February

February is here and its arrived so quickly... Many people associate February as the month of Amethyst, but depending on the date of your birth means you could choose a different stone..





1st to 18 February Aquamarine and Amethyst


19th to end Amethyst and Moonstone





Is an exciting month for one person in my house as Octavia celebrates her 11th birthday on the 4th...and she is definately an Amethyst girl.





So whats it for, its a fantastic stone to have in the home. Place a piece either side of your doors into your home, the ideas is that you and anyone else walking over the threshold will leave their negative vibes and problems outside! Its also good for pain relief, headaches and releasing tension.. wear it as jewellery and feel the restfulness Amethyst brings, brillian for meditaion...


I will be using more February stones this month so keep checking on AnasPretties (link below) to see whats going on..

come by and say hi and I promise i'll come back and update soon

Well what can I say, I'm excited... ooh excited. It seems to be happening, oh I do hope i've not jinxed it now. Earlier this week I was asked if I would consider making a bridesmaid tiara?? Of course I said yes. So after a conversation with Pippa I understood what she needed. It helped a bit as she sent a couple of pics of ones she had seen but wanted something from one and something from another...

So I got to planning...

And then a strange thing happened... Pippa called again, could I do a comb for a 7 year old who was also gonna be bridesmaid... well of course I would but it needed to be simple, not so fussy not so big and it was only to sit in the front of the hair.

So I got planning again....

Then could I do another comb, long story but needed to be the same as before...

Pippa is excited so excited in fact that she has spoken to anyone who listens and brilliantly last night had a call from one of her friends wanted a bespoke AnasPretties bracelet, necklace and headband plus wants to have a jewellery party and loves my stuff..... YAY could this be the beginning of something good???? Oh please please please let it beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Oh I thought I'd post the pic of the first completed tiara for Pippa.... and by the way she loves it! What more could I ask for?

Oh how wonderful and hot it is here in Norwich today, sadly it could be too hot but we shouldn't complain cos it could be raining tomorrow.... ha ha

Still I've found a bit of energy to create my newest piece, a Victorian style choker, the choker part is black fastened at the back by satin ribbon with matching tassles. The necklace part is taken from an older necklace and turned into this modern yet oldie worldie style necklace... Kind or makes me think of the vampire diaries...lol anyway you comments and opinions are greatly appreciated so tell me what you think?
