Folksy Sunday Showcase

OK so I've managed to Folksy Friday and Sunday Showcase (something of a record for me)

This week I've decided to showcase mamma made uk / Trish Evans. I absolutely love these little booties, perfect for the freezing weather today too. I look forward to seeing more things if they're as beautiful as them!






Good Luck with your first Folksy Sale! Kate

First Feedback

I've received my first feedback- It was from the two winners of my competition but it was lovely to get someone's thoughts on what I make. Very nice to hear positive things.

Facebook feedback

All my jewellery is now currently with my lovely cousin who is photographing it for me. I hope it means that I suddenly get an order! We're still housebound because of the lurgy so it means I should have lots of time to make more things. Never quite works like that though

Peacock Cuff - Finished

This is my latest project now finished. I've counted over 30 different colour beads, of which almost all are Swarovski crystals. I don't think I could make this again even if I wanted to as some of the beads are no longer available to buy! I love it. It weighs a lot too
