Some more Beading.

Here are some more of my creations.

The one below is for a small adult, another of my nieces.

The earrings below are for my Mum, yet another pair!

She will have so many to wear.

The pearl in the middle of the bottom row is a lilac colour.

Below is another pair, this time for my lovely sister Trace.

I made these ones after the ones above and did not copy them at all.

I have already wrapped mum's up!

Trace's ones have a purple pearl in the middle. I have been meaning to make a white pair for ages.

Never getting around to it!

Well now I have, I think these look great.My final lot of beading to show you,

is a white Handbag charm.

Its another of those things I have been meaning to make.

I will be selling these on ebay, if I get any interest.Below are some hand crafted boxes.

I bought some to begin with and then thought I can make some.

So out came the holographic card.

I think they look great,

though the flash has not shown them to their best!

I have some pink beads made up ready to go,

lets see what they make? !

Gifts and beading!

This is a child's size bracelet for my niece, a Christmas gift.

This one I have called sun, moon and stars.

Below is another child's bracelet for my other niece.

It has a silver charm that says wish on it.
This is my favourite colour... I love making handbag charms.
The silver charm says 'Be yourself'
The brown handbag charm is just one I have made to sell.

Below is an adult bracelet, though I was asked not to put too much on it!

To me it looks half made!

Here is a different style necklace, I think it works well.

The pendant is made with glass beads and silver heart.

These earrings are to go with the necklace.

These are glass beads too.

Todays beading.

The black set below is for an order.

I have really enjoyed making these today.

Also for the same order are these purple earrings.
Below is a brown bracelet for a mum of a close friend.
She had one for her birthday, then her mum asked for one too!
I like the way that word of mouth works for me.

The cream & brown box is to go with the brown bracelet.
The black and white one will be for the black set.
Just another view of these boxes....
I have yet to get customer feedback on these boxes.
I am not even sure if they will be liked!

I Bet you all thought I wouldn't post today!

I am really late posting today...

I have been busy making all of the items that are shown here today.

The blue bracelet is an order.

I made myself a gift... about time, I have been meaning to do these for ages.

Well I got them made today and I am wearing them now.
The ones below are a gift, they have some glass beads which make them special. I love the colour purple, and always seem to make purple ones every time I make anything.
These are for sale.
Something a little different, a red pair, with cute glass lady birds.
These are for sale also.Below is another colour I haven't done before.
Yellow, they look so pretty in real life, for sale also.I love the next pair, these blue ones are very special.
Again they have glass beads. For sale.Below are two black pairs, these are for my mum to choose from.
Once she has chosen the pair she wants... the ones left will be for sale!

That's all for now... I have no idea what this evening will bring!

What a day!

What a day it has been today!

I have been in the most terrible pain with my back,

its my own fault as I walked to the post office yesterday.

I pushed myself too hard, so my poor back is complaining!

No wonder really its only 5 months since I had major surgery on my spine.

Anyway, I am trying to get ready for Christmas.

Below is a gift for my very best friend,

she doesn't know I have been making a bracelet for her.

I know she wont see this as she isn't computer happy!

When ever I do an ATC swap with someone off the craft forum,

if they send a note or a card with a picture on I like to use the image for an ATC for them.

Below are a mixed selection of my most recent work.

No one knows about them yet I have to put them on the forum.The ones below are just for general swaps when I have listed them.

These are called gem animals ( I know not very original!)

Another set for swapping.... all on a garden theme.

That's it for now....

Don't forget to leave your names for the Blog candy.

I will take names on the forum too as I know not everyone likes to leave a comment on a blog!

I had some time to make these today.

I managed to fit some crafting into my day.

This image of a bear was stamped for me by a forum friend.

I love using the colours lilac and green together.

I made this bracelet for a very good friend of mine,

its a gift. I just hope she likes it!

The one below is for an order, again I am not sure if it will be liked or not.

I think my main issue with these is that I have never made this colour before,

they both wanted browns, but I have had to include golds.

I haven't had a great deal of time today to make a lot of things.
My time seems to have drifted away from me.
Maybe its because I stayed in bed until 10am!
Not like me at all.

Another busy day....

Another busy day for me, I am so pleased that I am selling my jewellery.

Below is a complete black bracelet as ordered by a forum friend.

Below is a matching black beaded handbag charm.

This is only the second one I have ever made.
A different forum friend also asked for stud fastening earrings.
She has got the green pair below and the next pair of red ones.

My final pair made for today were another order.

I am not even sure if they are sold yet, she may not even like these!

I really love the colour purple.

Another fan of the stud fastenings.... I didn't know these would be so popular.

I will have to make another order for the studs soon.

Had a crafty time.

The black bracelet is for my Mum, she requested one for Christmas,

she has it made really,having 2 daughters into making bracelets etc....

Never have to buy one again.

Below are my first ever earrings made on stud fastenings!

I made these as a promise to a forum friend, Lazykay.

forum link http://forum.cardmakingandpapercraft.com/

I think they have worked out ok.Below is my first ever necklace set, with matching earrings.

These are for my neighbour's daughter.

I am not so sure about the chain for the necklace.

I will have to try to find something a little finer.

I have also made a card with a great image on it.... will show you later.

some more of my work....

This is my most recent work for another order.

My first ever red bracelet.

As these were going to sisters I decided to give them both the same tibetan silver charms.

Two butterflies for sisterhood and a princess crown from their mum!
And below are the gift tins for the girls.

The pink tin is to go with the pink bracelet, the mauve is to go with the red.I think they will like these.

Busy time....

Here is one of the first things I did this week, I had an ATC swap with fellow forum member MotherDuck. This is the return one I have made for her including a matching envelope.

http://forum.cardmakingandpapercraft.com/

I have also joined in my first ever Bookmark swap, I decided on an oriental theme.

The Dragon is embossed onto red card.
This one below has a really nice sticker image on it. I am quite pleased with the finished look of these. On the forum I am also running a Christmas Topper Swap. We each make 5 toppers for cards then everyone will send them to me, So I can swap them around and send 5 different ones back out. Below are my first three. Of course they match all the Christmas cards I have been making this year.
Topper 2 below.Topper 3This card is for my Niece, its her birthday tomorrow. Again here are the lovely Fairies.

Below is the final finished Bracelet made for a new Mum. The final item I added was the little silver cup with baby on it. I think its the great final touch.
The two black and silver bracelets are for another forum friend (Bubbles). She asked for two black and silver bracelets. They have worked out much better than I thought they would.

Below are two bracelets made for a fellow Mum at my sons school. She asked for them first thing Friday morning. I had everything done and made from scratch by 2.45pm. These are the first ones I have made in one whole colour.
This one was also part of the order. I amazed myself by making these and a bracelet for myself before 3pm! I still have to take a picture of my bracelet.Finally, I sat making this one late last night, that's part of the reason why I was still awake gone midnight.... This one is for my Niece for her birthday tomorrow, 7th October this is a surprise for her.So even though I have had to battle with terrible back pain and headaches I still managed to make things to keep me occupied. I love crafting... if only there were more hours to a day!
