Finally......

I've managed to get in my craft room and create the matching earrings and bracelet for my 'love heart' necklace... I do hope you like, they are all available as a set or individally, just drop me a line for price details (purchase together for a 10% discount)

I've also been knitting, this is a childs cuff but can be adapted to fit an adults wrist...

Elephant hunt part 2

I hosted my first PartyLite party last night at Tina's. I was very nervous but really excited too... the candles looked lovely once they were all lite and the girls thought it all amazing. Soon everyone started to arrive, I guess there was about 20 or so waiting to hear me speak...oh god, well here goes.... but everyone enjoyed got a further 2 bookings and loads of orders and future interest. A fun night I think...although I am tired so looking forward to an early night or a bit of crafting tonight x Monday was a good day, so off we set early, well when I say early I mean before lunch! Our first visit was to the forum for a map, did I say there are 53 elephants around Norwich and everyone is as different as the next. There has been a lot of work gone into these. They are going up for auction at the end of the month and I'm sure they will sell for an amazing amount of money. Norwich City FC has one in their grounds and I'm sure they will keep it.

We only managed to find about 20 or so as time was running out and little legs were getting tired but I think we found our most favourite one last. She is called Angel and was made out of broken mirrors and glass I think you will agree she is the most geogeous elephant you have every seen.

The elephants are only around until the end of August, then I think Norwich will be a very empty place.....

New creations

I have spent ages tying to make this stitch work...its called PEYOTE and is very easy but somehow it has taken me days to feel happy that i've got the hang of it. Let me know what you think?I've attached the flower to a headband and think it makes a very pretty alternative headdress for that special occasion....

Elephant hunt part 1

So today we went into town. The day was grotty and dull but school shoes needed to be purchased. So with umbrella and rain mac in hand off we went to the park and ride. Man was it busy in town and Clarkes well 'take and number and take a seat'..... 45 minutes later it was our turn. Feet were measured, my word she is a size 2 now, nearly as big as my size 4! and strangly enough the size 2's were nearly all gone but we managed to get a really pretty yet practical and sensible pair of shoes for school.

We decided to have a little walk around the city and stopped to look at the elephants... and have decided that come Monday if the weather is nice we will get the map and try and find them all. There are about 30 planted around the city all decorated by Norwich art students and some of them are really really good. We took a couple of pics today and 1 the other day.

And guess what, later today we had hail. Damn huge hail stones..... and they call this SUMMER!

New stuff

Here are some new pieces which I have recently completed. I thought i'd share them with you and hope you like?

The first one is a metal disc pendant with swarvoski crystals strung on top. The whole pendant is hung on ribbon but can be changed to suit taste...

These next two bracelets are possibly my most favourite at this time, simple yet really effective chain strung on stretch cord with either lampwork or quartz charms...

These crystal wire pendants I can take no credit for... although made by me I did copy them from a magazine. It was the turquoise which attracted me to the design as this is my fav colour but of course when the blue one was made a pink one had to be done for Miss Octavia who wears it at every oppotunity...

This picture just had to be posted...I think it says it all....

Making beads

Well the summer holiday's are in full swing and how many times have I heard 'I'M BORED!'

So without further a-do mummy got the 'fimo' and 'polymer clay' out and we both set to work making some beads and silly's. It was a really hot day so the clay didn't want to play and not many beads were made but we had a great time in between the dips in the paddling pool...
