Treasury Tuesday: My Orange Valentine

'My Orange Valentine' by L1zW

Orange is a warm colour and a sexy smell. Awaken your senses with colours, tastes and fragrances that will ignite passion. Yum!

As you can my re-ignited love affair with Etsy has resulted in a romantic, steamy treasury list for Valentine's Day. Husband take note.

Crazy Patchwork Valentine

So this is the card I made for my husband. It's in the style of crazy patchwork using fabric glue. I just stuck a bunch of scraps to some card then cut out the shape of a heart. I think I'll make some more cards like this.

My First Craft Fair

Well I finally took the plunge and decided to try selling my littles bits at a craft fair. This one was at the Custard Factory in Birmingham. Although I only sold one item, it was very thrilling to make a sale and I certainly learned a lot. The craft fair will continue for the next two Saturdays, so if you're in the area you should definitely check it out, as there were some very talented ppl there. I shared the stall with fellow Etsy Midlander Becky who makes amazing graphic art prints under shop name Beckyismyname.

I think I will wait a while before doing another, as I would like to work on some more cross stitch designs. Getting everything ready in the lead up was a little fraught as well which takes the fun out of something which has always been a really enjoyable hobby. I don't think I'll be quitting my day job!

Anyway, I now have a couple more items to add to my shops including kitch, vintage style shopping bags and little greetings cards.

The Meditating Frog

It's my brother's birthday at the end of this month, so I made him this card, based on a postcard from Japan a friend sent. He's a meditating frog. I think he's very cute and I will miss him when I give him away.
