My latest wee needle felties are all in shades of yellow, some wi’ buds and fancy veined leaves and some just fat and simple, hope you like them?
As usual, they are available for purchase in my wee Folksy Shop
a handfull of new brooches in jolly bright colours have just been added to the wee planetaye Folksy shop – away and stop by for a browse 😉
Here… have a keek at my latest selection of needle felting. I have put these pieces up on my wee planetaye folksy shop… enjoy! 😉
the pics below are of bonnie blossom brooches – wee flower hair clips (‘alligator’ type) – larger blossom brooches – and small/tiny hair clips (‘snappy’ type)
 
Listed my remaining big blossoms on the wee Folksy shop and found my photy of the small fry in their cabinet at Runcorn Framers along side my cupcake and pirate earrings – nice!
So where on earth did all that time go? Happy new 2013 to one and all!
Went off up the hill this morning to take a photy of the bleak owing to the dull light and foggy conditions. Nothing too exciting to see however but found a wee bit of colour and an unexpected primrose. In fact it looks like there will be a super bank of them later on. Cheers!
A wee sneaky peek at some of the wee, tiny things I’m putting in the craft cabinet at The Brindley this weekend. I’m really pleased how these turned out. 😉
After treating myself to a nice book (100 Flowers to Knit and Crochet) I found it difficult to stop. But I also had to get a wee encyclopedia of crochet since I’m still a novice with the single needle. I have tied the primroses into a wee posy that sits neatly inside a new Ikea shot glass, the shamrock and thistle are single testers and I did already have some appropriate colours handy. Overall pretty pleased with making flowers and can sit watching telly whilst getting on with a few leaves.
The hinged frame is covered with a set of floral stamps, I really should give it an other coat or two of varnish but one will do for now I think. Patience is not my strong suit when it comes to watching paint dry!
Here are the latest six goodies planetaye has put onto the wee Folksy shop. Pretty peg faeries all got up in their party wings and lotsa jolly pens to practise the old snail-mail thank-you letters, hope you like…
Speckled Wood butterfly, behaving exactly as described here.
Very fluttery and quick but I stalked them till they sat still for a moment. The male could be chasing another male or a female, either way they make a wee walk more fun., ‘specially the bit where you lean too far over the edge of the path and nearly slide downhill into the undergrowth… eek!
Another spring, and despite the “smog” took a set of photys around the top of the hill. Comparing them with those from last year (about a fortnights difference), the same plants are out but there might be a bit of cross over with the primroses still in flower.
After ten years I have finally caught the fabled Duke of Argyle’s Teaplant, the winter conditions and the warm dry spring must have prompted it into flower. Or I have just wandered past it for all those years? Nahh!
The number of orange tailed bumblebees took me by surprise too. At first I was sure that only one was following me around till I came to the whins – there were more than a dozen of them! but would they sit still for me, of course not.
I have included the sign describing the castle, click on it for a large, readable version.
And here is the song Another Spring performed by Nina Simone… enjoy
I have to admit that last years photys were brighter and more colourful. Sunnier day, or sunnier photygraffer?
