Hello! It seems absolutely ages since my last blog post. I have got very bad with getting anything done over the last few weeks and all my creative oomph seems to have gone for a wander. Hoping it returns soon as I am yet to start Christmas card making (I know, pretty bad that a... Continue Reading →
I've been busy trying to get new jewellery listed on my Etsy shop and I mean trying because I sat for a few hours the other week happily taking photos of all my recent makes only to find when I looked at them on my computer that they were all out of focus or the light... Continue Reading →
Hello, Don't know about anyone else but I can sit for ages trying to think of a catchy title for a blog post and it always ends up being boring! I showed some Fimo jewellery cooling on my baking tray last time I blogged. They have all been made into jewellery now. The pictures are... Continue Reading →
Hello! I've continued (mostly) with beading weaving over the last week or so. As mentioned in my previous post I have made my snowflake necklace in 2 other colours. I made these a little simpler with only 3 rosettes to each necklace. I also started a really basic necklace that just grew as I went along.... Continue Reading →

I used a variety of techniques from cane work to shaping by hand. I'm pretty chuffed with the results and I'm looking forward to making them into... 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
When I get my Fimo out its a bit of an event! My craft table has to be totally clear, I have to extend my table so I can secure my pasta machine on, I need to be organised (it's too easy to transfer colours from messy hands when rushing and, whilst I trust my kids not... Continue Reading →
I've had the tab open on my laptop with 'New Post' staring back at me for at least 3 days. Every time I thought 'ah ha, here's my moment' something else came up but in those 3 days I have gained new followers. They have taken the time to write comments and like my posts... Continue Reading →
