Pinned from Etsy

I have been feeding my Pinterest habit today with delights found on Etsy. I thought I'd share a few of these with those of you who may have yet to discover the visual feast that is Pinterest [warning: it can prove addictive]

PS if anyone fancies joining pinterest, I am able to invite friends!

follow the Flickr trail

Someone added me as a contact this week so I thought I'd take a look at their photostream, and that's where the trail started...

this made me smile so I looked further

and I loved this

then I clicked on their fave photos by other Flickr members and found these beauties

and then this ♥

and to a happy stitchery town

where will the Flickr trail lead you to today?

Pinterest Pretties

I recently pinned this to my Quilting board but thought I'd share it with you non-pinners
It was sadly sold in December 2010 by Splendorfalls28 on Etsy...beautiful nonetheless, don't you think?

how about this for a paper cut!

i followed the trail back to discover that it is the work of Julene Harrison and you can see her work here

Felt Folksy Friday

Well I was heading for the sofa (or that was the plan) when I decided to upload some pics to the Folksy Flickr group and I happened upon some delightful felt creations.


So, I decided why not do a Felt Folksy Friday..? So I am!


First up, we have the fabulous Reindeer Wreath by Emily A.K.A. Dolly Doo

I love how jaunty this is - it's right up my street and would be perfect for a little one's first Christmas, don't you think? Emily has plenty of other felty delights for you to peruse...so bob on over to DollyDoo on Folksy.

Secondly, we have the utterly charming felt brooches of Liz at LizzyBeth's Felties. I am particularly enamoured with this chirpy little chap...

So simple but charming :) Liz has some equally fabulous whale brooches that are definitely worth a visit to her store.

Well that's it for my spur of the moment Folksy Friday - I've never done one before so I hope I've done it right & proper.
