Good morning Folksy folk, thought Iā€™d list my butter dish today as they are made to order, if wanted for Motherā€™s Day. Just started some more, which I will vary slightly, love doing these!
Hi Carol, fancy seeing you here at this time of the morning! Iā€™ve been hanging around since 3.15am, but then Iā€™ve always thought sleep was a waste of time, huh! who needs it indeed! xxx

So glad someone else is like me and never really knows which craft to do. Every week Iā€™m never doing pottery ever again and papercrafting or painting or crocheting instead, and as for commissions, I donā€™t mind if itā€™s something Iā€™ve done lots of, but as Sue @BeadstormJewellery said, why canā€™t people just buy whatā€™s there? And why does it always have to be something awkward or time consuming? I wish I had the sense to just say NO! :tired_face::tired_face::tired_face:

Good morning

Love the butter dish June @junemccabe.
Lovely little needle felts Brenda @teabreaks
Oh dear Karen @TheCornishHare - looks like Errol has some competition, Iā€™m a bit in love with Gilbert too!
I know what you mean about commissions Brenda @teabreaks, it is the reason I stopped doing pet portraits - it was way too stressful. I always take payment up front but its hard to convince yourself they will like what you make. I think thats why I prefer selling at craft fairs or in the gallery - at least there they have seen what they are buying.

Had a pretty lazy weekend but did manage to get a few job applications done. I read that on average it takes 27 applications to get 1 interview - as I have already had one interview it could take another 53 applications before I get another!!

Heres my listing for today the final tomte, (for now) - last new item to share until I manage to take some more photos.

Your zebra is amazing xx.
Umm, Iā€™m not sure how I got so many followers on Facebook. I guess I have had the page for quite a long timeā€¦ I try to post once a day ( not so much at the moment) to keep the reach up and I have done giveaways which have generated new likers now and again. People seem to like videos or to see work in progress. X

Another baby vest:



Thatā€™s a really cute penguin @LilyLilyHandmade, and I love the crochet baby blanket, Cat @BabanCat. (My father-in-law used to make gorgeous crochet blankets and shawls!).
June @junemccabe I wish I still had a mother to give your Mum heart to. (She died two years ago at the age of 95.)

A cushion cover today. Iā€™ll need to take these photos again. The light hasnā€™t been good lately.

Good luck @XStitcherJoss. Hope itā€™s nothing nasty. I should go too but Iā€™m putting it off. I need to have two crowns done.

I wake up in the morning, ideas in my head,
Thoughts of things that I could make , while I lie in my bed.
Should I paint a landscape or mountains by the sea,
So while I make my mind up, Iā€™ll make a cup of tea.
Thereā€™s lots of lovely yarns, and things that I could make,
Iā€™ll have another cup of tea, perhaps a slice of cake.
Should I do some crochet or make some cards instead?
Make a pretty hat to fit a babyā€™s head?
Should I use the chunky yarn or yarn that is much thinner?
Iā€™ll make the right decision as soon as Iā€™ve had dinner !
Itā€™s too dark here for painting, to paint in blue and red,
Is that the time already?..Oh dear, itā€™s time for bed !
