Saturday Shopping Day at zsazsazsu

      Saturday Shopping Day is a game made up over at  zsazsazsu .

      The aim is to show the latest items you've made and pool them together with others'  by linking them to zsazsazsu blog. Something like an eclectic on-line boutique...

 Zsazsazsu makes the most amazing jewelry that is bold and colourful and utterly irresistable.

So here are my latest:

I finished some Baby Pink Flowers.

And they're in the shop.

In their own section, as they're part of the egst team's 'caps for good' fundraising effort.

And the back view:

So for more Saturday shopping ideas, click for zsazsazsu's  list.

I spy....Bias Hat

 This month I've got my eye on these wonderful hats:

Bias Hat by celapiu on Etsy:

 Perfect for days like today.

My Creative Space

This is what things look like around here at the moment:

These flowers are addictive.

For more creative spaces and wonderful blogs to explore head over to kootoyoo.

One down

   This one's done.

    And off to its new home already...

Hot Pink!

These are some hot pink organza flowers I made lately:

They're going to be turned into brooches.

Baby Pink Heart!

At last!

Finished and photographed.

And this one's already in the shop:

30% of all these baby pink hearts go to the Greek Etsy Team's charity campaign to aid the Save The Children organization.(Read more here.)

Getting there..

Almost done.

My Creative Space

Today I'm making these little pink flowers.

 They are being prepared for the "Caps For Good' campaign of the Greek etsy team.

'Caps for Good' is an initiative of the global humanitarian organization Save the Children, and it asks knitters and crocheters to make and donate a little cap to help fight infant mortality in poor countries.

Unfortunately, I can't do either.

 So part of the proceeds from these little baby pink flowers will be  my contribution to the team effort  to support the global one.

Hopefully they'll be in the shop in a day or two.

More creative spaces at kootoyoo.

I spy......Butterfly Brooches

This week, I've got my eye on  Misty Aurora's gorgeous butterfly brooches:

                                                 If I could choose only one accessory for this month, this would have to be it.
