again, haven't seen her for ages).

Yes, Whizzz the length of the bracelet suits it because it's chunky, I think it would have looked daft it was shorter, so it's the perfect size. Didn't occur to me at the time of ordering (duh), although I think you might have been trying to tactfully tell me that in your email. I now have the beginnings of a bracelet obsession, had a rummage through my wardrobe and picked which bracelet went with which dress/outfit this morning. Will try and get pics of both up on the blog tomorrow.

misty i'm trying to get my head round how you manage to work nights and be a full time mummy and craft!
you must be knackered?

mistypeaks · 06/06/2008 11:23

very.
zzzzzzzzzzzz
To be fair - I haven't done any much crafting for a bit.

jeangenie · 06/06/2008 11:35

ah misty - look forward to your lovely w/e pottering about covent garden and going out looking splendiferous...hate to hear you feeling down

we are off camping at lunchtime. ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...all join in the empty laughter please...I know where I would rather be...

mistypeaks · 06/06/2008 11:45

I am!! Not sure about splendiferous, but wearing something beautiful (Dior's bracelet) is certainly a start. Looking forward to Covent Garden as well.
Enjoy the camping. We love it. We're taking dds for the first time later on in the year (eek)

Nbg · 06/06/2008 11:53

Dizyy and Miaou, I've posted the fabric. Sorry its been so late.
Also have refunded you both some money as it wasnt as expensive as I first thought.

lucykate · 06/06/2008 11:53

happy camping jg, we're off to liverpool later to visit my mum, i hate traveling on a friday as it's so busy but can't be avoided, dh has a portrait sitting nearby in the morning, so we have to go tonight, am just packing a little bag of crafty stuff

meridian · 06/06/2008 11:55

new blog post

ok I have totally forgotten everything I was going to write as I jsut got a call from a friend and now i have gone totally blank.

Misty-- I find that my crafting comes and goes... I am intensly addicted to these little page paintings but havne't done much else to be honest.

jeangenie- I didn't know you DID camping... DH won't go camping, his idea of camping is a 3 star hotel.... I don't mind so much.. as long as its not raining...

Dingle · 06/06/2008 14:41

Hi again ladies. I haven't done much crafting at all but my likkle craft room is very slowly coming together. I have ordered some storage for my scrapping papers and eagerly awaiting it to arrive. Take a peek here

I am now on the look out for some cheap but pretty jars or storage cannisters that I can use for my flowers and ribbons. Has anyone seen anything on their travels please?

mistypeaks · 06/06/2008 14:51

Ikea always have cheap plain glass kitchen storage cannisters. You could use glass paint on them. I think it was Miaou did similar with a jar for change (?!?!) If you do it though a word of warning . . . Do not post the pictures at the weekend, some strange drunk woman will leave
