Oh Lordy it's all go around here! The Poppy Corsages are selling really well so lots of donations to the Royal British Legion. Many, many thanks to everyone who has bought one so far :)

I have now run out of beads until the postman decides to bring me some so I can pause for a sec to mention this fab treasury we were in that, for the first time this week results in a blog NOT about poppies!! The Medieval collection was put together by Heather at Tatiana Rose. Heather is a UK tatter residing in Kent with some very priddy things indeed! A designer after our own hearts with a real medieval/goth/renaissance vibe to her work.

Call me a purist if you like but it has to be black for me so Heather's 'Christina' pendant is the one floating my gondola! Check it out.

Peacocks Everywhere!

I am having one of those themed days today, you know - where you see loads of connected stuff all day. First thing this morning my online window shopping for all things pretty, took me on a very peacock related path! I found this stunning tea-cosy which I am praying I will win so I can try and turn it into a bag - (now I am trusting you all not to try and outbid me, regardless of the beauty!)

Then later on I took the kids to a farm park where a very magnificent peacock was strutting around the place. After that a craft fair in local Baildon where I found lots of peacock related goodies, then finally an Etsy conversation telling us that my new turquoise pansy bobby pin is included in this fab blue treasury by chantylace.

To tie it all in I have been wearing a peacock blue rosette hair clip and carrying my vintage bag to match all day - divine synchronicity or what? :)

Love Leaves?

Well who can say? My heart-shaped ivy leaf cards have made it into no less than THREE Etsy Treasuries this week!! And yet - they still aren't selling! They are made using two printing blocks, one lino and one polystyrene. I print them onto painted silk, one on top of the other to get more texture. Then the usual machine stitch, hand stitch, bead bead bead!

Well I like them and so do Creative Hook who included a green one in her 'Imagine - a paradox' Treasury West list and The Birds and Bees who added the same card to her 'Green With Envy' Treasury. The lilac one is in the 'Simply Natural' list by Jessijewels in our earlier blog.

Well Wychbury Loves Leaves - and always will!

Again again!!!

Yay we are so popular right now! MASSIVE thanks to Saysie this time for including us in her really pretty 'Accessorize' Treasury West list. http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=7422


I really love the patchwork pillow covers in her shop. I am a bit of a closet patcher myself on the quiet! I've been working on the same quilt (once a flood!) for about 12 years now! Anyway, this rainbow one is gorgeous!

It's so sad when your treasury disappears. *sniff* I got a screen shot of the last one which I'll probably post up soon.

I am on a massive gig comedown. In the last few months I've seen 30 Seconds to Mars, Megadeth, Hanoi Rocks and this week IAMX. Gigs are definitely my drug of choice.
I'm hoping that The Horrors & Patrick Wolf tour soon, but I really need another fix of IAMX.
I can't even blog about how fabulous the show was, I can't put it into words.

I can add a picture though..which may give you some idea.

Treasury!

I managed to bag a Treasury West spot this morning, what fun! Seriously I could have spent all day choosing gorgeous things!

Here's the link:

It has a forest theme (no shock there...)

Well, Paula and I will be dancing and squealing at Chris Corner of IAMX (ex Sneaker Pimps) tonight.

Note to self: Go easy on the glitter eyeliner and sequins.....
