I have had a little time to play with my new beads. I have to say that I am totally in love with the superduo two hole beads I bought, so much so that I keep finding myself drooling over all the pretty colours on line and trying to find new ways to use them.... Continue Reading →
I'm back from my holiday in the lovely Cornwall and I've missed my blog as much as I miss my own bed and my craft desk. I took my watercolour paints with me but I didn't really get a chance to play so I have nothing to show at the minute but I did visit one... Continue Reading →
Hello, I thought I'd drop in between loads of laundry and school summer plays to show you my recent makes.

My kids went for a sleepover at my Mum's house this weekend so I took the opportunity to have a day at my craft desk making some Fimo beads. 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 some of my recent jewellery makes. Sorry the photos are not the best!
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
