I have been decorating some lovely hessian 'eco' bags this week using my polymer beads & other beady bits & bobs. I think they look OK. The bags come in some lovely colours & I think will go down well at fairs.The boys are off this week for 1/2 term & moaning they are bored already! The eldest keeps on that he wants to have a go at candle making after having a taster session at a museum in the summer so looks
like he's going to be a crafter too. I fancy having a go at that so we'll see if we can get a kit and see how they come out. I have a few customer orders to finish at the moment then I must concentrate on my Christmas fairs, I hope to make some Christmassy phone & bag charms & jewellery sets. I'd better be off now and amuse the kiddies!.............
Had another busy week of crafting & looking after the boys. Still getting jewellery orders which is good & I have been experimenting again with different things! Tried crocheting with wire & beads which came out well although not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. Also trying to master beading flowers & managed a quite pretty 3 petaled flower until I ran out of beads!
The 3 boys have been keeping me busy & I had the experience of school dinners today as it is 'parents trying dinners week'. A lot better than the sloppy cabbage & mash that I had to endure many years ago! The dessert was individual pink fairy cakes rather than the big trays of cut up squares of pink cake!
The little 'un is on his second week of potty training, still very hit & miss, oh how practical to have laminate floors! Time for the school run again now...............
Well I've had a busy week of making with my orders from last weeks craft fair. Not done as much as I'd hoped as still awaiting bits through the post. There aren't any beads shops near me so I get everything at bead fairs or on the internet & it's annoying when you have to wait ages for them to arrive. Well 3 days seems like ages anyway! A few people had reccommended 'The Range' at Kidderminster for crafty bits so I drove down there on Saturday. It was a fantastic shop for crafts but not very good for jewellery. I still spent ages in there & come away with some Fimo polymer clay as I've always fancies having a go at makin
g my own beads. I had great fun with it, trying out millefiori and made the earrings pictured here. I also did a pendant & a bracelet to match last night! I also experimented with these autumnal coloured beads.Hopefully postie will bring me my awaited goodies today!............
