Folksy Friday – Matryoshka dolls
Well it’s been a while since I’ve had a moment to myself, so I’m making the most of it and doing the first Folksy Friday in a while. As I’ve just booked to see my family in Poland and ‘Poland’ isn’t an easy theme I’ve gone for Russian dolls, as I remember getting one from… Read more »

Yay!! I have to say I’ve had a great day, and want to share my good news with you all – I accepted a permanent position at work today 🙂 Although I’ve enjoyed the freedom of freelancing since I was made redundant (and at times it’s been great to have more time for crafty/Folksy things)… Read more »

Folksy Listings – Day 21
We’re on the home stretch (thought I’d get the marathon puns in early – just realised the London marathon is on my birthday this year!) Only 9 days to go I keep telling myself as another 9 items seems like a marathon in itself at the moment. My full-time job and commute don’t allow much… Read more »
