Pendants at last.....

Well it's taken me a little while but I've finally finished the new glass tile pendants. It's been a busy week cleaning and throwing things out then I had a stall and a market. So I finally got into them at 1am this morning and finished the bails. I've taken some photos and listed them on the madeit site already, so I've included a couple of photos here to show you.

It was also my friend Jurgen's birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday to you Furgen!!! We had a great time at dinner last night.

I've also got some other news. I've opened a new shop on the Craftumi site (the sister site to madeit where you can buy all your craft supplies). My shop is called "BeadyBoo" and you'll find beads and findings that I have too many of or just don't use anymore. You'll find the link over on the right side of this blog under "links to my shops".
So that's all I have for the moment.... until next time. Bye!

Where has the time gone?

So where has the time gone? I notice that it's been almost a month since I was here last. I've been sick for the past couple of weeks with something called parotitis.....I'd never heard of it before. But basically I've had a lump sticking out of my neck with a high temperature and throat infection. But I am feeling much better now.

I've haven't been making anything for the last two weeks so I'll show you a necklace I made for a friend about a month ago. My friend doesn't like the feeling of metal on her neck so I used a ribbon made from pure silk so it is soft. She loves the necklace, and with the ribbon she can easily adjust the length of the necklace to suit her and what she's wearing on the day......I'm glad it all worked out. I think it looks a little strange at first, but it does look great on.

So I'd better get back into things now as I have markets on the weekend. Bye for now. xx

Mothers Day.....

It's been a busy week this week with markets and birthdays and things.
The necklace I'm showing today I made this week and I call it "love letters necklace". It's a simple but pretty design I think with the birds flying down to deliver the letter. It's made with brass components and vintage glass flower beads.

Another update on those mini cupcakes I was trying to replicate. Well I found out the the woman who made them is a pastry chef so now I don't feel so bad that mine weren't up to scratch!!!

It's Mothers Day tomorrow and I'd like to take the opportunity to wish Mum a very Happy Mothers Day. Thanks for everything you do Mum, and I hope you have a great day. With love xxx.
I hope all the Mums have a terrific day tomorrow.

The new pendants.....

Finally, I've taken the photos of the new pendants, and they've all be listed into my madeit shop. There are lots of birds as I can't go past the birds.... and a variety of other images.....all ones that I like of course!

Have you noticed the new banner on my blog? I also have one in my madeit shop and my etsy shop. Renee from Thompson Designs made them up, I think she did a great job. To look at more of her work I've put a link under "my favourite blogs".

I looked in the mirror this morning and decided I need a change, so I'm off now to dye my hair purple. Not a bright purple, but a deep violet sort of colour. Hopefully this will do the trick!!!

In the beginning......

This is the first blog I have attempted, so please be patient with me while I fumble my way through.

I thought I would begin with one of my best sellers. These are the glass tile pendants. I've found that the bird images are the most popular, followed closely by the vintage images.

I personally love the vintage images best. I have included some pictures of each.
