Changing shape......

Gone far enough with the straight rows.

Time to change tack and introduce a different aspect.

Out with the straight - in with the wavy......


Straight rows are good, but it's time to be a little more daring.....
Another few rows and it's taking shape nicely......


Can't wait to see where this takes me.......

Current WIP......

Colours and stitches.....

Just love the randomness of this one.

No pattern, just the making it up kind of randomness.....

More muted and pastel colours, but then an occasional pop of orange, or lime green, or turquoise.


Blissfully pretty.


Not sure how large I am gonna go - will have to just see how the mood takes me.....

The scrummiest pile......

Oh the joy.....!

Those gorgeous colours and patterns make me so happy.

Makes me realise just how industrious I've been......

What am I talking about?

Crochet blankies......


They zing.  And they pop.  And I love them all.....


Don't they just make you want to go and pick up your crochet hook....right this minute.....?

Pendants....and more pendants.....

I've been making pendants.

It's been a bit of a pendant frenzy for a while....

But they are something to do whilst you are laid up nursing a broken leg.

It was a valid excuse for sitting on my backside creating, with my feet up.

Here's just a few.....


   Pink agate and silver wire....


   AB glass and milky coffee glass pearls.....


   Polymer pendant surrounded by AB crystals.   One of my favourites......


   Red glass pendant and drop with copper wire.....


A little bit of jewellery.....

I've been busy making jewellery.  

One of these days I will get around to creating a website to sell them on.

I love making OOAK pieces.  Not your endless repetetive stuff.  Not the off-the-conveyer-belt stuff.  

Mine is totally your short-attention-span kind of stuff.....😄


Netted seed beads filled with pearls.


Blue glass seeds and beads....


Asymmetrical twisted rope.....


Wire and focal beads pendant......


Glass beads and seeds......

I love making jewellery.  I probably have enough beads to last me until I am 325......

A snowy day in Wales.......

It's been a dismal Winter.

Dark, wet, murky, wet, dreary, and, oh, did I say wet......?

We were warned it rains a lot in Wales.

But there was a brief respite from the endless rain.  We had a few days of snow.


It wasn't thick, and we weren't wading through it, but at least it brightened things up a bit - and it wasn't raining......

If you peer closely, you can see the Brecon Beacons in the distance.


Nice photo of the mountains through the windscreen.....


There is a beauty in snow on mountains.  Ours may not be the Eiger or the Matterhorn, but they are beautiful in their own right.

And besides, Spring is coming......isn't it.....?





It's been a while.....

Yup.  The blog has been a bit quiet recently.

No particular reason, apart from not being sure anyone is actually readng it.....😐

But I have still been busy making and doing.

Wanna see......?




Just a smidge of things I've made since the last visit

Crochet handbag trinket

Lots of necklace pendant cords.....

....and pendants in polymer clay.

I love playing with polymer.
