Howies Competition

A while ago I joined Folksy.com, I guess you could call it the UK equivalent of Etsy. It's still in Beta at the moment (is that how you phrase it?), but it's a really neat site. I love Etsy, but am always willing to give new things ago. I tried dawanda a while back and even though I've had a few sales, I just can't seem to get to grips with the lay out, and never use it anymore. So I saw Folksy on another blog and thought I'd give it a try, I joined and listed one bag, then I forgot all about it, until very recently. When I rediscovered it I spent a bit more time looking around and have really come to like it, it's so nice that it's a UK site and there are a lot of familiar names on there. What I need to do now is make some things to go in the shop, something I'm struggling with at the moment (through lack of time - not ideas), I'm not even doing very well at stocking the Etsy shop, and I feel the Christmas shopping season is nearly upon us!!! Anyway, Folksy had a competition in conjunction with Howies, the brief was "Life is complicated. Sport is simple." It just ended at 9.00 am today, and I managed to get my entry finished yesterday, just in the nick of time! Here it is....
It's all about me time, getting out of the house and having a break from the baby!

Good luck with your entry! I am terrible with working ot briefs so I didn't enter. I like how the admins of Folksy really listen and get involved in the talking forums.

Also - don't worry about listing on etsy at the min because apparently new listings aren't appearing on searches etc... I subscribe to this etsybitch.blogspot.com which keeps me updated with current bugs.

I'll continue to blog about Artsmix... sounds like a good do and would be good to see you there

Hello there,
Whist reading your blog and enjoying myself looking at your fabulous monster bags. I suddenly relised I believe I could know your ant, who helped you out at the woolfest. Its only a hunch but is she an ant R and does she meet with friends once a month for a creative textile afternoon. If not I appologise for the confusion, but fabulous blog anyway!
