Twisted Bracelet

This bracelet is made using tigertail and then twisting the strands. I then threaded ribbon through, and this has the added bonus of acting as a safety catch in the clasp.

My 'Baby' Boy...

So, last night, my little boy (nearly 8) came home from Beaver Scouts looking like this! Brilliant face-painting I thought and he was a bit annoyed to have it washed off almost immediately. Notice that he still has one of his top front teeth in this picture...


He went to bed and, half an hour later, Mark and I heard, 'MY TOOTH HAS COME OUT!' (which actually meant he had forced it out - with a fair amount of blood). What a difference a day makes! He is now lisping nicely which I find rather cute.

My 'baby' is no longer a baby, toddler, pre-schooler or infant schooler. He is a junior with 4 adult teeth and two gaps soon to be filled.

Ear-rings Made From a Book Pattern

These ear-rings were taken from a book by Stephanie Burnham (linked to earlier in this blog.) Instead of Nymo thread, I used tigertail and a crimp cover. They are really strong, unlike the version I made with Nymo and I am much happier with them this way. They are going in my Folksy shop.
