… and not enough of it.

Writing essays this week and next so not much posting.

You’ll be pleased to hear my print addiction continues a pace (thank you Etsy) and this weekend we start to paint over the dire ‘urine yellow’ colour walls in the bedroom with fresh clean white eggshell undercoat.

When my projects are done I promise some pictures of the flat, our painting, DIY capers and our hung prints - this site is looking bare!

We are also thinking of hiring - for some traditional bank holiday DIY - an angle grinder. Watch out neighbourhood…

 
 

The Delight of Etsy 16 April 2007

Filed under: Art and Craft, Design — bobble @ 4:36 pm

Etsy is addictive. It’s crack for crafters, it should be made illegal. There is such a wide variety of things on there: paintings, paper goods, prints, bags, purses, jewellery, clothes, toys, photographs… I almost click with dread when I go on Etsy, I just know I’ll end up buying something cute.

Well, I have bought a few things for me and the flat recently and wanted to recommend the lovely sellers who’ve brightened my day and my home.
