Hi Ho everyone

thought i would upload some recently finished work before i am off to the dratted hospital.

This bracelet gave me a really hard time as its quite ridged, but i am quite taken by the design.

Ths necklace, pattern by Sandra Halpenny was lovely to work, but i didnt like the colours and that was my fault as the print out was not true, anway i wrote to Sandra and she kindly told me the correct colours and they are now on their way - watch for another necklace.

Finally a sweet little pair of earrings i was just messing about one evening with

Enjoy your evening all.

Finally a cute decoupage I did

I dont think I showed you some of the parchment cards I made this month

Evening friends - its horrid weather right now, wet wild and windy - yuk - stayed indoors for the last few days and played about making some earrings - hope you like them, i havent taken them off yet lol.

Stargazer

Morning all - forgot to add this lovely cuff called Stargazer, done in Delica's my favorite beads. Pattern by Jaycee.

I finished this recently - I think it reminds me of sea foam for some reason - I had seen the chain worked on wire, which I copied from the magazine then decided to take it a step further and wove it amongst the copper Medallion I had in my stash.

This pattern was from the Bead and button magazine and i just loved it, sorry I cant remember the designer and now I have created a blog will infuture add more details., I worked this in lemon and black seed beads

This I created one dull and dismal day so I chose lovely bright green seedbeads interwoven with pearls and for the centre I worked a peyote strip and added it with the use of pearls again - I must say this is such a pretty necklace it would be hard to part with it

Something different

This was my first attempt surrounding the focal bead with silver wire.

I completed this last week, it was something I designed myself, mainly as I wanted to learn the Herringbone stitch, I then added 3 focal beads and silver chain.

eye candy for you

Hello bloggers, thought I would upload some recent jewelley I made this turned out really nicely I had oval Indian beads in the centre and surrounded with black and deep gold seed beads in a piquet along the edge

My one and only attempt at cross stitch - for the birth of my first grandson Samuel

A bracelet i made recently.

Reunion - Best buds

How wonderful it was to catch up with old friends this year, we all grew up in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe and I have known the girls since i was 5 - imagin this I hadent seen them for the last 20 years and this year we all managed to meet and have a lovely reunion but my goodness it was such a shock - you keep a photo in your mind and when you finally meet again what a shock - how the years have aged us all., but the conversation and friendship was as it was yesterday -

The fields around our village were a riot of colour this year, thought I would share them with you.

A parchment frame I finished recently

this was the vicker with a trail of followers, pity I didnt capture it all.

Village Harvest Festival

Yesterday the Church had their harvest festival, and this is the Giant that is pulled along by the tractor through the village and up to the church - followed by another tractor with a bed full of children, unfortunately my camera didnt capture the photo of the children, but it did the Vicker on his bicycle lol., next photo

So cute !
