BEEN A BIT CRAFTY TODAY-BUGGER THE HOUSEWORK!

Well today I took the bull by the horns and did my first canvas, I got the idea from Dyan at art from the heart afth.com, she does some amazing stuff, then I made 2 pairs of earring, one pair to match the necklace I made the other day and these red beauties, the photo doesn't do the beads justice!

JEWELLERY MAKING AND CUTE DOG!

Today I have been making some pieces of jewellery, I made a necklace (gonna make earrings and bracelet to match) I put my pandora type beads onto some stretch magic as the snake chain bracelet that I had them on was too big, I also made some earrings out of a few beads I had knocking about, I love it it is so therapeutic, the piccies below are what I made.
here is some of the pieces I made














Have been having a bash at jewellery making today, I also recieved Make Jewellery mag that I won on Kirsty Wisemans blog, the lovely lady also sent me a copy of her Patti Picklicious CD, which I can't wait to try.

THE SUN HAS GOT HIS HAT ON, HIP HIP HOORAY!

So you know what that means.......... yes get the grass cut! I hate gardening with a passion, but I also hate the garden looking scruffy so there's only one thing to do and that's get on with it, it means dodging the cat poo from next doors trillions of cats that seem to think my garden is their bathroom, scraping up ashes from last years bonfire, and then planning my less grass is better project that I have planned, which is geting a shed, put gravel down and making a path, oh and I'm going to palnt some rhodedendroms to cover the end fence of the garden, oh happy days!

TOPAZ CRAFTS DEMO WEEKEND


Yesterday I trundled off to oswaldtwistle to DAWN BIBBY'S craft weekend, the place seemed rather quiet, but I heard someone say say that it was very busy on saturday, sooooooo glad I picked sunday to go then, there were quite a few demonstrators, Dawn, Sheena Douglass, Leonie, Lyndsey Mason, then some of Dawns team, one demonstrator that caught my eye was a lady called Jane, she had made some amazing scrapbook pages, see below and above!
