A lovely prize

Last week I won a wonderful prize on Kate's blog (dash robin design). Such a great package, I'm stoked.

Ella's had the two brooch's on since the package arrived this morning, they are so sweet.

I haven't read 'My Place' so that will be next in my reading pile and the little pouch is going to be used to carry my phone and wallet to pick the kids up from school.

Thanks again Kate, I love it! xx

Forebear Friday

Here's a photo of my Grandmother, Marjorie (in the middle) with her brother and sister, Jack and Dorothy. It would have been taken around 1910 in Melbourne.

I'm off to enjoy my Birthday, hope you have a lovely day as well. xx

My Creative Space...

A few weeks ago I told you all that I was knitting a unicorn. Well, I finished a while ago but just never got round to taking photos until this morning.

She's been named Smelly because apparently she won't let Ella give her a bath.

When I introduced her to Ella it was definitely not love at first sight like I'd hoped. Here's how it went:

I'd finished Smelly late one night and was planning on giving her to Ella the next day but when Ella woke up having had a bad dream at about 3am I said "Maybe you need a Unicorn to sleep with" and Ella nodded her head so I went to get the unicorn and I gave it to Ella. When she saw it she said "That's a donkey...and it's brown".

I'm putting it down to being pretty dark in the room at the time.

Anyway, since then they have fallen in love and sleep together every night.

An Etsy Treasury

Wren Willow has included one of my iPad sleeves in this gorgeous treasury. It's my first time in a treasury! The other stuff in it is just lovely. To see the full size version click here.

Etsy

I've been thinking of starting an Etsy store for a little while now so on the weekend I got sorted and made some extra iPad sleeves and put them on my new Etsy shop. I couldn't believe it when a few hours later three of them had sold!! I was imagining they'd just sit there for a while and I'd have time to stock the shop up before I told anyone about it. I haven't had time to make any more so I just ended a few that were on my Madeit shop and put them onto my Etsy shop to bulk it up a bit. Anyway, I've added a link to the new shop over in my sidebar.

Now what I want to know is, those of you who sell on Etsy...what's the next step. What are these Street Teams. Is there any other way you get involved in Etsy? Any tips or tricks for a new user...it's all a bit overwhelming.

I have to say that I think madeit is much more user friendly but Etsy seems to have more 'accessories' to it which I haven't delved into yet.
