And the winner is....
The winner of my March Give-away has been chosen using the random.org number generator. It's not very clear from the picture but that's an 8 and the eighth commenter was Urban Craft, who I'm just waiting to hear back from so I can send off her prize package...all the way to Oregon!
I was delighted that so many people took the time to leave really helpful and very lovely comments...56 in all.I feel a bit guilty that I can't send everyone a prize - but thank you all so much ! It's great to know which things you like best (and worst) and although it seems like different people are drawn to different types of work there were a few things which came out as clear favourites...probably the bunnies purses and birdie brooches.
Both have been featured recently in treasuries that made it to the front page on Etsy , which was very exciting...even if I was asleep at the time! Luckily there's a flickr group where you can find screenshots of FP treasuries.I'm so grateful for these features and am overdue with my thankyous...so here goes.
The items in this one were chosen by etsy admin , which feels like a great compliment :-) The same bunnies purse was featured yesterday on the Autonomous Artisans blog in an article written by Rose of feltgiraffe .Thank you so much Rose!
It was also lovely seeing my birdie brooch cropping up in this stunning turquoise and red ensemble chosen by the very lovely and talented Emily Moss AKA Ravenhill (I am the very lucky owner of one of her sweet dolls)
Alison , who makes stunning contemporary silver jewellery Ali Bali Jewellery - wrote about Etsy's shop local tool on her blog yesterday , and as I live near her Edinburgh home town, she featured one of my new silk cat purses.Thanks Alison!
I've taken a bit of time away from the computer this week. The previous week I'd been making at least two things a day, photographing them , editing the pictures , listing them in my shops , twittering, blogging, flickering, you name it, for hours a day...and guess what? I ended wiped out and somewhat agitated.I guess I just don't have that kind of stamina...anyone else feel like that sometimes? So I'm back to limiting computer time for a while , and looking for balance - but it's difficult.

Congratulations on the FP treasuries. Good luck with analyzing the all the feedback.
Thanks again for a wonderful giveaway. I am so excited to get my prize! You rock!
I am definitely feeling like this Julia. Too many possibilities leading to much inaction and a huge lack of stamina. Blogging has become my soul outlet recently. I may have to join you and play hookey from the computer for a while. I struggle with choosing between materials and medium. It should be possible to combine them but then I end up not doing anything but my fingers are twitching madly for making. I do feel lucky to have such choices to make and wish you luck in finding yours :} xox
