I'm going to try to sell my silly little crafts at the Funky Flea this Sunday. My only goal is to have a lovely time and make my booth fee back. #fleamarket #halisky

A pile a random things with some handmade signs on top.
One sogn is long and pale blue with clouds in the background. It has garlands written on it.
One is yellow with, everything is handmade with (mostly) secondhand materials.
There are some other signs that are obscured.

A cork board with felt charms on it. Some are fish, some a birds, some are cats. Then there are some trees

Just a big pile of garlands in front of a hanging rail with more garlands on it.

Halifax is looking very pretty this morning. A good day for tobogganing at the citadel.

An iron fence with a gate. Over the top there is a sign that says public gardens. There are a bunch of trees behind the fence. Everything is covered with snow.

A path with tree branches over the top of it. The path is nicely plowed. There is snow on either side. The branches are coated with snow.

Day one of advent. My birthday is on the 30th of November and the last two years my mum has made me an advent calendar as my gift. I love it so much. A little treat every day. Best mym ever.

A foot wearing a sock. The sock is pale blue at the top. Mid way down the sock there is a cat face and the rest of the sock is cream to be the body of the cat. The cat has bright pink flowers on its head.

I made a very stupid thing that no one i know gets. So I thought I would post it to the void and see if anyone sees it and understands.

A little neon orange box with a painting of a dark hallway that kinda looks like a photo on top.

The inside lid of the neon orange box. There is a cartoon of a man with a gun.

Gimme the cassshhh is written next to him in blue.

I did some arts and farts. I wanted a painting for a spot on my wall and thought it would be fun to "re-create" Expectations with random junk I already own. It was indeed super fun.

A collage of a figure of a lady inspired by the painting by Klimt. The lady is wearing a long yellow dress with different colored triangles on it. It looks Egyptian inspired . The face is a photocopy of the original painting. The background is black with curly gold branches.
The whole picture is a bit blurry because I am bad at taking photos.

A painting of a lady by Gustav Klimt called Expectations. She is wearing a long dress with triangles on it. The background is yellow with brown branches across it. It has an Egyptian feeling. The painting style is art nouveau.

It was my birthday yesterday and I told my mum I wanted a kinda fancy advent calendar. Well she couldn't find anything good so she made me one. Day 1 was bright green nail polish (i love green). I have the best mum! You can't tell me otherwise.

One of my first ever attempts at watercolour. Pretty sure this is not how you are supposed to use water colour.

It is in a silver frame.

I like to do silly little crafts, arts and upcycles. I am going to periodically post them on here. Just for fun. Here is my flamingo lantern that sits on my flamingo wall in my bathroom. Please note the one art form I am truly terrible at is photography.

A small lantern used for tea lights. It has been painted a pale/sage green and has paintings of flamingos on the glass. It is hung on the wall with a silver hook.

A collection of three items on a white wall. One is the flamingo lantern from the first picture. One is a pink hook shaped like a flamingo holding a pale/sage hand towel. One is a framed flamingo artwork. The frame has been covered in palm leaf contact paper.
