WIP update - finally...

Ok, so I can't show how I am doing with my model stitching, but I can post pics of my other WIPS...
 you can see in an earlier post how the cactuses will look when they are finished. I am not sure I will include the figures or just leave it as the cactuses, but that will be for later to decide:)
I am quite pleased with the color choice. It is not what the pattern called for, but I am happy. I thought I had enough beads for the corners as well, but I think I am out 2-3 beads, so I will probably use white beads for them instead. I have a few bits to finish off and then I can finish it into a needleroll...which I have never done before, so that will probably take a bit of time:)

I have probably one or two days left on the first model, and then I will take a break for a day or two and get some other things done before I start on the second piece...I have some finished pix that I want to make into Christmas pressies...

Other than that I am trying to move as much as possibly upstairs to the loft to make the living room less cluttered, which I am hoping will make my head less cluttered...and I am gonna get the stuff in the loft organised and packed away as it is not long before we move again now...and most of it I won't be using before the move...I will leave the boxes open just in case, just packed and ready to be closed up...then I can start packing away things that we are not actually using at the moment, which would mean we don't really need to have them cluttering the place...just trying to be prepared so that the move when the time comes goes smoothly and less stressful...considering I will be looking for work from December onwards...we need to go to Inverness to look at the areas to see where we want to live...and we need to decide on if we are gonna buy a property to have as an investment for later, or if we should rent for the time we are in Inverness...considering we don't know where we will end up after that time...

Time will tell...

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...

New Year, New Home, New Outlook!

Ok, so I have been very bad with writing on my blog...I am slightly ashamed... I do however have a reason for it...This last year went pear shaped, and I lost myself a bit. Firstly in March, my husband failed his final exam for the first time, causing a lot of stress and worry. Secondly, we lost our gorgeous baby girl Tara, our almost 12 year old GSD...she was in too much pain in her back and back legs, she was dragging her back feet as she had no strength to lift them to walk properly on her pads. This caused her to wear down her claws so much that she was bleeding on one occasion. After this occasion we made sure to walk her only on the side of the road so she could drag her feet on grass instead of asphalt. At the end of April 2014, we sent her across the Rainbow Bridge, to join her friend Darwin whom we lost in December 2012. After this awful event, things were quite tough at home, and as if that was not enough, my husband still had to study and practice for his final exam. He ha...

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:)
