I'm a bit Folksy

So I've got a Folksy shop!  I've been a busy busy bee making lots of new things and thought why not open a shop on Folksy?  So I did and here it is!  I spent ages taking the photos for these listings and think they're pretty alright even if I do say so myself and I LOVE some of the others I'm going to list over the weekend.  I'm super duper excited!

I've also finished up my felt balls and made them into a necklace and had some lovely comments for it today when I wore it to work.  I took Alessa's advice and found some small white and clear glass seed beads to separate them and then tied on some yellow faux suede cord and a brass closure.  I love the colours on this necklace and am itching to make some more felt balls now!

Me looking the wrong way holding the camera to take the picture in a mirror to show off my multicoloured necklace

 I realised after taking this picture that I had FINALLY found a tripod for the camera and should blumming well use it.  Well, I put it all together set the timer and the cat stood in front of it as that's always a good place to stand.  I then reset it and thought 'this is taking too long, did I set the timer at all' and it went off so I had a lovely shot of me whirling the camera round.  I then tried again and forgot to set the timer...at this point J took pity on me and came to take a photo of me, I'd been trying to avoid him having to do this, and the batteries run out!  Laugh, I could have cried!  I do sometimes wonder whether my MA is written on that plastic cheese you get in squares...

I also need to say a big THANK YOU to Caroline at Gran Plumley as she nominated me for a Sunshine Award!  I'm so chuffed!
