Bottoms Up!

I am so excited to show you some bottoms today!

See?

These cute and fabulous derrieres belong to this little swarm.

Aren't they adorable?

Several weeks ago I thought that I'd like to send something to all of the hipBees as a wee "hello" from me.  But what to send?

Well, the advantage of having some super crafty friends is that you know just who to go to when you have a secret commission.  Enter the gorgeous and talented Shannon, who blogs over at The Crafty Teen and sells her amazing polymer clay makes on her Etsy shop Poppy's Pocket.  She was just the girl for this job and I commissioned her to make these little bee charms for us.  Didn't Shannon do a sterling job?  And, how could you not love their flowery hippy bottoms?

Bee Paranoia:  "Does my bum look big in this?"  "Um, yeah!"

I am so chuffed to be able to send these to all of my hipBee friends a wee hipBee bee charm and I hope they have now arrived safely at each address.  The pressie is really all about the Bee charms but I did stitch up one of these for each of the hipBees too - Zakka Pencil Pouches.

Hope you all like them ladies!

Goodies!

Have a peek at these sweet lovelies brought to me by the postman yesterday.

Firstly, lovely soft fleece for simple wee projects I'm planning. These are so snuggly and sugary.

But the main event in post arrivals are from Shannon at Poppy's Pocket.  If you haven't had a wee peek around her Etsy shop yet, you need to go there now. (That's an order, not a suggestion.)

Shannon, creative wunderkind of my fab friend Judith,  enchants polymer clay to become the cutest, most fun jewellery around.  She sells earrings, necklaces, little charms and such inspired by Dolly Mixtures, flumps, donuts and cupcakes, which incidentally she can also bake fabulously, but I don't think she sends them through the post - sorry folks!  There are non food related makes too, like the fun and quirky moustache necklace for sale at the moment which I thought would be a great coded gift for a quilter - you know, "Must Stash"?

Anyway, before I told you fabulous peeps about Shannon's latest addition - pin toppers! - I made sure to add some to my shopping basket first (I can be selfish like that) and these are the lovelies that Mr Postie delivered -

These little Russian Dolls are for a new friend.  Don't you love their chubby gorgeousness?

The indulgent sweet-toothed yumminess of the other pin toppers are just for me - now I have an excuse to finally make myself a more feminine pincushion!  Flumps are one of my secret vices - just saying.

If you liked the look of these pin toppers and the other bits and pieces on Shannon's shop, you could always keep a wee eye on her blog where she announces the newest additions to the shop - you know, just to give yourself a chance to snarfle some before I do!  Or you could always add a wee word of encouragement so that she might know there's an interest in seeing more of these cutesies for sale.

Thanks Shannon for a fun post morning!
