Unique Home or Garden Hanging Decorations

Three Bees and Nectar Bee hearts mosaic hanging decoration


I've also been making a selection of hanging decorations that can be used in the home or garden. Lots of bees and butterflies to brighten up a wall or fence. These bees all have iridescent wings that shine with metallic colours when the light catches them. There's the Nectar Bee heart with bumblebees heading towards a shining amber drop and the Three Bees have similar backgrounds to the hearts with a greens and pale pink Abstract Garden background, there's the creams and beige Honeycomb background and a turquoise ombre background on the Three Bees and shades of sky blues on the heart.




Cloud of Butterflies Mosaic Hanging Heart







There's also the Clouds of Butterflies hearts with iridescent, matt and translucent butterflies making lovely palettes of colour to hang in the home or garden.










Butterflies and Daisies Mosaic Hanging Decoration







More butterflies can be found on the Butterflies and Daisies decoration, with each daisy having a mini millefiori daisy at it's centre and the butterflies having iridescent wings.









Mini Holly Wreath and Winter Holly Hearts







And finally, as it's getting to that time of year, there's some Mini Holly Wreaths and some Holly Winter hearts all with iridescent, matt and traslucent leaves and raised red berries all on a cracked, icy white background.

Holly and Autumn Wreath and Heart

Holly Decorative Mini Wreath and Heart 




I've dipped into decorative wreaths. Seems like it's a bit of a thing now judging by how many I've seen around since I've started making mine. The original idea was to make a mini holly wreath as a festive decoration, but when the design was finished it seemed to just suit being a decorative design for the winter, or even all year. It's not overly festive at all.









Autumn Decorative Mini Wreath and Heart





As the holly version could be a winter decoration, I thought I'd try an Autumn version too. So with some red and orange berries, autumn leaves and some twiggy bits too, this is that design.

Folksy Handmade - Cats and Dogs


I've done gift guides for Gardeners, one for Men, and there were collections of Scarves, and another with things with Shape designs on, which both had loads of choices and ideas in. So for this week's Folksy Friday I've decided to do a list for our furry friends. This is a list for cats and dogs, but some of the things can be used for other small pets too. There's some lovely stuff for the pampered pooches, and cosseted cats in our households here.

Have a click on the pic if you want more photos and details on anything.

Folksy Handmade - Men!

This week's Folksy Friday is another gift idea selection, and it's a theme that seems to be a bit of a struggle for a lot of people. What to buy the fellas. I've tried to collect together a range of prices and styles so there should be an idea or two here for what to get most blokes - dads, brothers, OH's, and the rest. Most of the difficult to buy for fellas have to shave. Or if they don't, they can't object to a nice, warm, muted colour scarf. Surely? Men!

(p.s. I collected this lot at the start of the week, before Folksy decided to send out a flipping email with their massive collection of gifts for men. Mind you, I think there's only one of the shops I've got items from on their list, so this Folksy Friday is even more choice for you.)

Folksy Handmade - Crafty Christmas Cards



Suncatcher Christmas Tree Card


I've made my first Christmas Cards this year after I had been experimenting with hand painted suncatcher designs on other cards. I like the idea of something a bit different for Christmas cards. And I like the idea of a craft being used to create the design. So for this week's Folksy Friday collection I've put together a selection of handmade cards with different crafts being used to make the designs. Something special to send this Christmas.

As always, click on the pic to go to the seller's shop.

Suncatcher Christmas Tree Cards

Suncatcher Christmas Tree Cards

Suncatcher Christmas Tree Card


This is my latest listing, a set of four Christmas Tree Suncatcher Cards. The design is handpainted onto clear acetate with translucent paint so when the light shines through the card the baubles light up and become jewel  -like. I am really enjoying experimenting with these suncatcher cards. They are something a bit different from the norm, and should light up the recipient's day.

Folksy Handmade - Garden Gifts




Moonlight Ripple Bird Bath
Had to start with this, didn't I. The first of my gift idea lists is things for gardeners. I think people who like their gardens are very easy to buy for, but that may be because I like gardening and grow your own. People who aren't so keen on it all might find it more difficult to know what to buy a gardener. So this list is a little inspiration that might help. (I think all gardeners like wildlife in their garden, that's why I've got a few wildlife items included.) If you know the style a gardener likes in their house, it's more than likely they'll like the same in their garden.

As I did last year with my gift idea lists, I'll try and include things with a range of prices to suit all.
