Item of the Day

Snow and Ice by Silver Soul Design

It seems so wrong to even mention snow and ice in August but that is what I called this necklace, it just seems to fit.

It is made with frosted quartz nuggets, clear crystal beads and a heart shaped pendant, Bali silver spacers, pendant focal and clasp.

Item of the Day-Quilted Elephant Quilt

http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=341846
My mum had bought this fabric to use when my children were babies, but hadn't been able to do it before she passed away. I have finally decided to put it to good use and made this baby quilt. The elephants on the front have been hand quilted. The spotted backing fabric has been machine quilted to the front. Aprox size of quilt is 28"/71cms x 34"/86cms. A matching cushion will soon be available

Item of the Day - Ray Lee - Drawer Refesher


Ray Lee is a sweet little manta ray who lives in your sock drawer and keeps it smelling fresh.

She is crocheted with a little pot pourri bag inside. She also has posable wings and tail and safety eyes.

If you wish, I can make her in any colourway you like. At the moment I have the red/pink and a navy/light blue one ready to go (Yes his name is Blu-ray)

I can also make them without the potporri on request making them into cute toys for younger children.

Newly listed feelgood items


Sometimes, it can be great just to find some items that make you feel good. Just that little personal treat to help you stand up to these tough times.
How about this amazing necklace by Silver soul Design. it's called midsummer flowers and is just breathtaking; perfect for any special occasion


How about something that is cute and also practical? This lovely little purse by Materialised is called "by Moonlight" It's luxury abound with velvet, faux suede and sequins


Then there is a great tote bag that will cheer you up wherever you go. What a great saying; makes me smile. Jenny Karlsson has done it again with another instant classic. "Sanity Calms - but madness is more interesting" a solid dependable bag with real embroidery.

...and finally, we have this wonderful fluffy scarf, handknitted by loopylou in a most glamorous pink. Ladies scarf is just one of the many, many, adorable products you can find that will make you feel like a princess; and we all need a bit of that now and then don't we?
