Here I am!

It just struck me that some people visiting this blog, especially those coming via Blogtoberfest *waves* might not know exactly where to find me online other than this blog. So I thought I would tell you all :) If you know all of this already then feel free to ignore me and go about your daily business!

Selling wise (which I will get out of the way first), you can find me on Etsy and also Folksy selling my upcycled treasures. I also have a range of chicken doorstops on Dorothy and Theodore - the fabrics used there are exclusive to them (in doorstop versions)

I also have a vintage shop online called Anya's Attic after our elder daughter! It sells lots of different things and is crying out to have the gorgeous things I found in France over the summer added to it. I just need extra hours in the day!

I am an avid Tweeter and am nearing 25,000 tweets! Erm, maybe that's where I can gain my extra hours from! I also have a Facebook business page, which I resisted at first, but now I love it :) You can find me too on Flickr, Linkedin and I also run Cuteable which is sometimes a chore yet at other times I find it thrilling to be looking at and finding all the cute out there.

My favourite thing at the moment (and something else I resisted) is Pinterest. It's fan-dabby-dozy and I love that I have somewhere to store all the great things I come across on the internet.

Like this cool tree.

And this yummy bread

And things that make me drool like this chair :)

So, where do you hang out online?
Do you have a Twitter or Pinterest addiction like me?
Are questions at the end of blog posts annoying or do they encourage you to comment?

Shorty awards

I'm sure you remember me bleating on about the Shorty Awards and how I had got to 2nd place? Well when the polls closed I was actually 1st! It's a pity that craft wasn't an official category but if it was I'm sure I would have needed more than 13 votes to be top :) The screenshot was taken as soon as I hit 1st as I was sure I wouldn't be there for long hence the difference in votes!

This is always what you want to see...

.....when you come back downstairs and refresh your Twitter account to see what has been going on in the world.

A bloody great big red box that says account suspended! Am not sure why but they should be resolving it soon :)

Vintage buttons

So I have been busy for the past few days getting some of my vintage buttons sorted and sewn onto cards in colour themed sets - my extensive research on Twitter showed that colour sets were preferable to mixed! Here are the sets I have listed so far over in my Anya's Attic Etsy shop.

The pink set - I love those flower ones!

The purple set - it's a pity that I didn't have more of those big ones as they would have been perfect on a coat I have!

And the white set. These are beautifully patterned.

So I would be grateful for any feedback you have on these sets - thanks. Oh and you wouldn't believe the state of my thumbs after sewing this lot onto cards - holes galore!!

Quickie.......

As I'm actually going to get off the computer today and make some things :) I have a mountain of fabric waiting on the floor and peg bags are waiting to be made.

I'll hopefully be back later with piccies or at least an update of how I'm doing. I'll still be twittering though so you can keep up with me there if you are bored :)
