Just a bit shabby....

Bear in a frame!

I absolutely love these! One of my all time favourite makes. There is something so charmingly endearing about him.
All he needs now is a new home!

What a bad blogger I have been yet again!
In my defence I have been really busy with commissions, working the flea market, looking after the old folk & running the house. We all have busy lives & trying to juggle everyday life & a small business can be tough sometimes but it is worth it.

Time to share some new makes that have hit the shelves this week. So much to share so will just upload lots of pictures for you & alot less chit-chat lol.
I am out & about blogging on the go so can only download one picture per post...so have done a few collages & will do seperate posts.
Hope everyone is having a good week....until next time....catch ya later special Llama's.x

Tick Tock

Flea Market!

Time to work on more Clocks

Just a quick share of one of the clocks I made today. Lots more to come!

FLEA MARKET!

Good morning my special Llama's....I am in the flea market today working away on new pieces & changing up our displays.
I have soo much to get done this week that my head is spinning.
Our steampunk makes are flying, I am going to have to close the order books soon so I can keep up with demand.
Lots of new projects in the pipeline & an hoping to find some time to work with clay again.
Exciting times ahead.

Lot's to do

After a very busy day at the flea market I came home to a whole load of housework (😢) but I am  now finally able to sit down & take five minutes to relax.

Today I was painting & prepping all the freestanding letters ( full alphabet this time), ready to steampunk up, to go with the hotair balloons & clocks I am working on.
Nic sat & cut hundreds of cogs & after nearly losing the will to live we managed to get it all ready to move on to the next stage. (I forget how much work is involved in making these). We always have a laugh though so that helps.
That's my day sorted tomorrow. It is great that we can craft in the flea market.....I would be pulling alot of all nighters if not.
Once these letters are finished I am looking forward to working with polymer clay again. I want to make some bookworms for some teachers gifts, & some fairies for some girly makes.
Tonight I am sharing some random pictures of what I have been up to these last few weeks....
Until next time, catch ya later Special Llamas...

Morning all & what a beautiful morning it is here in Cardiff.
Another lovely day that I will miss out on as I am sat crafting away on orders LOL.
It is great to be busy, & I enjoy what I do so I am not complaining.....much 😊

All this week I have been busy on commissioned pieces, eight in total...so have been crafting like a maniac! (To the detriment of the housework).
Normally I would hand these pieces over, forget to take pictures, & be apologising here for the lack of new posts......
Shock horror....I remembered to take a few pics of two of the makes, &, am putting them in this post!
I amaze myself sometimes.

Today will be filled with more crafting, cleaning, washing, ironing, & at some point I do have to brave the outside world & go shopping. Tomorrow I have a day of crafting planned at Nics house. We don't often get the chance to craft together so am looking forward to it,  & I am sure there will be wine involved at some point so Happy Days!
I need to keep going before I lose my mojo.....so until next time. Catch ya later Special Llama's.

Lil Beasties

Sneak peek of something new...
I am trying to fit in a little polymer clay fun inbetween all the paper crafting & wreath making.
Busy times ahead. 😊

Time flies!

Once again I seem to be neglecting this blog....I took a rather nasty tumble down the stairs last week & it has set me back a bit.
I have finally managed to do some crafting today & am busy playing catch-up.
The only thing I have finished is this "Whatever" clock, the rest of my projects (when I get them finished) are baby related for the flea market.
I have a bag packed with lots of things to work on at the market tomorrow as I am now two weeks behind & desperately need to re-stock the shelves with lovely new goodies.
My day isn't long enough to fit everything in & I can only work when the painkillers are working lol.
Will share more pictures with you soon, until then catch ya later special Llama's!

Steampunk

Well touch wood, so far Friday 13th is going OK for me LOL.
Just a quick share of a nice little steampunk configurations box I made last night. I will definitely be making more in different styles.
I am very very busy today juggling five different orders & three projects that all have to be finished by tomorrow! Trying to remain calm & not panic!
Have a great weekend everyone & catch you all later.

Work in progress

Evening all. Beautiful day today...shame it isn't set to last.
I am getting down to some serious crafting tonight. Lots of orders to do (as soon as supplies arrive), plus I am beavering away at more steampunk goodies.
Below is a picture of a nearly completed "mini" steampunk hotair balloon. Very cute.
Lots to do so I am off to crack on....so until next time...catch ya later Special Llama's!

I love this quote.

New makes coming soon!

Afternoon all.....I am taking five minutes to myself before I crack on with my "to do" list which is growing longer by the second.
I have been very busy this week with not just crafting but all the boring housework to. If I want to take the evening off tomorrow to watch rugby I need to get it all done & dusted by the morning.
I have a few new pieces to take to the flea market on Saturday....some lovely cone wreaths that I am really pleased with.
People are going mad for them so they never hang around long...I must remember to take pictures this time lol.
I am hoping to have time to play with the polymer clay again soon...I want to try & improve on my "babies"....practice makes perfect but it is finding the time to practice that is the hard part.
Best go crack on before I lose my mojo!
Until next time...catch ya later Special Llama's

Something new

Well what can I say but Oh my days never again lol.....This car has driven me to distraction all day!
After four hours of sanding, painting, guilding, glueing (& alot of cursing under my breath), I have finally finished it....phew.
Not one piece fitted as it shoud have, so I had to improvise. It was tough going & at times I nearly smashed it up but I kept going & I am glad I did, as I do quite like the end result.
I will add more pictures to this post on Thurs so you can have a proper look.

I am trying to make like mad to get more goodies to take to the flea market, but I seem to be on a go slow this week. Last week I managed to do quite a bit including making a HUGE to do list for this week but if I am honest I think I have been a little too ambitious & forgot to factor in things like housework, shopping & sleeping lol.
I am about to revise said list & give myself a few weeks to get it all done.
It is time for me say goodnight & to get some sleep as once again I have been working past midnight & my alarm is set for 6am. (I need every bit of beauty sleep I can get lately).
So until next time...catch ya later Special Llama's.
