Lilley's handcrafted lovelies

Yay for Fridays...

...Friday here is pretty good...

So far we have been on a lovely long walk, in to town and round the farmers market, it's the first time I've been to the Cheltenham farmers market, and it was definitely worth it.  We got ourselves lots and lots of yummy food and Milo got himself lots and lots of admirers as usual!

The leaves really are incredibly beautiful at the moment, it's sad to think that in a few more weeks they will all be gone until spring.

Yesterday this little dino arrived for Milo...

...it's from littlealouette and is super lovely, it's very chunky and as much as Milo likes to chew it he also likes the very loud noise it makes when he throws it on the floor.  My original purchase of this little dino got lost somewhere on its journey, but the lovely Amy shipped me out another last week which arrived yesterday.  I wonder what happens to lost packages?  Do you think some mailman somewhere between here and Canada is happily chewing on Milo's original teether?! 

I discovered this morning that I am in this toothbreakingly sweet treasury...

I'm also having  a super BIG sale in my etsy lilley shop this weekend (buy one get one free!!!) this post has more details.

Plus at this very moment, Milo is napping upstairs and I am eating cold left over pizza from last night and drinking coffee...pretty good times I reckon! 

Happy Friday's to you all xxxx

Crafting 84 and 85/365...

...I lost a day over the weekend somewhere.  I did the crafting I just didn't do the blogging and have been meaning to catch up with myself all week, so here we go, 2 days in one!

...more lovehearts (I've been doing a big order for someone) and some ninja beads....

Mailing List....

...hello...

...I've been wondering for a while what the best ways to run giveaways and special deals and promotions in my shops would be...and I think I have come up with the best way...for me anyway.

I am going to start a mailing list and send out important news and lovely deals once every 3 months...I figured any more was quite a lot and didn't want anyone getting fed up of hearing from me!  Once a month I will however be running a giveaway, in which anyone on the list will be entered into to win wonderful handmade prizes!

I will post about the prizes up for grabs on the first of each month and announce the winner on the 7th.

So if you fancy being in with a chance of winning some of my handcrafted delights and getting special offers in my online stores, either leave me a comment here (I'll be able to see your email address without you needing to include it in the comment for the world to see) or email me at lovelylilley[at]hotmail.co.uk just pop 'mailing list' as the subject (you  can send me a little note too if you like, but it's not necessary). 

I'll announce the details of my first giveaway on the 1st November.

Moo...

these arrived this morning...and I just had to share them with you...

I always have loved my moo cards...but today they came in a very pretty new box...with a filing system and everything!

Plus I got myself some free business cards from here!

As always I am incredibly happy with these purchases.

Crafting 81/365 (folksy upcycle christmas)...

...finally finished...

my folksy upcycle christmas competition entry, you can see a million more pictures here (well not quite a million but quite a lot) and you can visit my actual listing here.

Crafting 80/365...

...glow in the dark ninjas...

 

I only made a small first batch of these and the two I listed in my etsy shop have already found themselves new homes, so I thought I ought to make up a few more.  I'll be listing these little lovelies and also some glow in the dark ninja keyrings in both my etsy and folksy shops this afternoon.

Crafting 79/365...

...stitching little red houses...

 so I know I was meant to be finishing my folksy upcycle entry...but I got a little distracted and ended up sewing this little hoop instead!  

It's already available in my shop over here. xx

Crafting 78/365...

...sunshine ninjas...

On gloomy days like these what better way to bring a little sunshine into your life than with one of these bright and cheery ninjas?!

Unfortunately I didn't get round to finishing off my upcycle entry yet...today maybe? Hopefully!
