Just Listed... In Chains

Just (finally) listed this necklace onto my Folksy and Etsy Shops:
Will try to list the others that I've made next week.

New Diary for 2012 Arrives

I've been a little absent on here for a while but today I took delivery of my custom made 2012 diary from Green Grass and I love it so much I thought I'd put it on here. So thank you Liz at Green Grass for my lovely Owl Diary- and for sending it so quickly. I especially love the little owl peeking out from the velcro fastner!

Folksy Bead Soup Part IV BIG REVEAL

Finally the day has come where we can reveal what we've made as part of the Folksy Bead Soup Challenge! So here are some photos of what I've made and I'm sure to write on here about all the other beautiful things that you can buy to support Breast Cancer Campaign.

So here is a reminder of what I was sent

First is a Necklace with Red, Yellow, Pink and Orange 

with stunning beaded beads and a gold chain

And also a Pink and Silver Necklace:

Both are available to buy from my Folksy Shop or you can bid on them until the 9 September on my Facebook page. Thank you for your support!

Folksy Bead Soup Part II

OK as I want to keep the look of my final piece a surprise I'm only going to show the beads that I'm using rather than what I make. I've looked for inspiration this morning and think I've come up with something good...

 Inspire me

Starting now..!

Folksy Bead Soup

Today I received my beads from Kraftybuttons today as part of Folksy Bead Soup. I'm going to keep a diary on how I get on making with something completely different... The theme for the Bead Soup is Pink and the proceeds of what we all make is going to Breast Cancer Charity

 Beads Arrive!

Bow Tied Up - Folksy Friday

As part of my bridal range I've used lots of ribbons and bows. So this week I've done by Folksy Friday on Bows. There were literally hundreds of bow related items to choose from so again I've just made a small selection of lovely items (including a sneaky one of mine!)

Folksy Friday Spring Colours

The theme for my Folksy Friday is all about Spring Colours. I have to admit that I love all colours but all the fresh greens and pinks around at the moment really lift my mood- and I hope that this collection of items lifts yours too.

Thank you to everyone that I've included in this- and all my blogs. I could have had another 10 items at least to include in this but I had to stop somewhere! x

ps if anyone wants to buy me anything soon then I would be a happy lady to get the Beautiful Skin iPad case. OK so I'd need to buy an iPad to go in it but I'm sure I could find another use for such a beautiful thing until I save up enough!
