    My colour of the week is crimson and here are the winners from my Esty colour search. A funny thing happened this week, I started to look past the product and focus on the photo, which is what attracted me to the last two, especially the Swarovksi crystal beads. Just goes to show that a…

    So here’s a new one for me this year. I’ve decided to combine two things I love in a weekly post. My first love is colour and I’m sure every creative soul out there would feel the same. Do you stumble when someone asks you what your favourite colour is? I dedicated almost two years…

    These little houses – called a Gingerbread Village are the work of Sam from inklore etsy store. Her designs are very simple, naive and original. This is a tea towel but she also prints on paper. I love the reusable gift bag and her store categories of carry, wear, eat, live. Need I say more.

    Pouncing has taken on a very festive mood of late. I couldn’t resist including all three from a single pounce page as they were all cards – and nice too! It’s really fun doing a pounce so close to Christmas you can see what’s going to be in people’s stockings! These creations are from (top)…

    It was a long time to find the right pounce this morning but this is what I finally landed on. Firstly, the colour and then the chairs – I really have a thing for chairs. I also love the story that went with it .. “This is a picture of Martin the rooster’s beloved chair…

    I must confess that I was a little less random in my pouncing today. I purposefully went in search of snowflakes and knew that if I just kept hitting the Pounce Again button then something would appear – being so close to Christmas. It didn’t take that long to land on these gorgeous snowflake wall…

    Look what arrived today! I am in fabric heaven. This is the stash that will be used to create my next quilt. I was going to publish a picture of the pattern I plan to follow but then I thought it would be nice to see it evolve here. I went with fabrics by Sandi…

    I couldn’t go past this bicycle charm in today’s pounce. I have a bike mad husband (not that there’s anything wrong with that) and we spent a very small part of this morning watching a criterium that he chose not to take part in. This charm, complete with moving parts, is from Charmed Living etsy…

    It’s been a slow pounce day today. I hit the Pounce Again button many times before I stumbled upon this little star. I have a thing for stars so they will always catch my eye. This pretty little one is the work of d’Pholk Designs etsy store. Besides the stars there are many other cool…

    I seem to have an eye for the whimsical at the moment. It’s quite unusual for the first listing in a pounce to catch my eye, but here it is. This cute little glass pendant is from Designs by Linda Nee etsy store. With Christmas just around the corner, or so advertisers would have us…
