got my new camera

Hurray i got my new camera this afternoon, i managed to take a couple of pictures but it started to get dark so i'll have to do the rest tomorrow.
I have uploaded pictures of rose quartz butterfly earrings and matching charm bracelet, i think there really pretty.

I have the boot sale on sunday so fingers crossed i'm going to sell some jewellery there. I also have a craft fair in a couple of weeks so hopefully that will go well too.

happy valentines day

I got a sleep in today as hubby got up with our daughter at 6am, i couldn't get back to sleep but it was nice to have a relax. I got a big bunch of roses and we went to the trafford centre. I didn't end up getting anything but it was a nice day out and we had a nice dinner.
The kids are off on half term now so i doubt i'll get much blogging done. I'm going to the car boot sales at the nova centre in wales next sunday to sell my jewellery. It got cancelled last time so i hope i can sell some stock this time.

broke my camera

I dropped my camera about 3 days ago whilst the lens was out and something has snapped inside the lens. It won't close or focus so i haven't been able to take any photo's. I've made a few things over the last couple of days mainly charm bracelets. I did go and buy a new camera from argos yesterday but it's useless and doesn't even focus properly so hubby has gone to get one today. This is one of the photo's i did manage to take it's a silver plated charm bracelet with tibetan silver moon charms and glass blue bicone beads. Once i get the new camera and take a proper photo of it i'll list it on my website along with the other stuff i made.

happy birthday mum

Well as the title suggests it's my mum's birthday today. I thought i'd blog about what i had made for her as i'm finding hard to make anything at the moment. I have just gone a bit mad on ebay and bought loads of beads so hopefully it will give me some inspiration when they arrive.
Firstly is the card for my mum from the kids.

and next is the card from me, my mum loves winnie the pooh so piglet seemed fitting.

and this is the necklace i made for her. She doesn't wear alot of jewellery so i made something simple.

I also got her some smellies and a gift card as i didn't know what to get her, i know but at least she can get something she wants then.

potty training

I've decided to try and potty train my 18 month old daughter, try being the word as she will not sit on the potty. I'll just have to keep it around and keep mentioning it now and again. She is however sitting the the child seat on the toilet so i think i'll take her the toilet every so often to see if she can do it that way.

I got round to using the frog beads i mentioned in a previous post. Well i used one of them, i have lost my crafting mojo lately and haven't been making much at all. So today i just sat down and forced myself to make something and here is the result. I think it is pretty cute.

new necklace

I didn't get to do any beading yesterday but i have just made this necklace. I'm really please with it and it looks much better than the photo. I'm going to call it spring time as it reminds me of the blossom on the trees in spring.

It has pink glass beads with green glass leaves on silver plated chain. I'm going to list it on my website very soon, www.lej-jewellery.co.uk

snow?

Well i guess everyone will be blogging about snow today so thought i might aswell as join in. It has been snowing here about an inch or two. It's melted on the roads now but it was really bad this morning. I had to go to the post office and decided to walk. Well i'm glad i did i saw 2 cars skidding across the road on the way out of our estate. Then on the way back someone ended up completely facing the wrong way.
Anyway yesterday i made a few more bookmarks and a bracelet. The first one is a sheep bookmark, i also have a pair of earrings on my website using the same charms.

The next one is a cow bookmark.

And i also made this bracelet. It has a cute butterfly clasp.

Not going to get anything done today as it's 3 o clock and the baby has only just gone to sleep, so she'll be up till late tonight.
