Made these today and finished off the cards

I made these earrings for an order I had,

the customer requested long pink pair and short green pair.

These hoop earrings were my first go at this style,

I think they look quite special.

They are shell tear drops.

These are the same cards as the last entry to my blog,

just that now they are finished with metal greetings.

'Happy Christmas' or 'Let it Snow'

I have also added some wooden shape embellishments that are covered in glitter.

I think they add to the final finished cards.

I am pleased with these final cards, I am sure my children will look forward to giving them to their Daddy.

Need a HUG

Been a tough weekend, but doing ok!

I have taken some time away from my crafting forum for a while, as I have not felt like chatting much. I have had a lot to think about this past weekend which has been quite emotional and it's kinda worn me out.

I will be back to my forum friends, but need the support of my people around me right now. Saying that though there are very few of them I can really talk to about what has been going on. Even then some of them will not understand whats happening around me.

Today is my long day at home without my OH, as he goes off to play snooker this evening. I enjoy my time don't get me wrong I just wish I could talk to people who need me right now!

So my card making has had to lift my spirits again and keep me going, I am so pleased I can loose myself in something I love.

Below are all the Christmas cards I have made for my close family members, plus two from the children to their daddy.

I love these fairy's, again from http://www.liliofthevalley.co.uk/LILIOFTHEVALLEY.CO/index.html

These cards have the advantage of having two fairies per card.

My other Christmas cards only have one per card.

I also love the polar bears, I have matched the two smaller cards to one big one, so my OH has a whole set of PB's for himself.
The one above and below will be for Daddy!

All of these cards need the finishing touches, of greetings and names. Again though I had a fight with my glitter pot and ended up looking very pretty. Not sure what I feel like doing today... not that there is much time left before I return to the school to get my son.

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.

Rush Job but made it!

I was asked if I could make a bracelet on short notice, and get it posted out in time.

Well I did it, JUST! Another of my forum friends asked for a bracelet to be made and posted to reach her in time for the 16th October!

I made this bracelet this morning and just made it to the post office before it shut at 12.30.

I really hope she is happy with her order. It looks lovely up close :-)

More beading done and sold!

This is the finished bracelet as blogged before as being a work in progress!

Now finished and gift tin included. This set is for a Mum at my son's school.

I made all of these earrings today, I am really pleased with all I have made.
The ones below were made for my neighbour, she bought them straight away!

I am so pleased these are sold.

The ones below are shell.

These ones are purple, I use these beads on bracelets too!

I really likes these Tibetan silver cross earrings,
I kept them for myself!

(though I had a request for them and sold these last night too!)
The final pair are also Tibetan silver hearts.

More Beading done and on its way!

I can not believe its been so long since I last added to my blog!

The Bracelet below was requested on Wednesday afternoon,

I was able to deliver it this morning!

This one was a special request, as I don't normally have green beads!

Plus the customer wanted more silver charms,

so I had to charge extra to cover my costs.

The one below is requested for Tuesday next week,

I should have it finished this morning all being well.

Then I can continue with more orders!

I have had a lovely week, the company has been very nice and even the weather has been enjoyable after all the rain earlier this week.
