In The Garden

I have been trying to do some things with my garden this year, we have started trying to grow our own veg (no pics of that yet) and I have been clearing loads of weeds and beginning to see what flowers we actually have. I knew we had strawberries last year, I am hoping we get loads more this year and the gorgeous blue, I think they are forget me nots, and the stocks and violas that I planted in a couple of old plastic troughs, just a short one today as I am running round like aheadless chicken sorting out my jewellery party tonight.

Busy Days

Its been hectic around here for a while, I have been at my sisters for the weekend helping her to pack up for moving house this friday, and bring home some bits that she no longer wants.


I have done a bracelet for the creative world blog, I have just adjusted the pics a bit as they were dark, its my gorgeous summertime bracelet :)

Before I go I want to give a huge hug to my lovely friend Jo who has just lost her dad, lots of love sweetie, take care xxx

The Morning after the day before

Well it went really well, I have a possible party booking, 2 orders and sold a fair bit too, so this morning I am a happy bunny. Had a good giggle with Claire and her sister Joanna, saw loads of people I knew and boy was it hot!!!!

Di has done a fab article on using your left over chipboard on Its A Creative World this morning, I think I will be having a play with my leftovers later, its about time I started scrapping again. Keep popping in and don't forget there is a code to use for discount in one of our sponsor stores.

Tomorrow is the day

Well, its here at last, the day of the Hadfield Carnival. Tomorrow morning bright and early off I go car packe dto the brim of sparkly, jiggly jewellery, I really hope I do well, its my first fair doing jewellery and if the parties I have done are anything to go by it will be fab, so fingers crossed and loads of positive vibes if you have any spare please. My lovely friend Claire aka ginger will be there too, she has a handmade card stall, so I will be in for a giggly day!!!

Look at these beauties

I have bought these from http://www.artfulbeadcreations.co.uk/ last night, they are called Harlequine and aren't they beautiful, these ones are for me for a posh necklace and maybe a bracelet too for wearing out when I have my sparkly ruby slippers on.

Well its 2 weeks tomorrow until my first craft fair, well its a local Carnival with a craft tent, I have loads of bits made up and ready, some cheaper bits and a few more expensive bespoke bits, I am nervous and excited at the same time, fingers crossed it goes well.

Sheffield Crop

Went to the Sheffield crop run by Joanne yesterday, had a lovely time as usual, gassing and laughing with the girls. Jo showed me how to do a few wire work bits for my jewellery, so I had a play last night at home and made a pair of earings using one of the techniques, will get pics as soon as it stops raining!!! I really must start scrapping again soon, I have so much stash and am not using it, I did do a bit of scrapping yesterday, so its a start.
