Ha!

 

I am about to get a new tattoo (which i am very excited about!), i will of course show you once it's done. I just have to wait till the image is finalised and then book the appointment, eek. Lets hope they're slightly better than this guy!

Etsy sales!

Well hello there happy campers! Sorry i've been so quiet of late. I've been feeling a little bit sorry for myself and mainly working and watching Gossip Girl (please don't judge me. I would judge me, if i wasn't stupidly addicted to it!).

But this is naughty. I am running low on stock and have been neglecting my wonderful blog, stock levels at Manna Tearooms and above all my Etsy shop.

However, yesterday a lovely lady decided that she likes some of the items already on Etsy and bought two packets of evelopes. Yay.

My Etsy store has been a little slow, and i have therefore been concentrating on selling my things direct. But this has given me a little kick up the bum and means i'm going to give it some TLC.

If you'd like to look at my Etsy store you can find it here. I will try and add more things in the next few weeks. 

So thank you lovely lady who bought some envelopes, i hope you love them!

Happy.

Ok, maybe i won't be that happy. But i will try my hardest, and who knows i just might be. What have you got planned? Will you have a good day? Got good things planned that make you happy? I hope so!

Pick yourself up and brush yourself off.

Howdy there, are you well? I do hope so. I am ok, not great but ok. I think that it's fine to sometime be just ok. You can't be happy all the time.

If you need a little smile putting back on your face then have a look at these Etsy lovelies. It's been a while since i did a post of lovely bits from Esty and the theme today is the 1980's. Fab.

There's something very comforting about 80's nostalgia. Don't you think? I do, but maybe it's my age.

A knitted bus stop in Portsmouth!

Good morning to you. Now i know it's Friday and nearly the weekend and all that (for those who don't work the weekend, hmpf) but it still doesn't make getting out of bed any easier. Especially when it's this cold. I don't like the cold.

But at least it's been lovely and sunny so i can't complain really (even if i just did a little bit).

However this put a smile on my face: Guerilla Knitters, a local knitting group, have been working hard and have transformed a bus shelter on Eastney road, Portsmouth into a knitted living room! Amazing.

I have mentioned yarn bombing around Portsmouth before, i think it's great and makes an otherwise boring and dreary object into something sunny and bright and fun.

(please note that all the photos i am using are kindly taken from Georgina Giles' blog here).

The installation is “a comment on homelessness and the financial crisis that grips the country at the present time”. I think it's great. I haven't had a chance to see it myself yet but i'm going to have to go and check it out.

It's also going to be installed in various places around Portsmouth, i don't know where yet but i am trying to find out. I'll let you know if i do.

Cutest biscuits ever?

I think they may well be!

If only there was a purple one!
