I have had a smart phone for about two years,  and it has taken that amount of time to link it to this blog. Now I can be more regular with my posts, spelling errors and all.
I have been giving craft fairs a go since the summer. So far I have been in two venues in Helmsley,  Hutton Le Hole,  Beck Isle Museum and 1940s weekend in Pickering, York and Castle Howard.

I have been making new things and listing them on Etsy this afternoon. I'm trying to get products online that has been popluar in the craft fairs I have been taking part in over the summer. Hopefully I will get more uploaded over the next few days.

Think I've solved a problem with my pendant packaging. I've been trying to make all of my jewellery designs fit into pillow boxes because they're pretty and they keep down the cost of postage. However, it sort of ruins the great unveiling for a customer when the chain has gotten tangled in the box and the pendant has twisted in transit. Up until now I have been using the standard square Steffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10238707433786203132noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79288397487492225.post-23343691899910575982015-09-28T14:37:00.000-07:002015-09-28T14:37:51.748-07:00I made this
I worked out the best way of displaying my work on the go and it turned out well!! It's all about embroidery hoops from now on...
Also got out the trusty Cameo Silhouette for its case, I even gave it a magnetic bag clasp. Now I wish it was acceptable for clutch bags to be made from cardboard.
Oh and I have been doing a bit of Etsy reshuffling.

As you may have noticed I don't give out much in terms of written content, so you can see why hash-tagging instead of stringing a sentence together appeals to me.
I've been up to quite a bit over the past few months, a lot of making and working and the odd bit of selling.

Finally after negotiating with SD cards and
long lost computer files I can upload these enamelled book necklaces that
were on show with the Guild of Enamellers at Pannett Gallery Whitby. Exhibiting with such a
talented group of makers has made me desperate to make more pretty
things and become one with my kiln again. I exhibited 4 all together but for now I can only find three amongstSteffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10238707433786203132noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79288397487492225.post-70180666811236007042014-10-04T10:24:00.000-07:002014-10-04T10:24:08.404-07:00Today has been a pansy day

I entered a gadget themed project to Cutoutandkeep with the hope of winning Punchdrunk Panda vouchers. I came up with the idea of laptops keys that can be attached and rearranged on Velcro strips that can then be attached to anything else. I did a pencil case and a notebook and the pencil case won. ^-^ think I will treat myself to a camera strap with the winnings ^-^

These red ones are my new favourites I'm usually quite shy when it comes to yellow but I've embraced it in the form of tiny buttons.

Pattern was much easier to design than the poppy I wrote about a couple of blog posts ago, might make some more in different colours.

finished this pair a couple of days ago while In Hares and Hedgerows

I spent most mornings at uni practically hugging the laser cutter in the metal workshop. Now I am hugging a Cameo Silhouette Cutter, my bedroom-friendly laser-less alternative. It's just as loud and comes with a matt so tacky that it rips the paper when I lift my work off it, but soon our minds will become one and together we will make paper pieces in perfectly cut harmony!!!!

This might be the alternative to my obsession with hand warmers. Took me a while to get the bitty stitch arrangements right and work out the best way to do the soldered attachments, but now they're sorted I'm going to make loads in every colour I could possibly think of and work out more designs. And then maybe make a tiny pointless blanket for a beetle in need...

Did a bit of crochet doodling, if there is such a thing, and came up with these triangles. I'd love to turn them into pendants, though I will probably have to create some sort of silver wire frame to give some weight on a long chain. If that doesn't work I'll make some sort of unnecessarily elaborate pin cushion or a really tiny blanket. My favourite is the green black and Steffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10238707433786203132noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79288397487492225.post-72680603656341479962014-07-01T01:24:00.003-07:002014-07-01T01:24:57.795-07:00Handwarmers
Its getting to that time of year where I'm thinking of making new hand warmers for the autumn season and reap the benefits of my summers worth of button collecting, which means that I get to put my favourite ones on a pair and keep them for myself muahahaha

Last weekend I practically pirouetted with joy when I had so many blue and green buttons I had to split them into four separate shades so I could fit them into the jars I have.
