She's finished:)

So...what do you think?

Not the best photos, but I am still pleased with the finished product:) love the colors and had fun doing it:)

On another note...we've had a lot of wind today...rain on and off, but in the afternoon we had almost a clear sky, so I took Tara down to the beach. It was low tide, so we had a bit of sand. I had to play with her a bit. The only way to get her into the water is by throwing something in. The easiest is a little stone. Anything with a splash and she'll run. So, i had to take some pictures. The last one is the best...just see her fur...looks like she's got gel in it...it is only water and wind though...she's adorable:)





Just look at this bum...fluffy like a sheepskin:)

    Yep, Tara sure is adorable. It looks like so much fun - oh, how I miss the ocean!!!
    Your finish is really pretty. It looks fresh, happy and dainty - all at the same time. Did you use just one overdyed floss or combine several?

    Tara is gorgeous. My jambi has the exact same markings down her back.
    Lovely finish! I love the butterfly in the center :)

    I used Dinky Dyes, DMC variegated (about 8years old) and regular DMC. I pretty much used what I had at home that looked suitable. I was a bit too ambitions with the first few squares around the central square, so I ran out of the thread I had intended to use for the whole piece.

    Yes, Tara is adorable...drives me mad though...stubborn as nothing I've experienced, has the most rigid habits and if she does not get things in the order she wants she will just stand there staring at me.

    Thank you for your lovely comments:) I did enjoy doing that little project, and am now trying to decide on my next project...the difficulty is picking one and sticking to it...but I bet I am not alone with that feeling:) Could have worse problems though...:)

    That charm just finishes it off beautifully. Tara looks like it's fun in the ocean.
    Hope life is settled there for you all now.

    life is quite settled...I have to organize my stuff though...again...as I've been messing about looking for the next project and things are all over the floor...not that that is unusual...don't have enough storage wherever I live...

    And, Tara just loves the water...although I have to help her get in the water in the first place...lol

Slimming World update!

I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!! I lost 6 1/2 pounds, which means I have reached my 1st stone milestone:) I am so surprised but happy...I have gained 1/2pound three weeks in a row because my period was 3weeks late. Now my period has come and gone, and it just shows how much my body is affected by the f***king period...  (and those stars are hiding REA and nothing else...lol) So, tonight it is Nando's dinner...chicken, coleslaw and ratatouille (or perhaps some lovely chips) to celebrate weightloss as well as payday...I do normally let myself enjoy a nice treat of some sorts after my weigh in...that way it is easier to stay on track the rest of the time...:) I am getting on with my Siamese cats, and am about halfway through with the white, and once that is done I am finished and can make them into a cushion cover:)

Refreshing my blog (long time coming)...

Hi, I haven't posted here for a very long time. Towards the end of the last period of blogging I completely lost track of my craftiness and there was just too much going on in life. Now I am finally feeling like myself again, I have started a web shop on Etsy and have started selling my jewellery from a shop in town. I have not yet been brave enough to do a craft fair, but I have my eyes on one in October and then it is a matter of doing some Christmas fairs to get my name out there. Below you can see some of the things I have made, and I will be posting my finished items whatever they may be both on Instagram, Facebook and here, planning on going a bit more in depth here for whoever wants to know more:) So, here we go:) This was a commission, made up of peacock colour freshwater cultured pearl nuggets and silver-plated copper stardust beads and findings. It consists of a ring, ear studs, bracelet and necklace. The lady who ordered it absolutely loves it:) Below are so...

Notice

So...I have told people at work that I am leaving, and feel sooo relieved:) Did not enjoy it for a second, but the reaction was ok, and the fact that I am gonna hand my notice in tomorrow (still won't leave until middle/end July) is gonna help my manager start looking for a replacement straight away, and hopefully I can train my successor before I leave. Other than that I am just potting about looking for inspiration even though I have way too much to do already...been out wtih Tara for walks yesterday and today in teh drizzle...halfway through today's walk the sun came out an dit was really warm, but now it is grey again...I am not complaining too much as it is a relief after so much sun...the ground needs it as well. Am gonna take my sewing machine down to the kitchen table tomorrow, and my fabrics, and am gonna play around a bit whilst my husband works nights over the weekend...am hoping to have some pictures to show for it:)
