The UKCPS 18th World of Coloured Pencil Exhibition 2021 currently on at the Pencil Museum in Keswick.
I’m lucky enough to have one of my pictures (Helleborus orientalis) in this exhibition, great to be in such good company! 😊

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 wee Etsy Shop (June 2017)
a handfull of new brooches in jolly bright colours have just been added to the wee planetaye Folksy shop planetaye Etsy shop (June 2017)- 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 planetaye Etsy Shop (June 2017)… 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 Etsy shop (June2017) 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!
