A few more things. Some of my jewellery photos seem to have disappeared but I will track them down hopefully!

Some Christmassy Bits

A couple of cards that I have been making lately.

I managed to upload my camera photos (and by 'I', I mean my husband lol...)I will be putting some on here soon.

Hey All!

Well, I HAVE been crafting lots of things. I have 400-odd photos on my phone, waiting to be uploaded (admittedly not all craft), but my laptop doesn't want to play ball. I tried taking photos on my tablet, so that I could update this blog from there, but the focus would not...erm, well, focus! :( Once I have managed to upload pics, I will also be re-opening my Folksy shop, in time for Christmas - it just might end up being Christmas 2013...

Loopy Garden Bracelet - Commission

Here is another one of my Loopy Garden Bracelets (the pattern for which has appeared in Bead Magazine). It was a commission for my next door neighbour and made me think differently about my usual choice of colour schemes. I tend to go for browns and teals, but black and white is definitely something I would consider exploring more!

Again...

Another colour scheme...'Smoke'.

My Own Design

Here is a new design that I came up with this week.

Bead and Button Magazine Pattern

Beautiful pattern to do but I am not totally happy with my colour choices.

Published Design...

All of these bracelets are my own design. The pattern was published in Bead magazine (along with two others in other issues) and I was so proud! Since leaving WeightWatchers, I have had time to bead, as well as doing stuff around the house that had been ignored. I have really enjoyed having bead time again and am hoping to get my online shop up and running again.

A Few More BitsJ

Just a few things that I have been doing this past week. The intertwined bracelet is on hold as I have run out of the 8° beads! I will need to make another order from Bead Merchant soon... I am currently making a wedding bracelet for a Facebook friend, which is really exciting for me. It is one of the designs that I had published in Bead magazine, and I have had several orders for them...long may it continue!

Daisy Cellini Bracelet

This bracelet is from a pattern in Bead & Button magazine. Once you get the start bit done, it is really easy, but I think it looks quite difficult. It looks beautiful on and has a real twist on the usual cellini style. It will be going in my Folksy shop once I get a bit more organised and take some better photos. I am now working on another bracelet which incorporates herringbone stitch. It is looking promising!
