Borrowing Another Life

This week I have been house sitting in a lovely house in the country. We (Ed & I) have been looking after a dog & 3 cats and it's been great! I forgot how much I missed having an animal to come home to.

being out in the country has insprired me to invest in more nature themed charms and after discovering an amazing seller on ebay, i might have gone a little OTT

This week I have had time and space to make some more charms, including a new bracelet and after the encouragement of Anneke, the owner of the house and another friend, in next couple of weeks I am hoping to put a few items on Etsy to see how they sell

Before that I have Holiday club at work to survive, which will be full of fun, craft and mess!

Getting snappy

I have finally found a space in the flat that I can use to get clear photos - one problem: its the balcony so finding time when it's not raining means that it will take a while to get the photos of most of my creations.

I did manage to get a couple today; here's a selection

Hand painted/decorated gift boxes

Small key charms
*Please note keys & ring nit included

Love themed double keys charms
*please note keys & ring not included

To see more images of my items please see my facebook page.

Until net time xx

Hello & Welcome

Inchmahome - Island in Lake Mentaith, where Ed proposed

Inchmahome Priory, a beautiful ruin on a stunning island

Two months ago I became the happiest girl on the planet when Ed proposed, and while we aren't planning just yet there's two things I know:
1) I want to be 'hands on' with my big day, ideally I would make most things like the stationary, the favours, the table centers etc (tho i will be avoiding dress making & most of the flowers)
2) I some how meed to supplement my income so I don't have to stress or compromise - although I expect there will in fact plenty of both!

My conclusion was to fuse the two together and invite others to journey with me on this path of craft and love!
