To start with - my days are soooo boring it's not worth mentioning them in great detail lol! And today is only a few hours long for me so far, so we'll do yesterday.
I got up at about 8:30am, got ready and did my weekly weigh in. I've gone up 1 pound from last week :( Then I went for my appointment with my phsyciatrist (Sp?!). Yay. I go to see him about twice a year now - he's really good and actually knows what he's talking about, which I've found is rare after 9 years in the mental health service.
After that I went with my Mum to the town to do the twice weekly shop. There I bought some yarn in Wilkinsons.Whenever I go in there I just HAVE to buy some lol!
We came home and I had my lunch, which was a Weight Watchers sandwich from Asda. I had a shower and after that had a little sleep. I got up at about 4:30pm and had my dinner.
After dinner I went on my computer and did some general looking round, then I started crocheting a Happy Poo lol! I made it for my cousin's husband Lee - he thought it was highly amusing when I mentioned I can crochet a poo lmao!
In the late evening I put Film 4 on and watched 2 films - Don't Say A Work and The Cell. They were ok. After that it was early morning and time to go to bed.
Told you it was interesting. And that's a good day!!

Etsy... Saturday!
I've been neglecting my blog of late, and as a result am behind with all my posts. So Etsy Friday has been moved to Saturday this week. I hope to be more on-the-ball with posting updates next week ;)
This weeks theme: Rainbows!
I decided to make this weeks theme Rainbows after seeing these cute little coinholders by Magination! Aren't they cute?! I think my favourite one is either the orange or green one. Each pouch measures approx. 2" x 2", so they're small enough to attach to a bag or keyring.
Item Listing: Rainbow of Coinholder Keychains - Pick One
Shop: M-agination
12 wool felt balls make this fab bracelet by WishesAndSpells - I really like it! It fits a 6.7'' wrist, but can be made smaller or bigger depending on your own wrist size. I'd love to try felting - but like most crafts I want to try I don't know where to start! WishesAndSpells also has a matching necklace in her shop, which is also great!
Item Listing: Rainbow Bracelet
Shop: WishesAndSpells
Kawaii! I love this Psychedelic Jackalope by Tranifer! The discription says he enjoys raspberry tea, candy necklaces and spending time with other antlered bunnies. Aawww! Check out the listing page and see the 4th picture - he has a cute little pink tail!

Etsy Friday - LafesHiddenTreasures
This Week: LafesHiddenTreasures!
A few weeks ago the lovely Nancy from Lafes Hidden Treasures was kind enough to feature me on her blog, so in return I said I'd feature her fab Etsy shop on mine!
I love Nancys shop! It's full of cute vintage items, including this Appliqued Flower Quilt! Measuring 28'' square, each flower is appliqued by hand then machine sewn and can be used as either a wall hanging or table cloth. I love anything with flowers on it so this really appealed to me!
I'd like to say thanks again to Nancy for featuring my shop on her blog - it' really appreciated!

This weeks Etsy Friday theme - Teddy Bears!
I really like this fused glass pendant by MakenaLeiCreations! Made with light weight glass, it measures approx. 1 1/8'' by 1 1/2''. I'd love to try fused glass myself, but wouldn't know where to start. Seems very complicated!
