featured seller on folksy!!!

I am quite excited today, we returned from a beautiful walk yesterday from Land's end to Sennen (we forgot the camera of course!), I switched on my computer to find a message saying that I am one of folksy's featured sellers for the next fortnight!!  Here is the link.  I haven't been sewing for a week or so because I seem to have damaged my back but I will have to get back on with it now!

There are three other featured sellers

O' blue thrashion

Ooh miss Fou

and

Mellor ware

All making gorgeous stuff

circus skills

I've been a little fascinated by the idea of circus skills lately.  Not so much clowning but definitely balancing acts

little girls practicing their skills so they can run away and join the circus

balancing and tightrope walking

and sprinkling fairy dust

I'll be listing these little coin purses over the next few days on folksy

needle books

needle books 001, originally uploaded by glassmountain.

I really love little purses and cases for all those little crafting bits and bobs. Needle books and pincushions are particular favourites, so today I've been making needle books.

these have a little button closure at the back (my favourite kind of closure for some unknown reason) and do you see my new printed label there.  I'm not sure how I feel about the font but it does look so much more professional (well maybe!)

these pages are linen and cotton ( I ran out of felt and had to rethink, but I like these pages.)

and the embroidery is a little rabbit picking flowers, I got to use my gorgeous red linen thread from fog linen

for the flowers and around the edge.  I have made another with a little girl embroidery and felt pages.  Both are listed on folksy.

little house brooch

I have decided to turn some little houses into brooches, I've put a brooch pin on the back (actually very fiddly, I'm sure there's an easier way!) and I think it looks quite sweet

this is the pouch in it's entirety. I cannot get the oatmeal colour of the fabric no matter where I photograph it or however much I mess with it on picnik. Any advice would be appreciated.
