the beads bit

My blog header has been a bit of a
trades description problem for a wee while.
Not been beading for some time now.

I must admit I go between various
crafty hobbies from time to time.
I do enjoy my card making,
and I always tend to wander back to it.
This card is for a few challenges.
Papertake weekly want stitching.
A spoonful of sugar want animals.
Penny Black, want paper patching
I am not sure if I should call this
paper patching so will maybe have another go.

But the beads came out to playthese last few weeks.

These are such sweet beads that you can get at
Sugar Nellies.
I got two sets for me and these two sets
are for gifts for a friends
who all ready have the bangleyou thread them on.

A few makes to share with you....
My fave make so far...
green ceramic beads on cord necklace.

this wee bangle.

And a cord /bead necklace.

Also in purple.

And red with back.

Some beaded wrap around bangles .

And to end,
my fellow crafter....
AKA Bella the destroyer...

who is shattered
after raiding my craft room,
tipping out the paper scraps bin,
running down stairs and out side
into the garden with
the loo roll in her mouth,that was attached to the
loo roll holder.....
and shredding most of the leaves
of my beautiful bay leaf tree!

With her big sister Poppy-dog.

and yes Bella always sticks her tongue out when
she sees food!

Bless!

what a cr@p card!

Now Mrs Elfie said on comments she left on my blog warning me about the
fact she had made me a crap card, well.....

she did.....

Warning.....the following picture is of a crap card!

But to be fair she more than redeemed her self with my gift!!

This photo dose not do it credit!
The altered box is just amazing!
It is gold and purple, has beads and a witch ,tarot cards!

I love it!!!!

And inside!!!!

How fab is this!

Thanks babe! I do love you ....honest!!!

nice bug, not so nice bug

haven't felt very well in the last few days....

I had a migraine yesterday, which is still lingering a bit, but I think I also have some sort of bug.
Slept a few times during the day cuddled into Poppy with a fleecy blanket
as I couldn't get warm.
Haven't even got dressed out of my PJ's today.

I have spent a wee while on and off looking round blogs....
And discovered this challenge...for winged things.
I tried to link a banner here, but haven't had brain power to do so....

So I finished a half made card I started the other day and added a
brooch I made from beads and wire.
A much nicer bug I think!


I think it needs a sentiment or something...but I am not sure who it is for....
And I think I will keep the brooch....
