I’ve learn a lot ..I’ve tried stamping ..some I liked some , I didn’t ,they were only cheap tools , and you could tell , but I have a few good ones now ,
It’s got it’s faults , but I will know for next time , Paul drilled one of the glass pieces we found I. Lynmouth , which I attached , I’ve added sea green pearls and silk tassel and hung it on a chain …even with its faults , I love it 💙 my Tears of the Sea sun catcher 💙
I’ve not felt this fired up … for ages
I was inspired when I found my Lynmouth Sea Glass so did my first class with Sara . Who is AMAZING at Stratford School of Jewellery.. the ring went amazing , with help from Sara as I had no idea what I was doing LOL
So yesterday I started a 6 weeks course with her … just so happened my first class was just what I wanted to know … the fret saw … omg I loved it
I have so many ideas
Paul is taking down the old shed and greenhouse and we are haveing a work room so we can crate together,
This will be my Tears from the sea , I’m going to add tassels and pearls and a bit of sea glass I think
I’m not rushing it … Next week we’re doing a silver chain ❤️… I am so exited
now I have coffee and boots to do now 🤣
My Poor Girls legs came off .. not unusual with this type Susi .. she is waiting on my repairing her .. don’t think I have that elastic , so I’ve tied them on for now and out her in these tights … I adore her face , this girls face is painted differently to my others .. she is my fave … shhhh don’t tell the others
I’ve absolutely loved this MastetClass from Lisa Pay he’s my favourite bear 💗 love him … my jumper is now finished .. my first fairisle n pure wool … labour of love but I love the end result ,
Kelly’s Travis Memory quilt , never again … I was so nervous about cutting out xxxnever realised how hard these are to make and time consuming lol but I’m happy with the end result and at last … carved sea glass …
Really happy with those … we have plans !
Sleepingelf Silver … has a ring to it
Chuffed with these 💚❤️ Tomorrow he’s doing me a moon and I’m adding silver bale
It’s been a busy old summer ..I’m trying something new in the autumn
So sorting out my work room and selling off some of my stuff
These girls are 100% staying
Heat waves ! Poor Paul got food poisoning , he was so Ill , I spent days dashing from Drs to the chemist ..to Sainsburys to get him Lucazaid as he couldn’t keep anything in or down
After 5 days I was feeling shattered …the heat , the worry ..then ..oh deep joy …I started to cough and ache ..yup I had picked up Covid …
After 3 days Paul tested positive too ..
So fed up …still it’s behind us now …we’re both on the mend
Amd I’m catching up with orders …and I treated myself ..a bear for me
Lisa Pays amazing Pooh Bear Masterclass…it’s amazing , it’s really giving me the confidence to make bigger bears and use my airbrush and I’m loving him ! I’ve had this mohair for years …I’m so pleased I finally had the chance to use it
Another heatwave has hit us …and I haven’t finished him as my air gun kept drying too fast and blocking up , but he is almost done and I love him to bits x
But I am enjoying my tiny shoe making
So I decided to start this ….
The first jumper I started , I got to the armholes … and frogged it
Way too small , I think I will try it again but with thicker yarn
This one looks beautiful and so far so good … I’m
Loving the yarn and the pattern
I’ve been totally out of whack since my hols …I really want to make things with my glass , but have several projects in the way before I can do this
I need to sort out my work room ..a lot of dolls to be sold off too
Lots of work to be done …doesn’t help that my hip has decided to give up the ghost …I’m in a lot of pain ..again and it’s affecting my mobility …still I’m still getting things done …slowly
Hospital contacted me …x rays Monday to find out what’s going on with my swanky new hips
And I settled down to sewing .. I don’t normally make fabric shoes …I’m not comfortable making them but the brief is a fabric shoe to go with an oriental outfit …so I did
I used Lisa Pays Pinocchio shoe and resized it , ..perfect ..I’m quite pleased with it
…so Saturday Paul took me to Stratford where I was attending a silversmith workshop …very nervous ..but I thoroughly enjoyed myself
I’m dead exited about this new venture , I really am …Pauls being fully supportive and encouraging
I’ve got a workroom to sort out and tools to purchase..but yeah I think I’m going to go for it !
SleepingElf Silver has a ring to it
Had a wonderful holiday and I’ve come home inspired ..a few lbs heavier …food was great , fabulous guesthouse …I’ve come home ..with a load of orders to make up amd post ….and a load of ideas …but that’s another story
