Waiting on the postman

I have been a little lazy when it comes to keeping up with my blog this last couple of weeks. Its seems reality came and gave me a smack across the back of the legs. We recently decided it was time we started to look for a new house to rent and as a result between getting home late and then dealing with the calls from eager estate agents I have found myself getting very tired and ratty. Ratty mainly because the estate agents don't seem listen to the customers needs and just try to fob you off with a flat that doesn't match your requirements. Never mind though, it will all come good in the end.

Thankfully though the hard work that has gone into the likes of Facebook and soon Pinterest I have seen a stead rise in orders both online and locally. Can't grumble there. I am looking forward to starting my Pinterest wall. I have to admit it may take me a while to figure out the best way to use it (just like the fb thing took a few days) but judging by what I have seen of others it looks to be a great platform to showcase goods from other crafters and myself alike (with appropriate links of course!!)

The past couple of weeks have seen a trend in my creative pattern - keyrings. Lots of them too. A little jewellery thrown on for luck. However things are starting to grind to a halt... just because the postman keeps dropping by when I am not in which means having my parcels redelivered and everything I need is currently sitting in bag/van. Fun Times! I think they should invent a way of having your parcels float to you the moment you click the buy button on the internet. Problem solved :) If I start a campaign do you think it will take?

My personal fave: Malteaster
The best biscuit in the world



I think I should use one of these on my allsorts bag. Or is that overkill?






Only a few photos... otherwise I would have a post the length of my arm :)

Since I have a couple of hours to kill before running off to the hairdresser, followed by more house hunting I am going to go and read up on the lovely blogs already posted up at 1st Unique Gifts for Handmade Monday.

  1. Oh yum, mouth-wateringly good. They are so lovely, especially the egg on toast. I know what you mean about internet ordering - as I click that last button, I expect my parcel to be at that door 2 seconds later. Hope you have a good week.

  5. I'm loving the malteaster bunny keyring, it looks so real! They all look great. I know how you feel with the postman, I hate waiting for a delivery then missing it and trying to find time to get to the sorting office. If you ever start that campaign you can count me in! x

  7. I think I have to agree, the chocolate bunny is my favorite, but the egg on toast is a close second. Really well done! I hope you get all of your parcels tho, that would be frustrating!
