Pumpkin House

Tweet

Good morning

I am very excited as this last weekend was my first Halloween fair of the year and I just love this holiday!

I spent the week working on a pumpkin house lantern and I was so happy with it.  The pattern came from Dreaming Tree (https://www.3dsvg.com/) - it was so much fun to make, just needed a little patience.

Anyhow, I attended the fair on Saturday and I couldn’t believe it when the lantern was my first sale, to a lady who purchased it as a birthday gift for a friend – what a great gift! Now I just have to make something new for next week’s Halloween fair!

Let me know what you are making for next holiday season.

Simple Beauty

Tweet

Hi everyone

Well this week I have made simple but oh-so-stunning jewellery.  The first piece is made from a yarn that is a banana fibre and silk mix, so soft and light it is a joy to wear.  I have kept it all about the colour, and matched it with some large silver rings which give it the weight it needs to ensure it looks great on.

The second suite is made from fluorite which has been top drilled. These gems are threaded and, because of the top drill, they sit on the neckline like a dream.

Sometimes simplicity is more than enough, do let me know what you are up to too.

Kitty Birthday

Good morning

Sorry, I’ve been very busy over the last week but I did find time to make my friend her birthday cards, one from me and another one from her kitty.  I think they are both really fun!

This week I was also lucky enough to receive a great photo from a customer showing her wearing a beautiful shell pearl and very sparkly disco ball necklace which I made a little while ago.  I think it looks just perfect with the lace outfit, I love it.

Do let me know what you are up to too.

Keep The Flowers Going

Tweet

Good morning

Riffling through my stash recently I came across some flower fastenings, so I decided to make a necklace and ear rings but, as it turns out, I had enough to make two sets.  The first I made using multi coloured Magnesite and, in the second, I used Autumn Jasper - a very pretty blue/brown gem.

Now that Autumn is officially here I am starting to think about Christmas makes, so let me know what you are up too.
