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? !

Check out my Slide Show!

I have added a new Slide show showing off all of my crafting,
please go to the bottom of the page to see all my work in one place!

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.

Look what my fantastic dad made.....

Look what my fantastic dad made for us!
This wonderful Advent box.
There are 12 doors on this side and 12 on the other,
I have wanted a wooden box like this for ages for my children.
I had to decorate it, and number the doors.
Dad made the stable and Mum bought the ornament stable and kings.
I added a picture in the back of the wooden stable.
My kids love it, we are able to put two chocolates in
each door so they share it between them.

Not feeling like myself!


I am not sure whats wrong with me... but I just don't feel like myself!

I think I have lost my crafting bug for a while.

Not a shock with the rate I have been working at!

I have got so much to organise for Christmas, and no energy to do so.


Oh well my moto this year is, if its not done then that's it!

I am not going to stress about stuff, I have had enough to deal with this year.

I will just enjoy my children's excitement about Christmas.


One bright thing for me to look forward to is the UB40 Concert on the 20th,

So looking forward to it.

I also made this for a gift...

I fell in love with this image and decided to use it as the main
feature for a notelet set for my niece, as a Christmas gift.
I also added some contrasting silk flowers.
Below is how the notelet folder looks on the inside.
I have done 10 pages of matching paper.
I hope she likes it, I had always thought of her as 'cute'!I am so pleased with this finished folder, so pleased that a forum
friend Joanne (Bubbles) took time to show us all how to make it.
