Angel finished!

I have finally finished my Angel of Light...it has taken more years than I care to think of, even though it is a smallish design...done a little bit now and then over the years, and last time I put it away I did not realize how little I had left to do. Picked it up on Sunday and did quite a lot, and realized I did not need to put too many hours in, so decided that I was going to FINISH it yesterday come what may - and I DID!!! :)



I did not expect the face to come out as nice as it did...I normally have issues with small designs of detailed faces, but I really like this one:)

Now it is time to go do the work I was supposed to do yesterday...lol...

  2. Well...the next project is finishing all the projects I have finished (what a sentence...) and make them into pictures, cushion covers and ornaments:) Then I will sort out the floor frame my dad made for me and once I can use it with my frames and hoops I will get on with India Grace's hardanger partwork and Tereza Wentzler's Peacock Tapestry:) Not to mention another 9 ornaments this year:) Oh...and I want to make a table top quilt for my sister, a cushion cover for my mum and then a proper quilt for the bed for me and hubby...put it this way - I do not have a chance of getting bored...lol

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:)
