Juggling Balls and Pretty Things To Look At....

Do you ever feel like you are juggling too many balls?

The irony is, I can actually juggle balls, I think 5 balls is my best. Having trained theatrically for four years altogether, I looked forward to the day of the week when we would practise our *Circus Skills* I can spin plates, do the diabolo, stilt walk, a little uni cycling. So juggling seems quite an easyish one. Well, in life terms, I am struggling with all my balls, and think I may have to drop one or two. I do think however, tis not too bad a thing, as for me, the quality of my balls is far, far more important than the quantity of them. There are so many things going on, maybe I am going through a busy phase.

Well, anyway, I do hope life is treating you well and that you have a smile upon your face today. As I mentioned, I wanted to let you all see the lovely swap I had from Mrs Yappy Dog for the flower swap. Here they are again all prettily wrapped up.

And here are the pretties B sent me, well, looking pretty :0)

What a pretty card, floral candle and crystal flower.

Lovely floraly fabric for crafting, it was lovely that B remembered I have a thing or two for daisy's.

Very cute, and very well made lavender pillow, that smells delicious.

Wonderful Sweet Peas, and adorable hanging heart, again with pretty daisy's on it.

And a wonderful and floral hand painted silk scarf, that was painted by the talented Mrs Yappy Dog herself.

Isn't it beautiful and pretty.

Thank you so much B for a lovely swap, I have had fun chatting with you online. I hope you like the floral pretties I have now sent you. Here they are, all wrapped up in their new stripy coats :0)

If you would like to see the lovely flower swaps that were sent, there is a lovely Flickr group here

I have also been sent a very pretty package from my good friend Jennifer We have done a little swap, actually I was more than happy to send out my pretties that Jennifer wanted me to make, as a little thank you, for being a lovely friend, but no, the lovely Jennifer wanted to send something pretty in return. Look and see.

What wonderful handmade treats I got sent, not one, but two beautiful crocheted corsages.

I thought this looked pretty....

and practical too, marvellous.

Thank you so much Jennifer, you are far too kind to send me something, though so very, very nice and I adore everything. I hope you like your lavender hearts I made for you and floral fabric. I hope you get your pretties soon. :0)

Talking of handmaking, here are a couple of pretties I have been making for my Vintage Daisy Store A cute tote, handmade for a customer who also likes to wear pretty corsages too, so what could be perfect, a pretty two in one bag :0)

Cute floral and pretty lining.

And the pretty corsage.

I am also having fun making pretty fabric necklaces and bracelets for Vintage Daisy Here is a little taster of one of the necklaces I have made.

I hope you like it.

 Of course, to make pretty necklaces, I need pretty ribbon, and where better to go, than to a lovely online store Patch

Which is owned by my lovely online friend Claire at Dolly Dollop Please do have a look, there shall soon be pretty fabric coming too.

Well, we have a busy Easter ahead of us, so I better pick up those pretty balls I dropped and get juggling ;0)

Take Care
