Spring awakening

Oops !!

Well here we are half way through February and I am now only just visiting my blog for 2012 !!

Suppose it's fair to say life has been busy the past few months but I am now beginning to think of what Lissi can offer this year. Many ideas that I need to put into practice indeed, but i'm playing the 'easier said than done' card for now.... as i'm sure you know if you work all week yourself !

We had a busy run up to the festive period which was great, and for anyone after a bargain pop over to our Etsy Store and check out our sale section that has carried over form our January sale.

Really loving that the nights are starting to get shorter, longer days are so much more inspiring don't you think ?

I'm gonna be a more regular blogger again and will keep you posted on up and coming new products and events, I promise !

For now I leave you with a couple of pics of our new lightly scented lavender pillows and hearts.....

Silky Goodness

Multi task sunday

Don't weekends always seem to go so fast?!....infact faster than the other five days in the week I would say!

Ours has been busy.

On Saturday we drove over to Durham in the hope that Ste could speak to a jeweller about a possible job. He met and spoke briefly and was asked to ring and arrange to go back during the week as the poor guy was full of clients and customers waiting to be seen. So seen as this was not a straight no, we are a little hopeful about it.

On to Sunday. A day at home. I should have made a list as I know I haven't done half the things that were floating about in my head, but here's a few of the more interesting bits....

decided to gather some dyed silk and leave it to soak with the addition of some lovely rusted nails. I will seek the result next weekend so it can dwell all week in the shed.....

fought with the printer and forced it to print on silk as I have ran out of labels ....

cut some dyed silk ready for sewing over the coming nights (hopefully!)....

I also baked some cakes and cooked a hearty stew for tea, as well as all the other household chores that need to be kept in order !!

Below are a couple of new items, one of each as been added to my Folksy and Etsy shops.... and each shall be added to the other during the week....

And back to the 9-5 tomorrow ! Hope you all had a lovely weekend x

2011 !!

Well I really can't believe that I haven't blogged since November!...December was a whirl-wind month it seems and now here we are in January.

Happy New Year to everyone!! I hope you all had a lovely festive season and received some lovely gifts.

Christmas was cosy for us this year, the living room was finished decorated just in time and the house really felt like a home! Still lots of decorating to be done still, but it is now nice to see a few rooms finished and the difference it has made.

Looking forward to 2011....I am hoping to get stuck into regular dyeing and making again this year and need to find a new model as I am just not comfortable in front of the camera. (Alice, Lissi's face of Sring/Summer'10 moved away last year :( )

The dyed yarns have been going down well and I have a couple of new colours to list. Hopefully we can experiment with other blends this year too, and I may find time to visit the kind spinning ladies I met last year.

I have also made the resolution that I will be a regular blogger again (hurray!), and Iam determined to post about and support other crafters in showcase features etc more.

I hope you are all having a wonderful start to the year and for now I leave you with a couple of snaps of Rosie enjoying the christmas mess...... x
