HaPpY  halLoWeeN !

I wanted to share with you this splendid seller i met on etsy. 

I had spotted a bag charm which i wanted to pop into my lil sis's christmas stocking, but it was pink and she is not a pink girl!

 i contacted Marie at Poshplushie and she kindly custom made one in blue for me.(She actually made two and gave me a choice)

 It arrived the other day and it is wonderful!  she also included a most pretty wee brooch, all of which was beautifully gift wrapped ready for giving. 

So if you have the time do visit her shop, you won't be disappointed   : )

It won't be long now, so here is my halloween  treasury!

I am doing another batch of linoprints just now. 

This is  i think, my favourite stage, no colours down yet, 

just the linoleun cut and ready to go. 

There is so much promise here and as yet, i haven't messed it up!

More photographs to follow.

Just incase you were wondering, it's autum here in Scotland.

This week seems to be turning into a Yellow/Orange kind of week. Whether it's home-made apple jelly, a roll of embroidery thread i found in a charity shop, perfect for  finishing a project i'm working on of a lovely, yummy cake brought round by a freind to accompany our gossip session! 

What about you what colour of week are you having?
