Made my first Etsy Treasury today

Boy did that take a long time! Spent literally hours hunting out things in my chosen green leafy theme. There's just so much stuff on there its a very slow process to find the photos you want to include.
Check out my "New Shoots" treasury here.
Let me know what you think! It was fun to put together, though I probably should have been tidying the house before going back to work tomorrow. Ah well...

More wallpaper clocks are almost done!


Well, I've had a productive Sunday painting, gluing and varnishing my latest batch of wallpaper clocks. I'm loving them! I should have some clock movements waiting for me at the post office tomorrow, so they'll be completed in no time... then for some photos and straight onto etsy. Now if they would just start selling. I'll be taking them all along to my upcoming markets in May (Handmade Hobart) and July (The Market). I've had a really good response on etsy and have been included in a couple of treasuries, one of which neeeearly got me on the front page (I was a "reserve"). 

Taking photos at this time of year is getting to be difficult, with the daylight ending so early. I work fulltime (plus some) and am never home before the light fades. Very frustrating having to wait for the weekend to take photos. My other task iver the next few weeks is to get together a really good looking display set up for my craft fair stall. My mannequin head will be great, but I need some kind of shelves to give the display some height. Will try and find some groovy vintage stuff.

The first of the wallpaper clocks have made it to my Etsy shop!


I've started listing my wallpaper clocks on the etsy shop . I have high hopes for them. I've also received notification in the last couple of days that I've been accepted by The Market Hobart (the one at the Masonic Temple) for the July 4 market, and by Handmade Hobart for the 15th and 16th of May. Can't wait. Must buy more supplies for clocks and fabric for some warm cosy little neckties for winter.
