Stop, slow down......

I hope you all had a lovely, peaceful and rest full Christmas.

2011 has gone and wow did it disappear quickly. 2012 seems to be heading in the same way I can’t believe we’re already a week in!

With ill health forcing me to work only part time at the moment and a sketch book plus lots of untidy scrapes of paper bursting with ideas I’m already starting to fell frazzled :O( If only my body would keep up with my brain, or at least maybe I could get some kind of off switch implanted....

So I will apologies now in advance should my blog or Etsy shops feel a little neglected it’s just that if I can work then I’m in the studio.

But onto happier news.

I have lots of exciting projects on the go this year some I can share with you and some to be revealed at a later date. The first which is starting to cause some panic is the imminent launch of my home and gift collection which is due to be officially launched at this year’s BCTF at the beginning of April (Detail to follow)

My web site has had a picture on it for the last month or so and the response from just the 1 photo has been over whelming with lots of interest so fingers crossed it will be well received, but a usually deciding what goes into a collection and try to stay focused is proving a struggle. With one idea sparking of ten as it develops, I’ll let you know what makes the final cut :O)

I'v been included in an Etsy Tresure :O)

Stars, stars every where these just need to have their ribbons added then parcelled up so they can shoot (sorry couldn’t resist) their way to the lovely Jan at www.thecottagegallery.co.uk who just cant seem to get enough of them :O)

just for me....

It’s not often I get a chance to get Crafty just for me.....no deadline....no rushing to the post...

But when a friend on the Isle of Man (Thanks Eve) shared this link I just had to have a go and as you can see they’re addictive, but I think they look fab clustered together so this is going to be my Christmas mantel this year, and here's the link if you fancy a go yourself...have fun :O)

New Home

2011-11-24T04:58:00.000-08:00

This cute little felt robin from my scented christmas decoration range has found a new home along with one of the christmas trees and is now flying (haha) its way to a lovley lady in Austria :O)

I will be adding more christmas dec's this week to my etsy shop, they are currently in with my jewellery but I am hoping to open a new shop dedicated to my home and gift range soon, so watch this space.....

Finished :O)

So here they are all stuffed and looking lovely. I wish you all had scratch and sniff tell lol, they all smell yummy with the scent of Christmas. Now just need to get them on to my Etsy shop., and since I have been forced out of my workshop by my Darling Hubby (that’s a story for another day) I’ll have lots of time to catch on all that computer work I’ve been putting off.

This was my Friday Evening, I have started working with more and more felt lately I like to call it my TV curl up crafts. So this is what I started with on Friday evening.

And after waking up way to early for a Saturday morning I curled up in the conservatory with a nice cup of Tea and by the time the sun was up I had these....... now they just need stuffing and their secret ingredients adding, will post a photo when their all finished

Into the deep

Well here goes, I’ve taken the plunge and started blogging :0/ who knows if anyone will be interested in what I get up to in my own little world.....

It's been a busy few weeks with lots of new ideas buzzing around in my head, usually when I should be fast asleep.

This is a new cuff bracelet I have been working on, it has one of my clay swirl cabochons set in the middle, these are new colour ways for the swirl range based on semi precious stone colour, there is Carnelian, Fluorite, Amethyst, snowflake obsidian & sodalit.
