etsy favourites : cats in the rain

Yay! I've got a wee bit of my Etsy treasury making groove back at the moment and it's making me very happy indeed... :)

I had forgotten how much of a welcome distraction searching for pretties and curating them into equally pretty collections can be. While it gives me a wee break from crocheting, photographing, answering messages and tons of other work stuff it really helps to maintain and even stimulate my creative energy. It's such a great pick me up and a whole lot of fun too!

Above is 'that cat's got serious attitude...' inspired by my love of all things pinky-peachy-orange and of course wee 'Herb' there who seems to be eyeing up those butterflies for a wee bit of mischief!

Below is a collection I made last week and sadly the sentiment is still holding true today, 'some days it just keeps on raining...' *sigh* Oh, how I would love to have a wee rant about all this dreariness and how I feel like I'm still stuck in miserable winter mood, but I shall not! Instead this wee collection is serving as a reminder of the beauty and inspiration that can be found in those heavy rainclouds once you choose to adjust your perspective of the world.

Wishing you all a pinky-peachy-orangey kind of day... :)

    1. Miss Ivy, I haven't made any of them for months and thought I had moved on to new ways of sharing my Etsy faves... but lately I've rekindled that old spark again!
      You should totally give it a go again too, it's so good for a wee boost of creative motivation... :)

  4. And your collections are always so, so, so beautiful. Sometimes when I spot a certain type of color, I remind myself that Emma would like it and not to pass it over for it's not-so-saturated ways. =)
