Stitching and Dreaming en français..

'Les temps sont durs pour les rêveurs'...

...'These times are hard for dreamers'

I am definitely a dreamer.

I could spend all my time daydreaming, making plans and see in the world in my own little way. Thats why  I like to stitch and scribble so much. You can spend a day lost in your head, then have a little memento from that dream... 

Before I float off again (I'm planning my third day of being lost in a cloud of tea and cake) I tell you a little about that phrase. Its from my favourite film ever, Amelie. I rewatched it a couple of weekends ago and that line just stuck with me. Everytime I hear the line, I smile and sigh...

I've never been able to pinpoint why I can relate to it or what it really means,

but I think it means a lot...

Timely Shamrocks...

Felt Shamrock Pin How-to Here

As I didn't give anyone much time to make these Shamrock Pins last St Patrick's day (sharing the day before, indeed!) I thought I would pop them to the top with a whole ten days to stitch...

I have to say thank you to The Beading Gem reminding me!

Hope you're having a nice relaxing Sunday. I have spent mine wrestling flexihoop frames... they put up quite a fight, I'm exhausted! But I do now have no less than four lovely stitch picture all photographed ready for more little shop updating this week, starting with 'We belong together'...

I'm really enjoying stitching these little pictures, it my favourite thing to do right now. If March wasn't going to be such a busy month for me I would have loved to join in with the 39 Squares Stitchalong, the flickr group is just amazing but yesterday's blog square was the best...

Too too cute for words...

And Spring brought bunnies...

Hello again!

Six blogging days in a row... I'm quietly chuffed with myself

And I have been busy with the stitching as well. The Spring inspired wip has gone from this to...

...these, Bunnikins with a real spring in their step!

Bright eyed and bouquet tailed, ready for all the sunshine and blossoms to come.

And ready for more Bunnikins to come... oh, here they are:

Their Lavender friends adore Spring too but are happy to snooze away the last few chills of winter away. They can't very much help it...

...wrapped in cashmere with a belly full of lavender, who wouldn't be a sleepy thing?

I must admit I have been enjoying Spring through a window myself.

The Bunnikins, both Serene and Spring-y, are in the little shops

(Spring Bunnikins is a little late to etsy but will be hopping in that little shop soon too)

 ...and the little sleepy heads have already been featured in Natalya's All about Rabbit Treasury. Just look at her bunny egg hats, so cute!!

Hoppy Saturdays!

A Good Reason to Treat Yourself...

There is a brilliant craft forum Crafter...oo! They are a friendly bunch and there is just about every crafty thing you can think of going on, you should pop over and take a look for yourself!

They are also a very generous bunch and have opened a Folksy shop to raise money for Children in Need filled with crafty pieces made by members.

Crafter...oo! Children in Need Shop

Its a very good cause, helping make a positive change to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK. All the money raised will go to the cause as the lovely Folksy folk have waived the fees. If you are new to Folksy, it is a place for UK crafters to sell to all over the world. It is very easy to register and simple to use, so go treat yourself for a good cause!

A Little Folksy Shopping

Well I got two out of three of my Wednesday Wips completed.

The third was looking complete, but then I began to doubts to whether I needed more rain so it continues to worked upon, drop by drop. (all will become clear I promise)  

Yesterday, I finally did another to-do which I have been meaning to for quite some time...

I opened another little Stitcher Scribbler shop on Folksy! 

Folksy is pretty much the British version of Etsy and since it was St. George's day I thought I'd be patriotic and join up.

You can visit my little Folksy shop at:

www.StitcherScribbler.folksy.com

or clicking one of the many links I'll be sure to litter around the little blog here ;-)

Its not very full right now, but you can have a peek of one of my finished wips so please stop by and favourite me. I feel a little cheeky asking so bluntly, but the more favourited on folksy you are the more visible and at the moment I'm finding it difficult to find me. In return, I'll share a couple of my favourites with you...

"Time for Tea" Kilt Pin by Annetta Norris Jewellery

My first Folksy favourite and one of my favourite things - Tea and Cake! I adore that little wooden teapot!

Jammie Dodger Card by Asking for Trouble

Tea and biscuits are always good too! Jammie Dodgers were my favourite treat as a kid, nothing could stop me eating them. Not even when my best friend had her wobbly tooth pulled out by the jammy heart (i know... ick!)

Creme Egg by British Cream Tea

Another real favourite treat! I will not admit how many I have eaten this year, or that I am wondering if it is too late to stock pile to see me through the rest of the year. I love everything in British Cream Tea's shop, it is all too perfectly nostalgic and I have never wanted to eat felt so much.... 

Little Man Brooch by A Home for Toys

More nostalgic treasures. Toy inspired ornaments from found objects, somehow so perfect.

April Showers Umbrella Necklace by Ji Ji Kiki

It's England, it's April so you will be needing an umbrella! Actually it's not raining, it's bizarely sunny and warm the last couple of weeks, but that no reason to pass up on a sweet little trinket.

Besides it always rains when you leave your brolly at home...
