12 days of Folksy. Day 1 - Handmade


Folksy are having a 12 Days of Folksy Challenge, each day covers a different theme, you can find out more on the  Folksy Blog Here. Although it's titled Folksy Instagram Challenge it can done across all platforms, I'm hoping to add it to my Twitter and my Facebook pages, and of course, here on this blog.

Day One is all about Handmade so let me introduce the best place to go for your handmade needs.

Folksy is what handmade is all about, it is the home of British Craft. You can find thousands of items created by artists, designers and makers, knitting, stitching, painting, printing, soldering, sketching, whittling, carving and crocheting in studios and at kitchen tables across the UK.

It's the place to go if you want to give handmade, so why not sit down with a cuppa and have a look through the amazing creations on Folksy - all made by clever hands crafting away across the British Isles.
They have original art and prints for your wall, hand-knitted scarves and gloves to keep you snug, beautiful designer jewellery, studio pottery and handmade ceramics for your table and your shelves, as well as hand-printed cushions, crochet blankets and original textiles and decor for your home, supplies and so much more. What will you discover on Folksy today?

Autumn Hearts

Summer is over and the nights are drawing in, I think it's about time I took control of this blog, got my act together and started writing some posts.

I'm lucky enough to live in a semi rural area and the Autumn colours have taken over my surroundings, just popping out to the shops is a pleasure when the views are so pretty



One of these days I may glimpse a unicorn in the forest,



I often see Deer and Bunny Rabbits 












and the occasional Mr Fox


 but never a Lone Wolf.



All these items can be found in one of my online outlets, all the links are in the side bar if you want to browse.
