Just wondered if anyone else had been into Next a lately.

Popped in the other day and found this little beauty. This statue was just calling out to me :)

Next seem to have some sweet home ware things in at the moment, they are worth a look and it's not too badly priced either.

I have been busy making and crafting again and popped a few more things in my Folksy shop.

 Click on the link on my sidebar if you want to browse my Folksy shop.

Different tins with Tilda stickers with 3 traditional pegs inside, each with 1 metre of different lace on them.

I have also made another doll, this time she is reversible.

Always wanted this type of doll when I was little but never ever got one, my friend had one and I was so jealous!

I was also lucky enough to win another giveaway over at

Poetess Wug's sweet blog

A cute crochet pouch in a gorgeous colour.

If you don't follow already this blog is definitely worth a follow, she's great!

Bee happy ..... create with buttons

On a previous post there was a photo of my button picture.

A few people asked for a close up, so here it is :)

Sorry about the photography but is was hard to get the button heart without a reflection from the glass.

Because this was a box frame from Ikea I decided to put a few bits of ribbon, buttons and thread in the bottom to make use of the space.

Just wanted to show you my new makes, wool cushion and lavender heart.

These are now in my Folksy shop.

I am slowly adding my Winter warmers now to Folksy and Etsy so take a look to see what is in there :)

Bee happy .... the winner is ..

There can be only one .....

I used my new sun hat to put in every one's names for the ribbon giveaway.

I interrupted Mr Happy's TV viewing for him to pick out a name.

The lucky winner of my ribbon stash is ......

LissyLou!

Well done you :) If you can email me your details I'll get the ribbons sent out to you.

I had a lovely giveaway parcel from Poetess Wug last week myself.

A beautiful crocheted scarf with sparkles in the wool.

Thanks Deborah I love it :)

Just need the weather to cool down a bit more so i can wear it! Getting a bit hot wearing it round the house :)

I was looking after my neighbour's cat last week while they were on their holidays and I got a pressie yesterday from them :)

Wicker napkin holder with some CK napkins in.

A bar of thank you chocolate.

and 2 pieces of nougat, had already eaten one before taking the photos :)

I have finished this gorgeous navy fleece throw this weekend as well which I will put in either my Etsy or Folksy shop

I will be sanding, cleaning and painting bedroom 4 this week which is Mr Happy's office so I will catch up with everyone when I need a sit down.

Have a great week everyone.

Bee happy ..... recycle!

Mr Happy was going to give a pair of cargo trousers to the charity shop when I had a good idea!

I thought I would try and make a bag using them and this is the finished product.  Because the fabric is heavy cotton it is great for a bag, hard wearing and soft.

The bag is made of one leg.

It has a pocket on each side of the bag.

This pocket is from the leg of the trousers.

This pocket is from the backside :)

I used ribbon to hide where I had cut the pockets out and to help hold them onto the bag.

I decided it needed a little something else so I used some of my button stash to add

something fancy.  The handle is hessian fabric.

I am going to put this cute bag on Etsy or Folksy me thinks.

Hope you like :)

Bee happy .... let the purchases roll in! and make with Tilda

My Internet shopping is beginning to turn up at last! how slow things take when you are waiting for them!  So far this week I've had by Everything Alice book and now my scrabble tiles.

I found these wooden scrabble squares on Etsy and had to have them :)

Tilda has been keeping me company while I am house bound.

I love her books and the instructions are so easy inside.

I had a go at making a scalloped edge pocket to hold things in.

I used CK fabric but instead of using a hole punched in the back to hang up my bag I used East of India ribbon and a couple of cute buttons.

I've also kept myself busy this week adding a few bits to my Etsy and Folksy shops.

Had to show you this photo.  The bees love the lavender on our newly washed patio and snapped this bee mid air, how cool is that!

Bee happy .... open a shop

I have made that much stuff lately which is stored around the house or on display that husband told me I had to do something about it.

I did, I decided to open a shop on www.folksy.com where people who craft can sell their makes, what a great idea.

If you're interested in looking at my creations you can find me at
