Happy Thanksgiving !

I thought I'd add a few little bean bag guys to my shop.

I'm not sure how to categorize these, juggling balls ? desk friends ? paperweights ? or just little cuties ? Although there isn't a category for cutie in the etsy menus.

Poppytalk look book

I'm in here !

The green minty cozy .....

The poppytalk holiday look book is up and I'm there too ! page 55 ... alongside some very talented artists and beautiful pieces, I feel inspired to make and create more pieces .. now only if the rest of the household would let me !

I caught sight of this idea:

Using a hula hoop as a "loom" for weaving a rug .. so of course I had to have a go. So far I have this :

Although having said all that in the text below - I like this part .. maybe its the Oreo colour combination ...

Looking a little wonky in this one !

I wanted to use wool asI really like these knitted poufs from CB2 and felt that the wool would give a similar feel.

or I now see that World Market have a version ...

Anyway .... I got this cream and brown combo in the Jo-Ann sale ... I'm not sure about it at all, I think the problem is that I have two sofas .. orange and burgandy .. yes I know its a weird mixture and as an ex-colour designer I hate to admit it ... but the burgandy sofa is really white and was left for me by the lovely Clive who returned to England and swapped it for a lunch at the Hunters Hall, Kingscote. but, I digress, he left it with a burgandy throw which is protecting it from children and dogs ... so now with this public confession I must add " buy new throw" to the ever  expanding do-do list.

.. what I meant to say was .. Jo-Ann's didn't have any greens or oranges so I chose the brown and cream, and now I'm not in love with them as I have no place for brown and cream rugs in my house .... give away ? Christmas gift ? suggestions ?

Hello lovely shoppers, look forward to a 10% discount and free shipping during black Friday weekend ( Nov 26 - 29th )

Phew,  resized and revamped photos for Poppytalk and uploaded them ... if I ever sell anything I need to start a fund for a faster computer - so buy buy buy !

Congratulations!

The Book Bag, it looks sort of flat - well I suppose it would as its a book bag, but not sure how best to photograph it .. any ideas ?

Second Book Bag, with the book spine print .... this one is my lino cut whereas the BB number 1 and the wine bag are printers blocks.
