Princess!

A friend commissioned a doll for her niece from me, and I had quite a bit of fun trying to decide exactly how I was going to make her, although it took me far too long. I'm just glad I did get her finished in time for Christmas!


And here she is, I do hope her new friend likes her!

For Bronwyn

Here are the sets, hope everyone likes them!

Bookmarks!

So this week has seen the last of the already made pendants I bought go on out

And I finally found 5 minutes to try out my new equipment to make my own pendant for a very patient friend of mine who has been waiting for months now... sorry and I hope your guys are happy with their pendants!
And then tonight is book club, and not only is it book club but it's CHRISTMAS PARTY BOOK CLUB!!!
I am so excited, pretty much all my favorite things are going to be together, books, wine, champagne, good company, good food and of course crackers and presents...YAY!!!

And in the spirit of Christmas I decided to make a little something for everyone in our little club...sometimes that one night out a month keeps me sane, so thanks guys and have a fab Christmas!

Wine Charms!

So amongst the flurry of keyrings I got an order for something I've been wanting to work on for a while but haven't had much chance. A few months ago I made one or 2 samples but never had a chance to share them.

So thanks for giving me the chance to make some and I hope the recipients like them and get good use out of them!

A few bits and bobs...

...from the last week!

More keyrings, I never ever thought I'd be making this many...it feels like hundreds lol

Also done other stuff though, including a sugar spoon & a cake lifter

My Studio/Office/Mess Room

I have to share this cause it's just awesome!

The other day my Dad was visiting when some equipment was delivered, the kids were climbing into it so he helped me move it to my studio...only to arrive and find no place to put it. I just told him to dump it on the floor and I'd find a spot for it later, and mentioned I probably needed to put up some shelves.

Lo and behold 4 days later he calls and asks if he can install my shelves!

We were off to a wedding so I just said he was welcome to come around but we wouldn't be there...well I got home to this!See all that stuff on all the shelves...well that was all on top of or under the desk...this is sooooooo much better I can't even begin to describe.

And this is just phase one apparently!!!

Thank you so much my wonderful Dad!

Now I just need to decide what to do to make them look prettier...I was thinking wallpaper...there are some droolishious wallpapers out there and with our textured walls we can't use them, so this might be the perfect opportunity!

Oh and some pretty baskets to store stuff in instead of old apple and wine boxes!

Now all I need is a bit of time to actually go wallpaper browsing :)

An Order For a Friend

I finished an order for a friend I'd dearly like to meet face to face one day.
I'll be sending it off to her shortly so I hope it arrives safe and sound and she's pleased with it.


Other than that you must forgive me for my erratic posting, it's a very busy time of year between weddings, Christmas parties, visiting family from the UK, not to mention the kids & work...so things are just crazeee!!!!

I'm hoping to be able to breathe again closer to Christmas :)
