All set


As promised : operation tidy before & after!


With my work space cleared I have begun working on some new designs and am experimenting with some new backgrounds for my product shots. I am looking for something simple but textured, that isn't too distracting from the jewellery. Hopefully by the end of today I'll have decided on the new look and have most of the photos of my current listings on etsy changed.
I really enjoy this part and feel they need freshened up. Hopefully I'll get some inspiration for a new banner too!





A very surprising trait has started to imerge in MrS's character, he keeps finding beautiful pieces of furniture in thrift shops. Until recently he had a very limited interest in how I decorate and would just roll his eyes when I would return from a forage with an old tin, a cup and saucer and an old watering can. But now he is finding little gems, like this beautiful unit! I'm not quite sure hat will finally end up on it, at the moment I'm changing the collections every few days!
things to do today
decide on photo background
re take shop photos
take new design photos
fix photos
hopefully edit excisting listings on etsy
What are your plans for the rest of the week?

I have arrived!

I would like you to meet Annelise, she was born last night at 9.56pm and isn't she cute? She is the first real, live Yibble! I have been wanted to do some more sewing for a while now and keep looking at the beautiful pile of fabric and decided I would create a Yibble and see if that helps me focus on stories/ doodles ect. She is made of linen from namolio and she is stuffed with a cushion I got from a thrift shop. I have spent some time today working on the first of many "Yibble Adventures". And tonight I'm going to watch a movie and make some more of the family.


Now for your imput, what types of adventure would you like to see Annelise go on?





Got some lovely new earrings I'll be adding to the shop over the weekend so pop by for a wee look. And I'll let you into a little secret too, I'm getting ready for an etsy spring sale! More details coming soon.


I went to one of my local thrift shops the ther day to hand some things in and could not resist these 2 little jars. I haven't decided yet what I'm going to put in them, but my bo has been full of useful ideas, his favourite being one for collecting his tummy button fluf! Somehow I just don't think so!

A big hello to all you new visitors to my blog and thanks for enetring my competition. Keep your entries coming, you still have another 16 days to enter. (I know it seems like ages away!)
