Wake Up Jean



I am making a Christmas Shopping list at the moment. Ideas of things to buy and if anyone is interested, things I would like to receive.
I thought of something new just now. A new Memory please. The one I have is wearing out and so by Christmas I would appreciate a nice new alert memory please.

What prompted this? On Sunday I made draft listings of 6 items for the November Sparks on Folksy. I am working full time at the moment so I thought I would get ahead of myself.
I have just listed todays item FROM SCRATCH as in my tumble out of bed state I had forgotten that it was in my draft area on Folksy already.....as I was writing the description I thought it sounded familiar.

Have a good day all!

Bit of Fun


Good Morning! I am in the Folksy Listing club again this month. I ran out of items and did not get going with the October club but I am now ready to list every day. I have made, photographed and edited 6 items and have 2 more downstairs to do this morning. When and if it gets properly light....!
All I have to do is keep ahead of myself and all will be well.
It is a great way to keep me focused on one thing at a time as I do tend to trip about and waste time doing half a job.
So here is my first offering. Wine Glass Charms. I have done my research and the prices charged are between £1-£2 per charm so I have made up little packs of two and at the moment they are £2 online and may be £3 at craft fairs. (This did make sense to me when I printed the bag inserts)
Have a good day.

Half way there!

I am halfway through a cross stitch sampler. I do like band samplers, and this one is called a Rymic Sampler I believe!

Anyway it is in 6 colours, 4 pinks and 2 greens and I think it will be very pretty. It is to match a cot quilt handmade by Louisa Gault. I found her on Folksy and she made a larger quilt last year for my daughter to give to Alice.

This year is Lucy's turn. She will be One in December and we will not be able to be there so some special gifts from Granny and Grampy Apple are necessary. (Our name is Smith and I am NOT granny smith thankyou)I will show you the sampler and quilt before it is sent to Sydney.
