In the mix

Sorting sequins out has inspired me to make this treasury from some of my recent favourites over at Etsy, a combination of colour and tones.

Midnight Dreams

I always seem to have so many ideas going round in my head that often nothing becomes of them because I'm overwhelmed.  Earlier this week I spent a night trying to sleep but instead had thoughts and ideas running wild in my brain.  When I'm feeling like this I find myself browsing the internet and reading my favourite blogs or just creating a treasury to try and put these ideas into some sort of order.  This evening, after completing a commission I was working on, I made this new treasury.  Not only does it help with my creative overload but it's also named in honour of my sleepless night and it features some beautiful items found over at Etsy.

Grey Days Inspiration

A dull, grey day has left me feeling very miserable indeed. Do you ever have one of those days where you want to be creative but aren't able to motivate yourself to actually do anything? Well that's me today. So after spending several hours sitting looking grumpy I decided to make a couple of treasuries over at Etsy, I feel better about having not achieved anything practical and look at it as inspiration, in the same way you make mood boards. Take a closer look here and here.

November Nights

I haven't made a treasury for a while, I think mainly because my computer was being a pain and not working properly. So now I've had it fixed I thought i'd have a play around with some of my Etsy favourites.

I think now I should go and finish off any final bits ready for tomorrows fair at Rawlins College, Quorn and stop this playing about.

Sunshine dreaming

A weekend of music, fun and camping has left me dreaming of pretty things and sunshine. Here are some of the things inspiring me today.

leather and wood

What a week it's been. No work, just lots of time spent with friends and family, eating, drinking and enjoying the sunshine. It was also nice to be able to spend time making without a deadline hanging over my head.
I've just spent the last half an hour looking at lovely leather and wooden goodies on Etsy and making a treasury from my finds.

A touch of love

Another beautiful weekend has come to an end. Have you been doing lots and enjoying the sunshine?
I've spent most of my time indoors being creative, or at least trying to be. I'm in the process of helping my friend with wedding invitations, trying to get the shops organised and myself ready for upcoming fairs. A week off work next week will hopefully give me the chance to get everything sorted along with spending time with friends and family and generally enjoying myself.
I have managed, eventually, to create a pretty treasury and thought i'd share a few of the items with you here. Click on the image to go and see it in full. I seem to be having loads of problems with Etsy lately, either the page wont load or I can't see any of the images. I've checked all my computer settings and everything seems fine. Does anyone else have the same problems?

Grey with a splash of pink

Still feeling very sorry for myself so I thought i'd try and cheer myself up by making a treasury, the colours seems to represent my mood quite well.

Pretty in pink

I love this time of year.

The sun has finally started to peep out, filling the day with a warm glow, this instantly makes me feel so much happier. The other thing about this time of year that I love is everything is starting to come to life. The first flowers of the year, the leaves on the trees beginning to bud but my favourite of all, the blossom. It has such a romantic feel to it, don't you think? Apparently the Japanese Cherry blossom or Sakura, symbolises love and affection amongst other things.

I've put together this collection of spring inspired Etsy goodies from a recent treasury, click here to see the entire treasury and all the items.

The witching hour

I've just spent the last few hours searching the internet for inspiration. Having been dissapointed and not found what I was looking for I decided to make a treasury, this is always inspiring and fun.

Summer breeze

I'm not sure where summer's gone, the sunshine seems to have been replaced with rain and wind.

I finally managed to get a treasury for the first time in ages, I seem to just miss them lately. What better title than one relating to the weather....so British!

So here it is and surprise, surprise it's got a lot of aqua in it, I think there is definately a theme going on there.

Thank you Ladies!

Thank you so much AREjewellery and Monarchdancer for including me in their beautiful treasuries. Thank you Ladies!

Round and Round

Thanks to Marmalady for including one of my circle cards in her treasury, go and check out her yummy goodies in her Etsy shop.

Treasuries

Not only do I love being featured in treasuries but I also love making them. It's great to look through all my favourite sellers and finding loads of beautiful items to put together to make an incredible collection. Here's the latest one i've done using shades of aqua and pink.
