An art filled weekend

"Anais" bracelet

I have finished the book keeping! I am so relieved that both sets are done and dusted and awaiting delivery to the accountant.

In celebration I spent some time yesterday making up some new designs and loading them into the shop, head over and let me know what you think of my new favourite colour?

So now that one of my major projects are complete I can re-imerse myself into my creative life. I, as always have so many ideas and plans up my sleeve, so I have been jotting them on the back of a piece of wall paper and have pinned it to my studio wall.

"home is where the heart is..." proverb #1

I have been creating some more little fabric pieces too which is great fun and I am really enjoying exploring the meanings of the proverbs I have found.

I am really looking forward to this weekend, tonight Holly is coming over with Barney and we are going to have a lovely girlie night. I have pizza, salad, dips, cake and a movie! Then tomorrow Mr S is working so I will indulge myself in my first ever copy of "Artful Blogging". I keep seeing US bloggers talking about it and yesterday I found a company here, bladerubberstamps that sells them. To my delight the magazine arrived this morning! Talk about speedy delivery, I'll definately be shopping there again.

Have a lovely weekend x

Some new creations and a little gift for you!

Here are some necklaces I have been working on last week, and I love how they have turned out! The cabochons I am working with have encouraged me to work with stronger colours in my designs. I have a whole new section in the shop for necklaces and in a couple of weeks there will be some sets there too. As a little thank you to all my friends in blog land I am offereing you, my lovely blogbuddies, exclusively a 10% DISCOUNT on everything in my shop.

So heres what to do if you see something you like:

just add the code (BLOGPAL) in notes for seller and I will refund you the 10% discount through paypal when you have completed the sale!

I'm coming to visit you all now to see what has been keeping you busy this week x

Just wanted to share some of the new blogs I found yesterday when I took a break from making jewellery. Such inspiring people and crafts/ designs.

First off is jane and the ducks. This is a beautiful 'woof woof' draught blocker and isn't he wonderful. I am in real need of one of these myself! She uses different printed fabric combinations to make amazing goodies!

Next is Molly Chicken she makes wonderful fabric delights and is kind enought to share lots of exciting funky tutorials! Thanks Molly, I'm going to add this stuffed baby to my 'crafty projects' to do list.
