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.

New jewellery August 2011

New jewellery

I haven't made any in a while but got new requests and orders coming in so thought it was time to start making some again. Plus i wanted to get a head start on making some ready for my holiday this christmas..a very big head start i realise, but it makes the holiday seem nearer.

First photo is white seed beads and turquise chips, second one is clear and pink swarovski bicones on a memory wire bracelet.

Crochet lavender eye mask

crochet a rectangle (i used a net stitch) and indise is a material pouch filled with rice and dried lavender flowers from the garden, so it's nice and heavy when you put it on. Smells yummy and is really relaxing.
Also i made a lavender spray by heating some flowers in water and decanting it into a spray bottle so the smell can be refreshed when it starts to fade.

Garden lantern jars

I know it's now autumn but i have been meaning to finish these for a long time, and DID start them in summer so i could use them. I guess they'll have to go away for next year. Just a few old sauce jars and a colour scheme of a few beads. They really catch the light when candles are lit inside them.

Crochet bag

Not a new one, one i did a little while ago but just came across again. Thinking of doing a few more but in different materials and bigger..Though i have far too many bags as it is, i just keep making them. Just got a sewing machine after years of wanting one and having nowhere to put one. The first thing i plan to make..yep, a bag..again.
