Inspiring craft workspaces....

These last few days I've been trying to sort out my workspace. This is not easy I can tell you. My office and my workspace, and my craft workspace are all in one room, and it's a very small room! So of course I have boxes all over the house. This has brought me to googling craft workspaces to see what I could find to get some inspiration. I've found some beautiful workrooms and have decided I have to do some major replanning here to get it up and working more efficiently. Imagine having all my bits and pieces in one spot where I could find them.... or even knowing all the things I had to work with (as a lot of times things get lost and I have no idea that I even have them). I've got all these ideas running through my head now. My poor hubby.....I've even thought about extending the room out..... like I could afford that!!! I've attached some photos of some inspiring workspaces.

Deckas wallets...



Well it's 5.30am. I've been up all night taking photos and listing the newest wallets in my ebay shop.
I've just received the latest shipment of Deckas wallets. I love them. They are great quality, they have terrific colours, and they're a bit different too.  I'll add a some photos so you can see what I mean.
I've been shopping shopping shopping this week. Everywhere and buying everything!!! I've got some great sale items on books, and beads, the wallets, camp chairs, handmade gift tags, lip balm, everything!
I think it's time I went to bed. My head's getting muddled and it's hard keeping my eyes open.
Looking forward to a great Australia Day!
If you want to see more of the wallets, click on the link below, and look under the category "wallets".

The new scarves......


Finally! I've taken some photos of the new scarves. I've got quite a few different colours and have listed a few in my madeit shop. I'll include a couple of the photos here.
I haven't been doing much these last few days as my back still isn't the best so I've been able to catch up with lots of reading, but man it soon gets boring!!

Bird got the blues bracelet...

Well it's cooled down thank goodness!
Thought I'd show you another bracelet I've made. I call it "bird got the blues". Made with brass and different colour blue gemstones (I've forgotten which type they are - just for something different!!!).
My memory is shocking!!!
My back isn't too good today so I'm going to rest up a bit more and hope to get to a sale tomorrow!

Hot and sticky.....

It's been hot these last couple of days and there is only more to come. So I've been trying to distract myself today. I've listed a few of my fringe scarves into my madeit shop, and I've made a necklace that I quite like. I'm trying to decide whether I should keep it for myself or not.
I used a bird, butterfly, and beetle, and a few Swarovski crystals to make it. With a huge Swarovski pendant hanging at the bottom. I haven't decided on a name for it yet either.
Think it's time for an icecream!!

What I've been doing.....

Finally, I've made some scarves. I just haven't got around to taking any photos of them yet. I'm pleased with the results and can't wait to get some more yarns.
I went to the movies today and saw "Did you hear about the Morgans", and loved it. It's one of those light, easy to watch films, and it there were plenty of laughs. It starred Hugh Grant and SJ Parker.
I have also been spending way too much time on facebook. I love it. I've been catching up with old friends, and people I haven't seen for more than 20 years!!! It's terrific!!!
I still haven't taken down my Christmas decs so I think I better tackle that now.

I thought I would include a photo of some "soaring swallow" earrings that I made. I love working with the little birds!

Happy New Year.....

Wow... it has been a busy time for me as I'm sure it is with lots of people. So now it is all about relaxing and taking it easy for a few days.
I've bought lots of wool and am finally going to tackle these scarfs. I'll take some photos when I've finished to show you.
I've also discovered Facebook recently and found old friends. This is a wonderful new thing for me and I've been spending a bit of time on there. If you're not signed up  you should take a look.
I also found these dog leashes and camera straps on the madeit site at Christmas time. I think they are gorgeous. So I've included a photo to show you. They're made by allanaC.

I'd also like to wish everybody and their loved ones a happy new year!!!
