none school uniform day

It's none school uniform day at my son's school today and i feel awful as i didn't read his school letter properly and i've sent him in his uniform. He's got another one next week too for national book week so i'll make it up to him then and make sure he has the best costume. The guilt of a mother, it's a terrible thing.

Were going to look at a house on sunday in southport, i'm looking forwards to moving as it means i get my own craft room yey!

I made this bracelet yesterday, it's very summery. It has orange and green lampwork beads with green glass pearls and tibetan silver spacers.

spoilt myself

I have spoilt my self over the last couple of days, i bought this lovely top from misi it was just to lovely to resist. It was from this lovely lady https://www.misi.me.uk/store_info.php?user_id=172 she also has a cute little fairy skirt which i'm so temped by, for my daughter of course not me LOL.

It also has this lovely back detailing.

This is another t shirt i bought, this one is from folksy, i love it as i love anything with fairies and angels. It says clap hands, save faries and is from http://www.folksy.com/shops/teeandtoast

I can't wait to get either of them. :-)

eternal knot

This is my latest necklace which i have to say i really like, it has black glass beads with tibetan silver connectors which are in the shape of the eternal knot, hence the name.

I went a bit mad the other day and ordered 6 dichoric glass pendants from ebay, they have just come with the postman and there really beautiful. I never know weather to string them with beads or just put them on a chain. I have just listed a handmade glass pendant necklace in my misi shop. www.lej-jewellery.misi.me.uk . It's called sunset and is blue with orange and red it's really striking.

I'm also recovering from stuffing myself with pancakes yesterday, i had 5 and did feel just a bit sick afterwards. All that sugar and jiff lemon probably didn't help either lol.

easter cards

I've made 2 easter cards but i'm not quite sure if anyone will buy them. Do people give cards at easter? I'm planning on making some kids ones but i have made 2, 1 of which is pictured here, adult ones. The other one i have made is more or less the same but in blue.

I was planning on taking my daughter the cedar farm today, she loves animals. But it's raining so we'll just have to find something to do in the house. Also heroes started last night i watched the first one but the second episode was on bbc3 at 10.30 so i sky plused it. I'll watched that when she's asleep.

:- (

Well yesterday didn't go to well really, to start it off i had a table in the middle. I usually get on at the side where people tend to look more. It was fairly busy for the first half hour but no sales, i suppose most people don't go to a boot sale and expect to find handmade jewellery. I did however sell two bracelets and a necklace so it wasn't to bad. Plus it went really quite so we packed up an hour early and went for a carvary.

This is one of my latest cards, i think it's so cute. I'm going to list all my cards on my website as i have been neglecting the card part of it recently. I might have a bit more time today as my son went back to school this morning. I've already been shopping. I got my daughter some wellies as she a monster for puddles and it doesn't help when her shoes are suede.

i know i said i had enough stock but....

I decied to branch out into boys jewellery and eventually mens. I have cuff links on my website but i'd like to make mens necklaces and bracelets. This is what i made it's wooden pieces with tibetan silver spacers and a whale tail pendant.I think it's a surfer style and will be great for the upcoming summer, hopefully we'll have a better one than last year.

I'm still feeling positive about tomorrow but i just found out that the next boot sale is on the same day as the craft fair i've already booked for next month. My thinking was if i do the bootsale each month then in the summer months when it gets busy i will be established with them and get the holiday makers coming and buying my jewellery. I'll have to have a word while i'm there and see if they'll book me a table for the month after. oh well wish me luck for tomorrow. jo

made enough jewellery, starting on cards

Well i've decided that i now have enough jewellery stock for the weekend and i'm going to have a change and make some cards instead. I've uploaded a picture of my favourite one i made last night. It's a male card which are quite hard to do, It features a forever friends bear washing a car. I think it's a cutie.

I can't wait till sunday and i'm trying to be positive, i usually dread going incase no one buys my jewellery. So it's a car boot sale at the nova centre in prestatyn, north wales if anyone is interested :-).
