Tea cup candle

Wanted to try candle making again for ages.  Tried it a while ago and made more mess than candle.  Having another go later at candles in scallop shells, (stole the idea from a Martha Stewart video).  This try went well apart from forgetting where id left the candle to set, reaching up to JUST that exact area about 2 minutes later and sticking my hand into melted wax.  Very ouch!

Photo album links

I did once learn how to write links properly but it's been a long day and my brain has turned to mush, so i'll just copy and paste them from flickr.

Some of these are VERY old, dinosaurs roaming the Earth, first things i ever made old.  

OK, finally, there.  Caught up listing all the things i've been meaning to list for ages.  Now i can go back to forgetting i have a blog for another year and then go through the mad listing everything phase again. That's how blogs work right!?  Now to find a few extra hours in the day to either try and list things on etsy again or to give folksy a chance.  Must be brave and give it a go.

Shoulder bag - from Cath Kidston book

I get all the Cath Kidston make/sew..etc.. books, but have to admit this is the first one i've ever bothered making or sewing.  Little shoulder bag.  They give you material and a pattern and you follow it.  Quite quick to do.  Quicker if my sweing machine was working.  Grrr. :(

Attempt at "upcycling". Kindle slipcase/sock

Never had a go at this upcycling craze before.  I had some UGGs i'd worn into the ground and couldn't bare to part with though, so had an idea that one might make a good cosy slip case cover for my kindle.  So, (broken heartedly) i cut the top off of one.  Now to think of something for the other...Hmmm.

Recent make..a TIARA!

First ever go i had at one.  Quite pleased.  Might try a bead boquet next :)

scrapbooking

Gotten into scrapbooking lately and going back through old holiday photos and making scrapbooks of them.  This is one from our first Caribbean cruise a few years ago.

Long time no blog..

A few of my newer pieces.  I haven't added anything in so long and there's a pile of jewellery and other projects i've been meaning to put up here for ages.  Must get around to it.
