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 →
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...

I've realised this week that I should start taking photos of my makings as I go along rather than waiting till I have finished. Common sense, I know, but I get so absorbed in what I am doing that logic escapes me. Anyway, here are the recent pieces of jewellery made with some of the... Continue Reading →
Here are the last of my most recent Fimo makes. They were all hand made by rolling and shaping polymer clay (in this case Fimo). I used a cocktail stick for adding detail. Happy crafting. Hannah

The Matubo seed beads are new to me and are absolutely gorgeous. This watch is definitely for me to keep as I... Continue Reading →
As you may remember I wrote about my shopping trip with my sister to a bead shop. Well, whilst I was there I totally fell in love with these gorgeous bird connectors and purple and yellow flowers. I kept the necklaces very simple as I didn't want to over shadow such lovely beads. My Mum... Continue Reading →
The joy of having a sister living so close (by close I mean just across the road!) is girly shopping days. We are both busy and lead different lives but make a point of finding time for us to go out together and relax. We had one of these shopping days last week and after... Continue Reading →
I'm back! I had a little (unintentional) blog break, ie, I haven't had much time to make anything. I've been popping on to catch up on what everyone else has been up to but getting the kids ready for back to school has been a bit of a marathon (if I see another name label... Continue Reading →
