Folksy 365 - Daily Listing Challenge Thread - AUGUST 2018

Thanks everyone for your congratulatory messages :slight_smile: - will have to get my thinking hat on for something to enter next year now :thinking:

Have spent the morning catching up with some work that pays me a wage so no felting yet today and not sure I’m really feeling it today so will probably just do a few bits and pieces rather than starting on anything new.

Just seen my kingfisher has made it into Folksy favourites and featured on their instagram story today :slight_smile: Trying to decide what to make next - maybe a swan or a mallard duck although I still have a commission for a long tailed tit to complete first.

Heres a new batch of soaps that I made last week as all the previous ones sold in Norfolk.

Thanks Sue @SueTrevor and Sharon @OhhhWhatAYarn, I’m definitely feeling less stressed and so pleased I’ll still have time for lots of crafting, as it definitely does help to relieve my anxiety.

I’m having a good week this week. As well as having that good news, I’ve a sale to report - (can you add it to my tally please Max @MaxPringJewellery) - and my little lion purse has been added to Folksy Favourites. I also won a voucher for a market night I was taking part in on Sunday and used it to buy a lovely pendant from @SarahDesignsUK. Happy days! :smile:

I spent yesterday evening reading the manual to my new sewing machine. It looks so scary I still haven’t even switched it on yet!! :joy:

My new listing today is this hedgehog cushion.

It’s a Janome SMD4000 (exclusive to Sewing Machines Direct). My current machine is a Janome and I absolutely love it. The new one has quite a few computerised embroidery stitches and you can limit the speed on it which I’m hoping will help with my experimentation with free-motion embroidery. It’s just sooooo different to the old one! :scream: I think I need to just bite the bullet and get stuck in!
