New Funky Flower Jewellery

I have something super special and new today!

I've taken one of the flowers from my Spring Bouquet fabric design and transformed it into funky acrylic jewellery pieces.

At the moment, I have pendant necklaces....

and super cute earrings...

 I've had to keep a set for myself (of course)!

They're in the shop.

Loot Glorious Loot - Day 4

Well, the pendant love continues with another piece of loot from the market....

I did a swap with Finki for this gorgeous glass pendant. I picked up another of her pendants at the last market in a lighter colour, but I also needed one (yes - I truly did need) in a darker colour.

This one will be perfect to wear with my Melbourne winter woollies!

More looters here...

Loot Glorious Loot - Day 1

I'm joining in with Tinniegirl's week of Loot Glorious Loot where we all get to show off things we've swapped / bought / made.... not that I need any more encouragement to show off!

Anyway, last week was my birthday, and I had a little bit of money in my paypal account that was burning a hole in my virtual pocket, so I had a little bit of a click around Made It to see what I could find just for me....

I settled on a lovely glass pendant from What Katy Did (I'm becoming even more seriously addicted to handmade jewellery).....


When I opened the package, I found this lovely padded fabric bucket (in my favourite colour combination), and a fabric wrapped package.

Inside the fabric wrapped package was this beautiful hand stitched felt pouch and a handmade card....

Inside the pouch was this gorgeous pendant!

I loved the little fabric bucket so much that I took it along to the market on Saturday and used it on my stall for my business cards.

Katy has some more gorgeous pendants in her Made It Shop and also some wall and window decals. My favourite is the Cherry Blossom.

It's going to be a long hot weekend.

It's going to be a hot one again this weekend so I think I might just take it easy, hang out and get some little projects finished. If it gets too hot, I'm going to have to go and jump in the pool!

I've nearly finished everything for the CD swap (but I can't post any more photos yet - I don't want to ruin the suprise). I've also finally finished my name embroidery for my Brown Owls uniform. I'm extremely slow at embroidery but it's actually been really enjoyable because I can sit on the couch and stitch away while I'm watching telly (I finished it off tonight while I was watching The Biggest Loser). It's a welcome change from listening to the whirring from the sewing machine, but it now means that my sewing mess has entered yet another room of the house! Maybe this means that I can go shopping for more storage items.

I've been doing a little Etsy shopping this week. I saw this lovely necklace on Kirsty's blog and I've been keeping an eye on the Chocolate and Steel blog and etsy shop ever since. So I bought a lovely little pendant and necklace for myself. I can't wait until it arrives in the mail!
