and of course all the craftiness one person could manage!

To honour my new addiction/ hobby, surfing and escaping into Pinterest I would like to share my daily finds with you here on my count down to Christmas. I will start tomorrow with my "on the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me......."

DIY decorations




I just found these amazing decorations on black eiffel's blog, aren't they beautiful! And she has a link to a tutorial for them too, here. I have just printed the templates off to make these up myself! So I'll let you see the finished articles.


I made some more earrings this morning too, my new beads and findings I ordered came this morning so I'll get them added to my etsy shop soon. I have had a lovely day today, it has been rainy and dull here today so I've been sitting in our living room with the heting up and candles burning making away, and to top it all off my bo has just finished making beautiful leek and potato soup mmmmmmm.

There is something special about someone making your tea for you, and especially tonight when I'm feeling a little under the weather, hot soup and hot water bottles make me smile inside and out.

Earrings

Having a lovely weekend! I made amazing creamy carrot soup yesterday and settled down and got loads of making done. Then some friends came over for tea and I got 7 commissions for jewellery pieces and she bought 2 of my scarfs and a hat! She saw some of my bracelets and asked if I could make her some necklaces and earrings in a similar style, so I did and they are great, and it has inspired me to make more.

Today I have been sorting out some new photos I took this morning, it makes such a difference taking them in natural light and it means I can spend the rest of the day sorting through them.


I am really happy with these earrings, I bought the findings last ear and never really got around to doing anything with them, but these new stones moss agate and aventurine really suit them I think. They are delicate and natural and I think thats why I like them so much!

I was on one of the Etsy forums the other day and someone started talking about Moo, I had never heard of them so checked them out. They print up mini business cards, stickers ect. I have ordered some to use as tags for my jewellery, and business cards. Its a great idea this way I can get a small run made up and can change the design as I please without waste. I am really excited about them comming I'll post a pic when they arrive.
