No chocolate!

I have been making and gathering some seasonal essentials.

Just the usual... lambs, bunnies, chicks ...

but no chocolate as I can't be trusted 

and I don't want to peak too soon.

My troll's Valentine market was cancelled 

so I'm giving them another chance...

with some bunny love for our Easter market.

You can't keep a good troll down.

I'm thinking chocolate cake this year as I've been such a good girl.

Have you peaked too soon?

Show me the bunny

I'm sorry I have no eclipse photos, it was too cloudy...

but it's the first day of spring here so can I show you some bunnies instead?

Bunnies ...

in bandanas...

with bob tails.

Best buddies...

but will they breed?

I hope your sap is rising and remember...

Panic over...

magic machine fixed,

photographic memory restored ...

phew...

so while I do a happy dance would you like to catch up

on my makes?

 It won't take long...

Tea towel totes

Shabby shoppers 

Sewing box makeover...before

after...

with secret drawer...

Horse restoration...(you would have been impressed

if you'd seen the 'before' pic that I forgot to take!)

and finally...

Doll makeover...(you would have been impressed

if you'd seen the 'after' pic that I forgot to take!)

They both went to new homes last Saturday but you can just see them

on our table top shop... next to the pink troll.

speaking of trolls...

ooppps...

and I'm going for gold!

Can I just pass on some wise words?

BACK UP YOUR FILES!

Computer says 'No'

Bad news...

I've had a catastrophic hard drive failure !

I'm just camping out on my daughter's laptop for now but

I think I've lost all my photos.

Good news...

I've got a new camper van...

and it's spring!

I really miss this place... hope to be back soon.

The Heaving Pile

We must downsize the family home

And clear the clutter that we own.

It's time to find a cosy pad,

Where we can be just Mum and Dad.

And so today, I made a start,

I tried to make some pretty 'art'.

I chopped a linen cloth in two

And made a mess with residue.

My hoarding ways have got to stop

Before the Mister blows his top.

I must reduce this heaving pile,

I may be gone for quite a while.

Don't go breaking my heart

I have been making love tokens like a woman possessed

and now our Valentine's market is cancelled!

I wouldn't mind but I don't even like Valentine's day

so I'm going to stop stuffing hearts (they are addictive)

and hope that all this love will keep warm for Mother's day.

I Made a Poem

I like making stuff,

And messing with glue.

I love to stitch and sew,

I like knitting too.

Don't forget crochet

And a little rhyme.

We need another verse

But I can't make time!


Crafty ways make poetic days.
