Holidays

A relaxing week of family old and new, fresh air and peaceful places, food, knitting, table football and fun.

Talented Crafters

One of the great things about Etsy is the team spirit and support between sellers.  I am a member of many teams although at the moment I have so much knitting to do I haven't been as active a team member as I would like.  Many of the teams promote trading between sellers and I have been luck enough to be able to trade some knitted goodies for some lovely jewelry

.
This one is from EnchantedLeaves.  Its amber and copper and I adore it.  Mr T tried to convince me I really needed a golden Snitch but to no avail!

These two are from DoodlePip Designs, a lovely UK seller with lots of whimsical necklaces and rings etc.

The last picture is of my new toy in a custom made case.  After being in the dark ages for years and years I have treated us to a tablet.  The children love it (almost as much as me) and it's making my work a lot easier as I can do my online "stuff" so much quicker.  The case was custom made to fit the tablet when it has its bumper on by Kirsty from Kirstylicious.  I contacted her at the end of last week and the case arrived on Wednesday, great service and a really gorgeous well made item :)

If you are after some handmade goodies for Christmas gifts I can thoroughly recommend all three sellers for their quality and great customer service!

New Knitting Bags

 I decided it was time to buy myself a knitting bag.  I had admired these last year and decided to treat myself to one from Kelly Connor Designs on Etsy.  I really wanted the Winter is Coming Knit Faster but figured I would need a Spring/Summer bag as well so went for a lucky dip and Kelly sent me a lovely parcel filled with bags for Clem (from SoSatsuma) and I!  I am so pleased with them, they are soft cotton, lightweight and strong and the captions are fab!  If you are looking for a bag for yourself, or a Christmas present for a knitter pop over and check out her shop here, she sells mainly bags but also has some great mugs too!
