The last few months have been hectic with the kids on their summer holidays then i had to give up work due to my back getting worse so now hopefully i will have more time to blog & list new items. I have made more candles & more jewellery which are listed on my new Website, i finally took the plunge & thought why not just go for it how hard could it be! Well the answer to that is HARD

Over the last few months i have rekindled an old passion for candle making after hours of melting & pouring, trying different fragrances & different types of wick i have finally came up with my favorite combination for all the recycled jars i have been collecting. I have tried heating the jars up to different temperatures & i can assure you that they are perfect for the candles burning so no

I have finally got round to finishing my grass cushions off, not finally in that it was a chore because they were great to make maybe a little too great because now i am having dreams about felting loads of different designs on to different material, more textured cushions, etc, etc, But where am i going to put them all? I love how the first grassy cushion turned out i decided to make a long one

I was checking up my last post their & had to have a wee giggle to myself about my title Calm (ha ha) got that wrong their anyway we have all been laid up for the last 2 weeks with a so called 24 hour bug, so the first week or so of the Easter holidays has not been the best but i did manage to get sun burnt believe it or not after deciding to pull myself to my front garden & fell asleep.

Lately when I have been siting at my workbench in my little kitchen my mind has been completely blank so when my Mum asked if I wanted to go to the SECC in Glasgow for the Hobby Craft show with her i thought OK what the hell maybe get some ideas to get me out of this blank hole i am in. Two hours on the bus there & back were defiantly worth it, not only have I seen some beautiful work, met some

Well it is a new year, new start & nearly the big 30 in a couple of days so I have really been looking at where my life is going & what the future can hold for me & the kids. A lot of siting thinking about what has been and what can be.

Well what can I say I have been having a little bit of family trouble over the last few month & everything has been getting on top off me so now that I have been away with the kids to the beautiful coast I am feeling a little bit better & have decided to get catch up with everything again, hopefully this time I will keep more up to date with my blog ;) The last time I was on blogger Aileen Clark

I have not been very busy over the Spring school holiday as I thought since the kids are off I am going to have to try and keep them busy so we have been out for walks when it is not raining & painting when it is too wet to go out. I have been concentrating on some experiments, so far I have made this unusual bead,felt & wire necklace, this necklace is a idea helped along by Aileen Clarke (look

As you can see by my new photo I have been a little bit busy shopping for more bead caps & clasps, Other than shopping I have been doing nothing much just so feed up with this horrible weather, roll on Spring & Monday morning so the kids can go back to school ! I love them so much but sometimes 5 min peace & quiet would be great . Just need some time out to get on with my work or sit and watch

As I have mentioned before I am now a felt addict & use a lot of my felt beads in my jewellery creations but today I am wanting to tell you about a very talented friend I have met through Flickr who also uses felt & other fibers to make the most gorgeous pieces of art work , Aileen Clarke came across my page one day & left me a wee note , which I am very glad she did as her beautiful work

I have been neglecting my blog lately due to felt over load & very sore fingers , I have been making lots of new felt beads & bracelets thanks to a fellow Etsy seller who has the most beautiful color combinations of Merino wool roving, plus she is a UK seller so I didn't start having withdrawal symptoms by the time my order arrived, ti came very quick & they were all gorgeous bundles.

My new felt addiction has taken a turn away from my usual jewelery side of things not a far of the road turn just a little swerve to the supplies side of things!. I have been thinking about starting to sell some of my felt beads & leaves that I have been making a lot of recently, the only problem is I don't know where to start, how much to charge, to sell them in groups or sell them on their own

I did start of well with my New Years Resolution but once I tell you about how great my Birthday went you will realize I have had other things on my mind!. It all started about a 2 weeks ago I started to get a little pain in what I thought at the time was Ear ache, I know ear ache is really sore but by I would be able to cope with that , then as the days passed the pain started to get worse & I

This gorgeous collection of hand made soaps is from one of my fellow EAST members on Etsy. Stephanie bought my Winter Magic wind chime last week so to thank her for giving me my first sale of the year I am promoting her shop , not that she needs any help as her gorgeous soap's speak for themselves!. Stephanie is a very busy Mum who lives in one of the places I would love to visit , Florida. So

As I am new to selling my goodies on the Internet I thought I better try & keep up with all the special occasions like Christmas, & now Valentine's Day plus trying to keep ahead of the changing seasons!, so I have been working on felted hearts, so far I have only managed to make 1 Valentine pin with a genuine Swarovski crystal to give a little sparkle & 1 heart keyring I thought this would be

As you can see I have a new past time I am at the moment addicted to needle felting. This is one of the first things I have made using my felted beads, I think it has turned out not bad. I love felting it is so therapeutic except for the hundred holes in my fingers, the amount of plasters I have used is unbelievable but all the same it is great if you have a lot of built up tension just think of

This is my entry for EAST's Winter challenge, as you can read from my blog I love being outside so when I was told that the challenge was going to be Winter Wonderland I insistently thought of walking in the woods with my children & being surrounded with trees all sparkling with snow & ice. I love when you go for a walk when everything is frosted & glittery, so I came up with the idea of a wind

After my experience of shopping today I swear I will not put another foot in my local town center until after this Christmas shopping mayhem is finished !. It was completely mad I was getting shoved in every direction & the amount of times I have been ran into with a buggy is ridicules, I really think there is a group of people with buggy's meeting up every weekend discussing how many people they

The last few weeks have been really slow, I have not had a sale in weeks but never mind it has giving me time to get on with other stuff like breaking my computer! I have been without an Internet connection for 3 days now, I have just got it going again this morning! Nightmare!

I don't know about you but the thought of Christmas only being a few weeks away is really scaring me, I am starting to go in to demented Mother mode already! My kids have already started their list to Santa & it dose not seem to be ending. I just worry like any other Mother does at this time of year about, will I be able to get everything on their list? well definitely not everything some things

Well it has been a busy week last week with Halloween being my daughters 7th birthday, Halloween party's at school & play group, plus trying to get organized for a jewellery party on Saturday night. With all that going on my little shop on Etsy has been a little neglected so has my blogs this one & my newer one on indie public, so this week I am definitely going to be working harder to keep up

I have been making more Christmas decorations this week but i can not get any nice photos of them because the weather has been dark & miserable here for the last two days. I have took this one of my Christmas Moon so you could have a sneaky peek of what I will hopefully be posting in my shop soon.... I really need to get a light box. I have also started my Christmas shopping on Etsy (of course),

We have all had a terrible cold & sickie bug for the last couple of week's but today we were feeling a little bit better plus it is the school holidays & I am going mad trying to keep them happy so we thought we would go for a walk. We are really lucky because we stay right across the road from a beautiful woodland. The only thing wrong with it is the irresponsible people who walk there dogs & do

Well I thought I would have a go at some drawing so I went away to the shops all geared up to buy some art supplies to broaden my artistic flair and I came back home with a load of stuff, some of it I don't even know what to do with it, but never mind I will work on that one later. I am always doodling away at something or other and I did really like studying Art at school (I just wish now I had
