As I mentioned the other day, I've become a little obsessed with Etsy of late. This is a selection of purchases from Katie Abey Design. (Who is actually a Derbyshire girl too!)
I bought three things: A father's day card with cute penguins on it, a keyring and a pocket mirror. I had to buy that mirror, with the local Derbyshire 'slogan' "Eh/Ay up me duck!" on it. It's not very often that you stumble across anything with such a local slogan on it!
I love the keyring too, which is a slogan I need to live by a little! I thought if I had 'Don't worry, be happy' permanently attached to my keys, I might remember to stop worrying quite so much.
The delivery was really fast, the products were really quite cheap (my order cost between £7 and £8), and they're just really lovely little products to have! I think the next on my list from her shop is the Mug of Motivation. (Because, let's face it, I need all the encouragement to motivate myself I can get!)

I wanted one of these little mugs; but saw the prices on Etsy and didn't fancy forking out loads of money. So, I took matters into my own hands and made my very own! And, you can too! Here's how:
You will need:
- A blank white mug,
- A Sharpie permanent marker,
- An oven,
- Acrylic sealing spray.
Got them? Here's how you do it!
- Write or draw whatever design you so wish on your mug,
- Pop your mug in your (cool) oven and put it on at 175C,
- Leave for half an hour or so,
- Turn the oven off and when it's cool enough, take the mug out,
- Wait for it to cool completely and then use acrylic sealing spray to seal in your design!
And you're done! (How easy was that?)
