Crystals and Ice

After three hours walking in the snow with the dogs and seeing the sun set and shining through the ice that's forming. I started to think of the crystals sitting in a tub that I've had no idea what to do with them. Until know.

I think these look beautiful strung in the middle of a silver chain.

Sitting on your neck they sparkel when the light hits them and they reminded me of the icicle's handing at my window.

Organza Flower

These are flowers made from organza material.

The edges have been burned next to one of the many candles in my living room. Layered up and stitched together.

The gold one o the left has been attached with a ribbon to three rows of gold cream glass pearl to make a lovely bracelet.

The first frost came this week and the idea of winter and Christmas (Yule) is starting to sink in. I've started doing my Christmas shop and making some lovely jewellery for this festive time.

Keep popping back here to find out my new designs

Winter Blues

Ok this is my first blog.

Is it just me or is the wet, windy damp weather just getting everyone down. I've got to say normally I love the change in the seasons but I feel like I want to slip into hibernation.

I've being sitting with mu beads all week and have not made a thing. I keep wondering into the kitchen and making wintery muffins and trying to make home baked dog treats. So far out of three recipes the boys like onlt one - bad breath biscuits (I also made ginger muffins and mint and parsley muffins but these where from a vegan doggie recipes)

If any one has any other recipes that have worked well let me know please.
