Handmade earrings

Well at last I think I've made all the stock for SaturdAy.....I've made so many beads over the last few weeks! I feel as though I've neglected all my other projects and the housework!
Hubby even suggested I get the Hoover out over the weekend ! LOL . Now most of the works done I suppose I cans get back to the normal routine so I can get on with some embroidery! I've nearly finished one of my peices for the exhibition which is good.
So here's the earrings all displayed up ready to sell! I just hope people like them!

Just a few more to go ! Need more large sizes I think?

Enjoy your day I'm at the day job so non playing today.

Braided bracelets

Good morning all,
I've been very busy ! I've been trying a few new ideas so here's a couple of  bracelets I made recently. I saw a lot of people wearing braided bracelets and less formal type bracelets so I decided to have a go and use up some beads I made so here they are.

Been a while since  I've been on here I'm afraid.Ive been so busy getting ready for the fair ! I'm hoping it will be a success,
My MS is playing up as well so I need to be careful I'm not overdoing it. Sometimes i forget I'm not 100% fit!
Got a busy day today but I'm off the day job tommo and Friday so I'll be resting in my new bed hopefully . We're getting one of those beds that changes positions so I can sit up ! Can't wait ill never get up! ,

Lampwork jewellery finished

good morning everyone,
Here's the finished jewellery I made from the beads I made recently.
I'm loving making the jewellery I do hope others like it at the craft fair next month.
I'm off today so I shall be playing again after a great and inspirational afternoon at the embroidery guild yesterday,
Here's the photo of the jewellry I'm off to play!


Lamp worked experiments

well I'm quite pleased with the results of my playing yesterday , my lamp worked beads turned out nice and I even managed to get two matching ones for earrings which is actually quite hard as the nature of lampwork is that every bead is unique .
So here's a picture of the resulting beads I'll try to Remeber to take a photo of the finished jewellery too! I forget to do that !

I'm off to the embroidery  guild this afternoon for a talk so ill have no time to play toady after I've made up these beads.......never mind there's always tomorrow!

Wreath finished

I've finished the Xmas wreath I may add some more bits to it but it depends on time .......it's for a competion at the Embroidery guild. As I'm chair there I'm expected to enter all the competion which sometimes is a pain if it's not something I'm interested in! The wreath is an example of that ...I'm don't like wreaths really and have never had one in my house!
But after making this one I like it as it's soft and tactile.
Here it is finished ....unless I add some sparkly bits!

Head cold

good morning all ...sniff sniff...
I've got a horrid head cold my husband shared with me! I am feeling a bit sorry for myself as it's making me feel rough to say the least.i know it will pass but till it does I'll be sniffing and coughing so won't be playing that's for sure! I'll be in bed every opportunity I get.... Day job today but off tomorrow so maybe I'll be better then
Hope you all have a nice day.

Textile Christmas wreath

Good morning all.
Been a while since I was on here .......I've been very busy! I've been doing my beads for the craft fair next month and I still have to make more!
I have managed to start the wreath for the Embroidery guild competition , I'm not a fan of wreaths but I've made it in fabric so it's more tactile and less prickly I hope.
Here it is so far , pretty easy to do so may put a video on here to show everyone.I've been doing in front of TV  in the evening. !
