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

Folksy Friday Show me your Sparkles
The theme for my Folksy Friday is Sparkle. I had so much to choose from so thank you for everyone who suggested some of their items and I'm sorry I couldn't include all of them.

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
