So this is what i made yesterday i've called this one sunny side up because it reminds me of a fried egg lol.

It has been a while since i have blogged about myself, i think with the kids being off school i haven't had much time especially with being away in my caravan too. Also i haven't made any new jewellery for a while I've got back into cross stitching and i'm enjoying the break. I've been sun bathing today and i'm just about to take the kids out for a drive so bye for now and will be blogging again soon x.

new beads - again!

I bought 4 new sets of lampwork beads last week, i have made this necklace and pair of earrings with one set and can't wait to use the others.
The necklace is blue suede with tibetan silver toggle and spacers.


The earrings are sterling silver with blue swarovski crystals.


I have been away for the weekend in my caravan in wales, It was a nice break as we haven't been for 3 weeks because the weather hasn't been to good. We went to look at houses for
sale whilst we were there but i think we have decided to look a bit closer to home.

horses

I've been working on this bracelet for the last 2 days and i've finally finished it this morning. It is a horse charm bracelet which features 2 horse charms and a horse shoe charm which has tiny gems on it. I strung it with red, pink and white glass beads, i wasn't sure how it would turn out and half way through i wanted to change the colour but it was too late so i stuck with it and i think it has turned out ok.

and the horse shoe

polka dotty



Remember a couple of weeks ago i went to the beads up north fair and got some lampwork beads from www.jeanetteslampworkbeads.com and i said i would show you what i made with them. Well this is two of the beads i bought, i bought 7 altogether. I love them there sterling silver earwires with purple swarovski crystals and purple polka dot lampwork beads.

They are now available on my website.

cameo necklace

I love cameos so when i saw this i just had to buy it. I added the pendant to some antique gold chain and also added some lilac glass pearls.



I haven't added it to my website yet but i'm going to do it today.
I've just got back from southport with my daughter, hubby and son have gone away for the weekend camping and fishing with my dad so it's just the 2 of us. We went to the usual haunts and had some breakfast in sayers. I got a card making goody bag whilst i was there so i'll be busy with that tonight.
