Pop up Cards

Morning All

Okay, here’s a surprise - I have made yet more Christmas cards! These are pop up cards and I think they are both fun to make and to receive – what do you think?

This Saturday is Halloween and I have decorated my front porch, so I hope you enjoy the photos (and I am looking forward to some visitations!).

Cuff Links etc

Hi Everyone

I was just thinking that I haven’t really made anything for the men in our lives, so I sat down and tackled a few pairs of cuff links, and then I tried my hand at a tie pin. The tie pin gave me cause for a few restarts but I am happy with the end result, and I will try to find time to make a couple more.

Let me know what you think and don’t forget that, with Christmas just around the corner, I will be out and about in November at lots of fairs, I will keep you posted.

Folding Christmas Cards



Good morning

This week I have been playing with more Christmas Cards and I think this is about to become a recurring theme.  I have updated my card list and I need to produce around 40 cards this year - so I will keep going until either they are all done or it‘s the last Christmas posting date!
I like these because they fold out, giving you a good sized space to write in with out it being too big.

I will be at Kirk Braddan Main Hall on Saturday 17th 10:30 to 3:30, and I will be taking my Halloween stuff, so if you are in the area do call in and say hi.

Wire Chokers & Gemstones

Happy Autumn morning

Looking out the window there can be no doubt that Autumn has arrived, what with the rain and the leaves all over the gardens.

For the last week I have been having some fun with wire and largeish gemstones. I was lucky enough to source some 1mm necklace wire chokers so I decided to see what I could make to hang from them. They have taken a while, and there have been some false starts, but I hope you like the end results. It would be great to hear your views.

I will be at my first Christmas Fair on the 1st November, you can see the details below, if you are in the area why not drop by and say Hello?
