Thank You Buttons & Beads Gifts

Just a quick blog to thank Angela from Buttons & Beads Gifts for the lovely prize I received today in her giveaway.
I chose these lovely wine glass charms from her shop and they are so pretty. Great quality, they have a real weight to them. I have earmarked as great little Christmas gifts. £5 for 6, and presented in a lovely little organza bag.
Thank you Angela!

Keeeeeeep Jesting!

I've been very naughty and neglected the blog for a week, no excuse just ran out of time! The Jester's meanwhile have been continuing to list some beautiful items which I'd like to showcase, plus I've managed a few additions myself. As usual a click on the photo will take you to the Crafter's shop. I'd also like to thank 'Cuteable' for featuring my new Ted Bag this week - I was thrilled, give Cuteable a visit for all things lovely! Meanwhile hope you like my Jester's picks:

Still Jesting, and a Jester's Treasury.

Those of you who know will know of my long standing shoulder problem - anyway finally saw the Surgeon today who has referred me for an MRI. Now, unfortunately the last time I had to have an MRI, I completely freaked out and couldn't have it done, felt a complete woos, but the claustrophobia was terrifying. Anyway, it seems I can be referred for an Open MRI which will mean travelling to Swindon or Cheltenham but great result!!
Back to crafting and I've had to go a bit careful but completed a couple of little accent cushions, one in pink Gingham and one with a gorgeous Moda print:
Looking through the Jesters threads of the last few days it is almost impossible to select, there are so many lovely items but here are a few of my favourites, as usual a click on the photo should take you to the shop:

Folksy Friday

I can't believe Friday has come around again, so time to showcase some of the talented Folksters. I have been a lucky bunny this week and had a few sales, thank you to my lovely customers. My favourite item I've made this week for the July Jesting challenge has been this Summer Bag in beautiful Moda fabric.
There are some fabulous items being listed in July so have a peep at their shops, just click on any picture to take you to the shop, apologies that Blogger is playing tricks on me today and won't let me put 6 photo's on - no doubt a senior moment on my part!

Day 6!

Day 6 and still managing my one a day! I ordered some grapevine hearts and decorated with fabric strips to make a shabby heart, some lovely glass beads in the centre just finished it off. I was very lucky that Zoe at Top Floor Treasures spotted it and bought it this morning! She has a lovely new site which is well worth a visit, I think she loves fabrics as I do, she usually has some stunning prints. Anyway this is the heart I made, I'm going to do a lilac one tonight:
Meanwhile here are a few other treasures from the Jesters today:
Kelly at Kokokelli has made this stunning necklace:
London Fogg has listed this lovely pendant,  like Kelly's a really individual piece:
...and finally Just K Jewellery's soooooo sweet Sprinkles Pendant, love it!
I'm working my way around everyone slowly, it's lovely to find new shops to visit, getting ideas for Christmas already!
