Hi all

Yesterday I went to a craft show in Sydney. I spent so much time and money and had a wonderful time. As soon as Daisy went to bed, I had a play with some of the beads I bought. I made a set using a fab metal flower, pearls and rubber tubing. I think I'll get a lot of use from these. I also bought some great fimo beads. I would love to be able to make some as nice. I mixed some of the beads with rose quartz as I liked the black and soft pink combination. For my last one, I used some pink agate and crystal to make a necklace. There will be more makes coming soon, I think. Just a little warning!

A bit of bling!

When we were in Canberra last week, I found a fab bead shop. Amongst the beads that fell into my basket were some gorgeous blue glass flower beads. I decided to use them to make a choker style necklace and am entering it into an Oscars challenge which is being run on the Crafts Beautiful forum.

Jewellery

Daisy is at kindy all day today, so my plan was to spend part of the day tidying and sorting all my craft stash that has been in boxes since it arrived a couple of weeks ago. Well, that hasn't happened yet as I found my jewellery stuff and decided to have a play. I bought some gorgeous beads from the craft fair we went to yesterday and just had to use them. I've kept the rest of the necklaces plain so the focal bead will stand out. I've also made a chain maille bracelet. I've been going on about wanting to make one for ages and my sister sent me a kit. It was a bit fiddly to start with but I soon got the hang of it and love it.
