White gold...

...i love these soft creamy white shades with a hint of gold here and there, this selection was inspired by Ewa-Christine and her wonderful white and cream studio, and the gorgeous new pieces dottie angel has been crafting, including the rose print bag in the bottom row...
...

...a bit of knitting, a custom order for etsy and a pretty treasury is all the creativity i've been getting up to of late. the three lots of eye drops i'm having to use mean a permanently dilated pupil and blurry vision in one eye, it seems i have a case of 'iritis'. thankfully it's not as painful as it was when it first started, but it is going to be slow to heal fully - i have to take these eye drops for almost a month!

...anyway, over the next few days i want to get back into my creative stride. i've got a pile of lovely new fabrics waiting on my desk (i'll post about them next time) and some ideas floating around my head that i want to make a start on. maybe then i will be a bit more deserving of this...


...thank you so much to the fabulous Sophie for honouring me with my first ever blogging award! if you have been reading this wee blog for any length of time you will have a fair idea of what i love, you know - chocolate, red wine, yummy yarn, my man, spanner, warm weather and being creative... i think they're in the right order ;) the creative blogs that i think are deserving of this award are...

...obviously Sophie of Her Libray Adventures, Penny of Sparrow Salvage, Viv of Hens Teeth, Sarah of Black-Eyed Suzie, Ewa-Christine of Ewa-Christines Studio, Charlotte of fancypicnic, Courtney of The Inner Stitch and Katie of The Constant Gatherer...
...

...oh but it doesn't stop there, my lovely friend Ivy also honoured me with this award...

...here's the wee blurb to go with it...

"This blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY--nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. The kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers!"

...one of the loveliest things i have found in blogging is just how friendly, kind, generous and supportive fellow bloggers are. whether it's just popping by to read my ramblings, a wee comment at the end of a post or an encouraging message in my inbox... i am so grateful to all of you :) it's so difficult to choose just a few as i think of you all as friends but here are one or two...

...obviously Ivy of Edera Crocheted Jewelry, Monda of monda loves, Tif of dottie angel, Michaela of See You In The Wind, Linda of Stripeymonkey, Sophie of Her Libray Adventures, Viv of Hens Teeth and Parisa of Parisa...
...

...i know i have singled out just a few names for both of these awards but every blog listed in the right hand column of this page is well worth a visit. i hope you all have a lovely creative day!
