I lost another...

...pounds this week! So, I am now half a pound off losing three stone. Still a way to go, but I will keep plodding (at least the plodding tires me out less now that I weigh less!)

Two WIPs

Two patterns from Bead and Button. I got bored half way through the pink one and started the other!

Thank You So Much

The lovely NarkeyMarkey has included one of my cards in her 'Valentine Finds' blog post. I am so chuffed as it means that people are seeing my items - which is ultimately why we list them! Thanks so much - it means a lot.

I have added a link to the blog, so please do pop along and check her work out.

Tubby Thursday

I can't believe that I forgot to post my loss! Last week, I lost 1.5lbs, taking me to a total of 39.5...chuffed! I still have a fair way to go but I am on the downhill path now.

A ring I Bought From Tia's Glass

I have liked the work on this maker's Folksy shop for ages. I happened to be looking through Esty and found her there too. As it happened, I saw this ring and just had to have it. It was a bit of a difficult decision between about 4 or 5 rings in the shop. As you can see, it came beautifully packaged in a lovely box, and an organza bag. Thanks to Tia's Glass for the quick serivce too.

Cards, Cards and More Cards! (part 2)

This card is a real cutie. An A7 in candy colours, made with 'My Mind's Eye' papers. It will also come with a handmade envelope of its own.

This card is an A7 one and I think it is very cute. It is going in my Folksy shop. I have made an envelope to go with it, from a template I created after much huffing and puffing!

MORE Valentine Cards!

I LOVE this card and am putting it in my Folksy shop (see link on right). It comes with a handmade envelope too. I think scrolls are the way to go for me at the moment!

Two More Valentines

Simple yet effective

Patchwork style

These two cards were made today when I was having a play. I am not as happy with the patchwork card as the other one, because it took so long and nothing seemed to finish it in the right way. You know when you get that thing (in any craft) where you keep adding bits and changing bits but it doesn't come out right! Most of these seem to end up in the bin, or, if they are jewellery, in the bead box.

I do now think it is nice, having had a break from it and seeing it again with fresh eyes. It just took too much of my time and would not be with making again.

Another Valentine

This card is almost exactly the same as the red one, but in a colour that is more manly (in my opinion).

Cards For Valentine's Day - and Tubby Thursday

I love the red one especially - it is going in my Folksy shop soon. I am aiming to make a few more tonight. They are approximately 5" x 5" and everything is handmade - right down to the seal for the envelope.

I lost two pounds at Weight Watchers this week. I did not do so well with the food and went over my points a little BUT I didn't eat really bad things. My total is now 38 pounds!
