Hello ladies. I really must try and visit this thread more often as I find I’ve always missed loads of stuff going on! Ah, the problems of trying to fit all this around a full-time job! :pensive: As everyone’s items generally get pinned to the group board before I spot them, I’ve created my own board - East Midlands designers on Folksy where I’ll pin items from this thread.

This is a new listing from me. Can you tell I’m yearning for summer?!!

Morning Helen :smiley:

That’s a lovely cushion - makes me feel warm and summery just looking at it :smiley:

That’s a good idea - I have a ā€˜new on Folksy’ board I pin to if someone has beaten me to the East Midlands board - don’t think we can have too much exposure.

It is difficult finding time for all this social media stuff - I supposed to work part time running our photography business, so should be able to spend the other ā€˜half’ doing this, but there never seems to be enough hours in the day :thinking:

I’ve listed a new bracelet today - perfect for winter in warm,brown shades:

Hope everyone has a nice, relaxing Sunday.

Helen @FitzjohnAndNoble, nice to see you in this group. I bought a 21st birthday card from you last November for my son and I was delighted with it. We all enjoyed reading about all the events that happened on the day he was born. Great idea.

I’ve travelled back up the thread now and spread some love and pinned everything I’d missed. Some lovely stuff on here. Keep up the good work :heart_eyes:. I’ll try not to stay away too long this time!

Evening everyone!
Hello Helen @PocketfulCreations nice to say a virtual Hi to you too. I hadn’t cottoned on that you’d ordered from me so thanks for that! I’m glad you were happy with it :smile: Your cushion looks lovely by the way, I love a bit of applique & the colours are just what we need to brighten these grey Jan days.
I agree with you and Karen @silvertreejewellerydesign social media takes time to do well. I only use pinterest at the moment but keep toying with trying facebook or instagram…is it worth it though? There’s so much out there already.
:heart:Your chocolate bracelet Karen!

That’s great Karen, no rush as mums birthday isn’t till March. (I’m trying to be organised and shop early this year) The hardest bit was choosing, there’s too many pretty things!..had to treat myself too… A good start to a Monday :smile:
I’m off to try and photograph a wooden blackbird now… :camera:

My newest addition…Mr Blackbird the note holder :slight_smile:

He’s gorgeous Helen - and looks just like Mr B who lives in our garden - and unfortunately got chased into our conservatory by our neighbour’s cat and got trapped. It was very traumatic for all trying to extricate him, you could literally see his little heart pounding in his chest.

I’ve listed the bracelet to go with the earrings I showed you all yesterday and I’m currently working on some new photos for items already listed:

Hurrah - the giant printer - see above post (waaay back up there) is finally leaving the house. Will have to see when they’ve gone how much of my paintwork they’ve taken with it :wink:

:laughing: glad to hear the giant printer has left the building karen!
The new grey bracelet is really pretty too. I bet your work room is an aladdin’s cave of sparkly beads!

The kitchen now looks the size of a ballroom - I had to tie thread from the door handle to my waist so I could find my way back from the dishwasher :joy:

I sent you a message via Folksy yesterday - hope you got it.

Hi Karen,
Postie has just delivered my parcel…love them all, I’m really thrilled and I’m sure mum will be too. And the surprise!! :gift: fabulous.:gift_heart: x
No, I didn’t get a folksy message- just checked my business and personal mail and there’s nothing so that’s a bit odd, maybe there was a gremlin in the system yesterday. :robot:
