Designing a house number commission for me today, lovely bright yellow roses in today’s grey weather -
I’m not making at the moment. I use January to do all the boring stuff like getting my accounts up to date. I also decided to move my workshop from the large studio room in our barn to a smaller workshop room (now that it has been vacated by my friend who made soaps). This has ended up being more of an upheaval than I thought, not helped that its also resulted in me sorting out the “back room” (which is like my loft and shed rolled into one). How do we end up accumulating so much junk??!!
There’s going to have to be a tip run on Wednesday and then a car boot in the spring.
My husband on the other hand is painting his next painting!
Oh I hadn’t thought of all that stuff. Toy labelling is a right minefield isn’t it!
Well it’s raining here today and I am making two hexagon crochet cushions commission it’s already paid for so won’t list in my shop. It’s to match the decor in a camper van
I’ve been in the workshop creating arrow heads, sorry no picture as i’ve done for the evening and they need polishing, tomorrows job,
Luckily Id planned to stay in all day, so windy!! I havnt crafted much but Ive thought about things to make. I also sat and held a glued head onto a body for what seemed like an eternity. Hopefully its set now.
I made a blue tit yesterday, today it is the turn of the chaffinch - just needs tidying up and some legs adding!
I’ve been working on two trinket boxes pne of which has a magnetic lid fixing designed by me
They will be listed tomorrow.

Ooh I love the grey one! But I just bought a lovely hat from https://folksy.com/shops/proggyandtweed, can’t justify another one
Managed to sneak in finishing two bibs and planned out some burp cloths. Did a lot of fabric washing - soo exciting. I hate getting new fabric and having an idea and then having to wait to wash and dry it before I can get cracking!
Sorry for the awful pic but here are 3 of my little birthday keepsakes all finished. Inside their glass bodies it says “Happy Birthday”.
I’m still working on Valentine card orders, unfortunately the orders are all for my ‘other’ shop
We were lucky enough to have a bit of sunshine this morning, so now I am editing photos and writing product descriptions. Here’s a sneak peak:
Well it was dry here this morning so I wasn’t going to add to this thread but the rain has returned! Didn’t do much during the day today but have just started work on a new bird this evening - just started putting on the markings - can anyone guess what its going to be?

You are correct but sadly there is no prize!
I’m making some new glass buttons in a range of jewel-like transparents.
I’ve been trying to make my photos a bit better! But it’s making my eyes go funny so I’m off to cheer myself up by knitting some bootees!
