April DUST craft swap

I signed up for the DUST April craft swap and found out yesterday that I have been partnered with Dell from DELicious Designz. She has two girls, 8 and 10, which great! The girls have suggested they would like a blue monkey and a purple giraffe. Off to the drawing board!

Del's resin jewlery is lovely, and I love the Alice themed pendants. This is my first swap, I hope she will be happy. I might sneak something in for her also, shhhh dont tell.

The new butterfly's in the shop still haven't had a proper photo shoot! You cant really see the wings but its enough to get the idea. After much prompting from Meagan the very girly pink
butterfly was born. People seem to really like the boggley eyes so Im trying to encorporate them more.

On a Literary note, I have finished almost all my Chaucer reading, and Im moving on to Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida soon. I hope everyone has a relaxing and safe easter weekend, and think of me snowed under school work and mid-season sale dramas at work!

First Etsy sale and WIP Wednesday

When I woke up this morning, I had a strange email from paypal saying someone had given me money. Initially I thought it was spam, but, lo and behold, my first etsy sale! So two little finger puppets are now on their way to New Caladonia, USA!
In honour of my first sale, here are some more finger puppets, Mr Buzzy Bee!

WIP wednesday, Im working on a blanket I found at ravelry, a freeform 'pattern'. For some reason the colours have come up bad in the photo, but its nice to use some of the odd balls in my stash. The dirty blue one is actually a lovely turquoise



What an exciting morning! I feel a little sad about sending off my little creations. My sister is sure its not worth it, and Im sure they take me longer to make than I realise and perhaps I have under-valued them, but for now Im happy, and especially happy that other people like them too!

Now, to stop procrastinating and begin my study for the day...
