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!!

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!!!

Pre Christmas cleaning.....

Wow. It's so close to Christmas now that I can't believe it. It will be at my place again this year and the house is currently a huge mess. I've tried to do little bits of clearing my work on the kitchen table and coffee table, but then I find something else to use and work on that.

This week I've been making candles, scarves, and Christmas brooches. I'm a little late obviously with the brooches, so hopefully I'll remember where I put them when it comes to next year. I made the brooches as I tried looking to buy some that weren't cheap or tacky looking. I coudn't find any and thought I'd give it a go myself. I'll include a pic to show you.

Good luck with all your Christmas preparations!!!!

Josh's birthday.....

Hi again. Well today we went to a birthday lunch for my gorgeous nephew Josh. He turned 2 today. He is so beautiful, excited and talking about everything he notices.

I've still been busy here making jewellery trying to keep up. I've just listed 15 more glass tile pendants in my madeit shop. And I'm making more of the vintage brass items. I think it will start to slow down in another week or so when people stop getting gifts posted as they worry about them arriving in time. I'm still waiting on items myself. I ordered a couple of beautiful scarves..... I'll include a picture or two. I got one for mum for Christmas, and the other for myself. The colours are lovely. I ordered them from an Etsy shop called FlorasFinest.
