Knitting, Tea & Rodney...

Yep, that's all you need for a wet & windy Saturday.  A nice hot drink, some easy knitting and Stargate Atlantis (aka the Rodney show). :)

So that's my Saturday. Anyone else doing anything fun? Let me know...

My room looks very cold and blue here, but that's just the poor lighting from the grey and cold skies (coupled with a slightly overexposed shot, sorry!) it's nice and cozy really. :) And it doesn't usually feature oddly arranged furniture either; I turned the TV around so I could see it from my desk while I was making jewellery the other day, but today I felt like knitting and couldn't be bothered to drag it back around (it's heavy!) so I dragged the chair across the room instead.  (No, I'm not lazy, I'm energy efficient...)

Sorry for the randomness of this post! I am sleepy... :p

Embracing Your Feminine Side...

As mentioned in my last post, I am currently attempting to embrace my feminine side a little more! I spent far too much time in my teens wearing baggy black band t-shirts and sneering at pink... Etsy helps remind me every day that it's ok to like pink!

Here you see a very fine example of why pink is good: oh for spring to come again - a stunningly beautiful print by Carl of buckscountyframes. I love this print, and may well be buying one when I have some spare cash again! Please visit Carl's shop and check out the beautiful environmentally friendly frames...

A Gorgeous Front Page!

Just wanted to share this front page with you today, I love all the items from this gorgeous collection chosen by Agnes of KnockKnocking... I was never a huge fan of pink before I joined etsy, but I'm learning to love it more every day!  :)  I have to say am a bit biased towards this collection because Agnes has included my bracelets (thank you!) but I would love this regardless.  Yay for embracing my feminine side! :)

Tropical Bedroom...

I can't remember where I found this picture now, but isn't it a fantastic bedroom? I love these colours... I'd probably never paint my own room in these colours (mine is a sort of soft duck egg blue), but I do love this picture!

Ethereal...

I absolutely love this print by Lori411, I'm sure I've seen it on the front page a few times now, and I've put it in my favourites list every time!  It's so soft and ethereal, like a dreamy blend of winter and spring... 

Welcome!

Hello! Welcome to my new blog! :) 

A while ago I started up a different blog, one related to one of my etsy shops. I started it with the idea that I would use it to promote my shop and the jewellery I make. A great idea in theory, but who wants to read someone's advertising? Not me! I didn't even want to write it... That's where I realised my mistake - instead of keeping a blog that is essentially a tool for promotion, I should keep a blog that I actually like! Seems like a no-brainer really, but I think it's easy as a seller to get carried away with trying to be successful, and to forget to actually enjoy yourself...

So here we go with a new start! I will post some news from my shops as well, but mostly it will just be filled with random things that I like. I hope you like them too!  :)

 

Mr P welcomes you!
