So this week my head has been buzzing. I'm a little overwhelmed to be honest. I started reading more about glass and manipulating it, combining it with other things and there is just soo much I don't know where to start. I think I might need a famous Elisa list, get all my thoughts on to paper and well start with the cheapest 1's I guess! So above is a little selection of my funny beads so far, I like them, some are really ugly but I like that.

Wire

I've been mucking about with wire among other things this week and Sugar Pink Leaves I think has been the most successful effort.

I also decided to wipe the dust from the sewing machine I have been given and figure out what all the fuss is about. Well... I set it up, then got a little stuck. Luckily my friend came to the rescue and it wasn't just my dappyness but the machine is in need of some tlc tweeking at the menders, so I have that adventure next week.

Have a great weekend....I'm hoping to get the chance to try out my edible glitter! Yummy!

Some new creations...

My Cous Stephen and his lovely wife Michelle

I thought I'd pop up this pic as it's just lovely and was great to go to Ireland and see my family.

Wow, what a lovely Xmas break.

Relaxing and eating yummy food with my boyfriend and family then flew off to Ireland for a magical wedding. My cousin got married in Waterford Castle - to any of you who have been lucky to visit it you can share with me what a great location he chose.

So now I'm back and soo many creative ideas are flowing - I want to get the sewing machine fired up as that is an area I have never explored and also try my hand a some more different crochet styles. I picked up a lovely book called Creepy Cute Crochet by Christen Haden and can't wait to have ago. Also this year I'd like to move onto a bulk gas supply for my lampworking - my creativity starts flowing and my can of mapp freezes! Ah!

Well I've had 3 sales already this year and it's only the 8th so cross fingers 2010 continues in the same vain.......

Bye for now from the snowy winter wonderland of Portsmouth! Have a great weekend.

Iris Bracelet is a new addition to the collection - I'm enjoying using bright combinations of beads to cheer me up on these dark days.
I think the Christmas tree might have to come out of the loft this weekend and some mulled wine purchased for the occasion...uuummmmmmm

So the first of the little sales was today and it went well! People seem to be addicted to bracelets. Is was good to lay all my wears out and realize just how much I have made!

I'm excited about the weekend, I have a bellydance workshop tomorrow afternoon and then Hafla in the evening.
Sunday is a Christmas craft fair so I'm sure what I earn will be reinvested into other peoples crafts!
Fun times!
