Hello all, I`m rushing now, I seem to have lost my original draft, I think the machine may have eaten it. There must be a place somewhere that eats much needed pieces of work. This piece had been nearly finished when I tried yet again for the umpteenth time to get it to automatically publish. It actualy appeared as a published piece of work and then vanished. I naively believed that it was archived somewhere, well, hoped anyway. But no, it had gone. Trouble was, I was too tired to keep looking last night and now have got to try and replicate it all.
The blog is once more about the sellers who favorite my shop. This is my way of saying thenk you to them. It` is nice to rediscover those shops and see how their style or even direction has changed. We all have a tendency to change and in crafting it`s no different, we take a different direction with our work, get new ideas and it all changes.
As usual just click on the picture for a description or to go to the shop the item comes from.
Please forgive any glaring errors as I am in hurry today. I am off to London to visit the Vitality show with my younger daughter. A lovely Mothers Day present as we go to something fun and I get to spend the day with her.

Hubby didn`t sleep late yesterday,
to much to do, he did say.
He needed extra sleep to stay bright
because he went to work last night.
Still, the bathrooms coming along
though he`s not breaking into song.
Problems here and problems there
are almost making him swear.
Differetn fittings and different sizes
these things certainly won`t win prizes.
The sink is in and working well
he is pleased now, I can tell.
We carried the old bath out,
that really made my back shout.
Then the new one was set in place
hurry, I need to do more than wash my face.
Now all pieces are where they should be
it`s looking great, you should see.
Maybe when it`s all complete
I`ll show you this massive feat
that hubby pulled off on his own
I might put him on a throne.
A king, in my eyes anyway
he`s great at work, rest and play.

#ART on Folksy Friday

I haven`t put art on here for a while. I think it`s time Folksy art appeared on here once more. I decided after looking through the new listings on Folksy. There were so many wonderful pieces of art just leaping out at me that I decided the art was calling. A bit fanciful I know but sometimes that is just how the mood takes me.
I very often don`t decide the blogs direction it decides for me, kind of takes on a life of it`s own. Oh dear, now that does make me sound strange! I am not really strange, maybe a little bit eccentric at times. Ooops, I can almost see my younger daughter raising her eyebrow at me. I confess then, I can be very eccentric occasionally, but the rest of the time I do pass for normal. Sort of!
As ever to see a description or bigger picture of any item just click on the picture to go directly to that item in the shop.
ENJOY!
The trials and tribulations of my new bathroom being put in!

The new toilet is sitting in it`s place
it`s working too, so no longer a race
to get to the loo downstairs first
praying that you just won`t burst.
The new sink, now there`s a thing
it wasn`t making hubby`s heart sing.
A different shape, he needs more tiles
oh dear me he`s lost his smiles.
Then the pipe`s not long enough
for that too he needs more stuff.
Pipes are lengthened, now they reach
but the wrong size trap will cause a breach.
Off he went to the plumbers shop again
I`m not sure if he`ll stay sane.
The toilet gave him all sorts of trouble
especially when he watched a leak bubble.
But that got sorted out at last
now it works well and fast.
I`m dreading the bath coming out
what sort of rules will that flout?
Poor old hubby he`s been getting stressed
maybe having it done would ahve been best.
But he`s such a perfectionist you see
no one else could do the job as well as he.
Never mind it will be good when it`s done
and I will say, NEVER, EVER AGAIN!

Crafty Spectacular! #Handmade #Folksy.

Today I am back on the showing of delectable delights from the Folksy sellers who have favorited my shop. I didn`t realise when I started how long it was likely to take. However having shown the first 3 pages I feel I should continue until they have all had their turn. I may end up having to do more of them at a time, which is good for you as you get to see more wonderful goodies displayed here. I expect I will continue the displaying of these wonderful Folksy sellers on alternate days.
I hope everywhere is getting the beautiful sunny days we have had in Norfolk the last couple of days. It`s been getting quite warm too in the sun, although the temperature is still dropping at night. It does however give us hope that spring is here to stay and that summer is just around the corner.

Yesterday was so beautiful and sunny
don`t you think it`s awfully funny?
A week ago we were freezing
and now we are really breezing,
through the day with happy faces,
putting our feet through their paces.
It`s nice to be able to get outdoors
would be nicer still to be near moors.
Still, never mind, I`ll take what I can get
the city, work and my garden I`ve only been to yet.
Poor hubby is missing out on the weather
he`s keeping himself on a short tether.
Busy doing my bathroom make over
when it`s done I`ll be in clover.
The sink and toilet today have gone
but now the wood floor is done.
Good job I`ve got a downstairs loo
very glad of that extra sink too.
Lucky the bath is still in place
so I can wash more than my face.
I would be lost without my shower
great to come out smelling like a flower.
He goes back to work on Friday night
hope it`s not still looking like a building site.
Keeping him supplied with lots of tea
because that is his only fee.
Can`t wait to see it in all it`s glory
but that will be another story!
