twinkly lights and fairground fun at winterfest glasgow just a few minutes walk from my home.
yay! my teeny tiny shop is now open! i will be adding more items during the week.
bbrrr it's getting cold around here so cozy socks are vital at the moment, however i can't understand why my sock drawer never has any matching ones in it, just odd old ones with holes!
i am preparing myself for a busy weekend. you will find me at this local craft fair on saturday spreading the hyggelig with my little selection of crimbo cards (limited edition gocco prints with felted wool) wristwarmers, neckwarmers, hyggelig bears, felted pebbles and lots more besides. i like the idea of taking part in something local as i have lived in this part of town for many years now, so really feel part of the community. i will also be taking along my new sweet mini moo cards - i love moo! on sunday i shall be getting ready to open my new wee shop! i am super excited that i am going to be part of the etsy community of handmade sellers too! 
this is the view out my window today before it got dark! non stop heavy rain and i can hear the wind whistling at the window. yup i guess it will be soon time to say hello to winter. i was lucky as i could stay indoors today keeping cozy, drinking hot chocolate, listening to this and making felted wool bears for a local craft sale and the opening of my little online shop. i have been thinking of opening an etsy shop for the last year but have finally set a date! my hyggelig handmade shop will open on november 29th to be followed soon after by a tiny vintage shop. i will show you my finished hyggelig bears and other goodies soon. this weekend i shall go and see this exhibition - can't wait!
getting ready for the littlest birds yard sale. my latest doll is called doris. more here.
many of glasgow's victorian tenement (apartment) buildings have beautiful tiles on the walls. they can be found in many close's (stairwells) this one was on the outside of a nearby building i passed by last week.
today i shall be having fun making some bunting for my hyggelig stand at the littlest birds yard sale on sunday, using old felted sweaters and fabric. for inspiration i need look no further than flickr, so this weeks photos from the hyggelig happy group are only a few of the amazing garlands, bunting and flags to be found there.......many many thanks once again to every one who adds pictures to the group. i am loving them all.
i love pears! my beautiful thrifted (£1.50) wooden pear bowl i found last sunday and my fabby pear brooch from
