Etsy Stock Take - Week Eight - Best of January.

Etsy Stock Take - Week Eight

Tweet #EtsyStockTake

UPDATE! Don't post your links here anymore, please click on the link to go over to the latest Etsy Stock Take! I plan to do this at the end of every calender week, so please look out for the newest post!

I'm in the UK for the week spending time with my family (drinking a lot of tea, eating a lot of bacon and slurping as much custard as I can... You know the deal!). So of course I haven't made anything this week for my shop.

Instead I decided to do a best of January post, highlighting my favourite items from the first four Etsy Stock Takes of the year. Click on the photo caption to go directly to the Etsy item.

Ready? Let's go...

Week One:

AlteredIris

 Week Two:

CuteBabyToys

Week Three:

ContempoJewels

Week Four:

BougainvilliersLane

I enjoyed putting that together! I hope you did too. You could be next :)

Until next week,

Join me:

I hope that you fellow Etsian's will join me in showcasing your new items each Sunday (or anytime after that really!).  Let's blog hop!

You have 2 options:

1. Write a new post on your blog (telling us about your new items), title it Etsy Stock Take and link back here, using the Mr Linky Blog Hop widget thingy at the bottom of this post.

2. Post a link that goes directly to your new items in the Mr Linky Blog Hop widget thingy at the bottom of this post (you can put up as many as you like!).

I will list the links to each week's stock take on my Etsy Stock Take page. Please go and have a browse!

It'd be lovely if you took a moment to go and check out some stuff that others post below. Let's show our support for each other craftwise!

I'm hoping that my goal of listing one item a week will be a powerful motivator and a source of promotion for us all...

 

What do you think?

Vintage Cars in Hamburg - Mini Cooper.

Mini Cooper - West Hamburg

I saw this little thing going past the Elbe centre in West Hamburg. So sweet.

Can you read what it says in the back window?

It says:

God save the Queen in this car. 

Heehee!

This is part of my new photography project: Vintage Cars in Hamburg. I now carry my camera wherever I go and I will collect pictures of old cars that I see while out and about. They just make me happy.

1. Mini Cooper
2. V.W. Beetle 
3. V.W. Beetle with vintage skis 

Any nice cars around your way?

Feathering my nest - Lux style.

Before

After!

For the last Making Winter blog hop I mentioned that I wanted to feather my nest and make things cosy inside so I could forget about the cold outside. I made little hearts trying to get to know my sewing machine a bit better, while also looking for ways to up-cycle my old beloved quilt.

This time I've just finished pimping up one of the hearts. I don't quite know what possessed me, but I just had to cover one side in beads.

Oh, I love the contrast in texture, homely and lux, matt and shiny. And it's so tactile. All my favourite things when it comes to making stuff! This little baby is promised to my sister (do you like it Tala?). That means I'll have to make another for myself!

I think I'm going to submit this for my Monthly Make as well :)

What are you making?
