BMS Festival

I  had a jewellery stall at the Body, Mind & Spirit Festival on August Bank Holiday Monday & what a wonderful day it was.  My cousin Rae came along to help & it was great to catch up with her.  It was also great to get feedback & see what styles people like.  Here are a few photos - sorry they are not very good (I don't know why they are so grainy):

Wedding Jewellery

My eldest son Craig got married to his fiancee Zoe at the weekend & the day was absolutely perfect.  I was really pleased with my wedding outfit which was turquoise/teal (I will blog photos later) & I made this set of jewellery to go with it, made with freshwater pearls & shell.

Found this Fab Blog :)

Wire Wrapped Bracelet

I love the look of these & really enjoy making them so I'm sure I'm going to make some more :)

I did make a couple more of these but forgot to photo them

Work in Progress

My son is marrying his long-term girlfriend on 28th July & I was over the moon when she asked me to make her wedding jewellery.  She wanted to keep it simple, just plain pearls & this is a photo of it being made (I haven't got a photo of the finished set but she didn't want the hearts on).  I will post a photo of her wearing it after the wedding.

New Start...

Right! I'm going to hopefully blog some things I've been making & then try & keep fairly up-to-date (might be easier said than done though lol).  I've just done my 2nd craft fayre & had such positive feedback it's really made me want to spend more time with my jewellery making/designing (just gotta find that time lol).

I made this when I went to the Stitch & Craft Show at Olympia in March - I now have a coiling gizmo but I've yet to use it

This is a brooch I made for a very dear friend who is going through a rough time

First Bracelet

I think you can tell it is my first attempt with headpins as the loops look a little big but for a first attempt I'm really pleased with it :)

I've linked this to Tip Me Tuesday

First Children's Bracelets

These are very simple just beads threaded on to silver elastic cording & were made for my lil grandaughter Abigail.
