webcam discovery!

i was sitting at my desk, after making a new hair corsage, 
thinking, i need to take a photo of this..... 

ah well i'll just put it in my hair for now (just to make sure it works properly ;) !!) 
and think about taking studio shots tomorrow.....

i havent got a studio set up permanently since moving house :(
(i miss our garage!)
i have to set it up on our dining room table, so i try and group several new makes together....
sometimes the excitement from new inventions fades a bit by the time i get round to it :(
but then... i suddenly realised i have a webcam! 
so here's a shot of me showing off my new creation!


i just had to share it with you, i really think you girls will love them :)

i've spent most of my saturday cleaning and tidying the house
working up to sorting my craft room!

it has been half sorted & in a mess for ages, 
and now i've just ordered some yummy turquoise tissue paper and jiffy bags in bulk,
i thought i'd better make some room for it all!



as you can see there still isn't very much room for anything extra!!
but it feels a lot more organised and i have a board & wall space for some inspiring imagery
i'll be printing some bits out that ive spied on some blogs i've found :)

flower power

i was approached at a craft fair last october by a shop in Oakham, Leics called Baubles & Bangles

they loved my chunky flower brooches and asked if they could order a load at trade prices!!
i was made up! but then realised it would take me ages to make them all!
and when you're making the same thing over and over again, it stops being so much fun!



well i managed to make 2 of each colour before Christmas, and now i've just finished another 3 of each ... :)
they look so fab, i want to make some more right now for my craft fair stock, but might give my crocheting hand a break for a while!!

i only just remembered before posting them, to take some photos, to use on my website, and my not on the high street shop.



i am about to make these same flowers into hair slides, and stretchy hairbands, ready for everyone to get a bit of flower power this spring! :)
