Stock, packaging etc.

WHAT. A. FAFF.

Getting there in the end though, sorting out the packaging for this lot then back to the drawing board for more designs.....

Bit of Quink And Some Trees

Discovered the best elements to combine with a sunny afternoon - quink, woods, a sibling and Lidl chocolate. Could have done with  insect repellent, but other than that, great time. 

Tiny Flower Studs

Thought I finished making these flower studs until I realised if forgot to buy the scrolls.....crumbs.....

Tiny Granny Squares

I treated myself to some new threads and made these tiny granny squares yesterday. I'm really pleased, going to make them into little pendants 

New Designs

I have new jewellery pieces on the verge of being finished!!! I love making up my own patterns, if only I could read them so that I could record them properly. I created a leaf shape that has been selling rather well at Hares and Hedgerows but alot of people think that they are hearts. I suppose that;s OK, in response I'm working on an ivy leaf shape so that it cannot be mistaken for anything else. When it gets to the colder months I look forward to doing oak and holly leaves along with a bit of mistletoe.... I'm really excited!!!

Patination

I came back from an extra long weekend in York to find that my little ammonia experiment worked!! I opened up the little takeaway tub that had been wrapped up in cling film and my nose nearly dissolved with the stink it created, but it was worth this pretty shade of blue! Next step is combining and layering enamel, hopefully they will be as successful as this batch of samples. 

I made tiny keepsake necklaces!!! Now what do I do with them??

I Made Books!!!!

Blimey I hadn't realised how long it has been since I posted anything on this blog, I feel a bit like I have betrayed it slightly since setting up a Facebook page. Thank goodness I don't have Twitter......I lie....I do have Twitter but luckily there is a way I can post things on Facebook at the same time so I don't actually have to go on twitter..

Anyway, I have enamelled some book covers. My first-year-self is high-fiving me for soldering a hinge that doesn't fall apart. There is a lot of room for improvement but I have made a good start.

New Items on Etsy

Got some new items listed on Etsy. My favourite things to do is arrange then rearrange my listings to see what sort of colour-columns I can make. It's a bit sad, but that doesn't stop me from looking at my Telly Tubby-esque row of hand warmers at the top and feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

Click on the link and you might get it. More likely you'll think I'm in need of a new hobby

You have no idea how long it took for me to work out how to do this without breaking some sort of Facebook law... but here it is!!! I feel like a technological genius!!!! I can do anything now -  I might live life on the edge and get my head round twitter next...

Ok so if this link works, it will direct you to my Facebook give-away page, all you have to do is like it to enter, no pesky contact details to give or anything like that....I think.....and then you have a chance to win a snuggley pair of hand warmers!!!! DO IT!
