Ice Cold in Lincoln

Bbbrrrrrrrr

It's been freezing here....... Minus 12 on the temperature gauge in the car the other morning, not nice. Hubby has been out traipsing around fields taking pictures- that's one of his, above, Hartsholme Country Park, which is just down the road from us. Cold as it is, it's also just gorgeous to look at...Lincolnshire is our adopted home, and we both think it is lovely, and pics like this prove it.He has taken about 500 this week, i'll get some more from him to show you at some point.

He has also been taking pictures of my new items for sale, what do you think? Some are going to be listed on Folksy, some are for a craft fair next weekend...i love the ring trees, although they are extrememly fiddly to make, but worth it.

One of the boxes has a decoupaged inside, the other i have painted gold. These are made of very lightweight wood, and are nice and long, perfect for necklaces.

Let's hope the snow melts soon....

Top Ten Wish List...

This is my list of top ten presents that i would love to see in my Christmas stocking :) All of them are from very gifted crafters over at Folksy; take a look at their shops. Click on the name below the picture to go straight to the shops.

Here goes-

1. Any candle from this luurrvveeellyy shop would be welcome in my stocking this Christmas :) I have ordered some lavender ones in tins...two for me and one for my little sis-naughty, i know, but i do light candles when i am coaching, so it's work related luxury :) These snowball ones are so cute!

One Stop Pamper Shop

2.These delicate little foldout books are just breathtaking...as an ex-teacher, i would have loved some of these in my class! Just superb :)

3. I wanna be a steam punk!! I went to an event at Lincoln castle earlier this year, and it was full of people walking around in Victorian garb..Steampunks! They  really caught my imagination and at some point i think i would love to be involved. A perfect excuse to purchase some jewellery from Ruby Spirit Designs..

4.Now these little cuties are right up my street...i love mini things...my idea of a blissful christmas present is a doll's house. Such attention to detail- i love them..they are on my wish list :)

Diddybears

5.Now technically speaking these would not be for me....but anything made from books would be! This is such an ingenious idea! What a clever thing to do....The shop is full of equally clever temptation...

Bookity

6.Now my next fave rave is something that would have to be near the top of my stocking in this weather! I saw one like this in a shop a while ago...but not at a price tag like this! What a treat- handmade luxury at affordable prices...mmm...can feel it snuggled round my neck now...hubby dearest are you taking note?

7.I have had my eye on this print for such a long time...it would go beautifully in my bedroom.I really appreciate the amount of work involved, as my husband has just started experimenting with lino prints.Just exquisite.

Mangle Prints

8.To carry on my obsession with all things small, these tiny notebooks fit the bill perfectly. Any of the notebooks in the fabulous shop would do though...i'm not fussy...hint, hint..

9.I will be needing a business card holder, and i can't think of a better place to buy one from...infact, i will need more than one, and at these wondeful prices, i think i can have them :)

Baggie Agie too

10.Did i mention that i love jewellery? Give me some  dangly earrings and i am a happy girl...make them glamorous ones and i am just in heaven....these sumptuous delights would make an appearance night or day :)
