I'm still plodding away with the doodle challenge run by Johanna Fritz on Instagram. The last few weeks have been a little busier than normal so some of my doodles are embarrassingly bad (I really hate UFO, bikini and frisbee!) but thought I'd show them all rather than miss out days. There is still a little... Continue Reading →
Hello, It's another rainy day here so I thought I'd brighten things up by sharing a recent card I made for my friend's daughter. She celebrated her first birthday the other week - what more of an excuse do I need to use my new stamp set. Who doesn't love magical unicorns?! The stamps are... Continue Reading →
Happy Thursday! A little while ago my lovely blog friend Cobs from The Cobweb Emporium (check out her blog to see her gorgeous makes) suggested that I could make my own card/scrapbooking embellishments with jewellery making findings and beads. I'm not one to say no to a good idea so out came my beads and head... Continue Reading →
Hello, I thought I'd drop in between loads of laundry and school summer plays to show you my recent makes. A family member saw a sterling silver necklace I had made on my Facebook page (shameless plug for The Artisan Duck on Facebook - feel free to find me and like!) and asked for one...

Hello! I thought a quick catch up on my doodles was in order (mainly so I don't over load you all at the end of the month) so I'm sneaking on my laptop between jobs. This is part of a doodle challenge on Instagram #365doodleswithjohannafritz where you get a word prompt for the day and doodle... Continue Reading →
Here is a card made for my Nephew's 5th birthday. When it is a card for a family member it is always fun to make something a little more detailed although I do wish now that I had bought the matching dies - I think I spent just as much time cutting out as I... Continue Reading →
The rain has stopped briefly so I thought I would try to entice the sun out by showing you the new Fimo jewellery I have made. I have used a base of white clay and put strips of translucent orange and blue alongside silver foil on white clay. I used my serrated blade to get the... Continue Reading →
My laptop seems in a better mood today and has let me access my backup photos (they automatically back up from my mobile) so I can show some of the doodles I have been doing as part of the 365 doodles with Johanna Fritz. This was bought to my attention by another blog (sorry, my linking thing doesn't seem... Continue Reading →
Well, today I was going to show you some of my doodles that I'm doing as part of a daily doodle project (challenge is the wrong word as there is no competitive element to it) but my laptop is having a moment and it has decided that I'm not currently allowed to access my photots...

The shop I sell my jewellery in said they would be interested in trying to sell a few Sterling Silver pieces. Armed with enthusiasm I bought a few supplies along with beads in Rose Quartz, Fluorite and Aventurine. I have loved semi-precious stones since a family holiday when I was about 8 and my parents...
