And a happy new year?

 Who knows what next year will bring us? This time last year, most people were trying to decide what their new years resolutions would be, which normally is weight loss. I had 20 last year, but you can probably guess I didn't keep them all. I kept a fair few, which given the year we've had, was pretty good. Next year I'm going simpler and lower key.  Seeing as how its been christmas this past week, I've not really had time to do much crafting. I did do a little, making this necklace. As you can see, I had to add an extender chain because I did not think about the length! I've also been working on the stitch. Here is the update.  You can probably guess who it is now.  Until next time  Ems

Stardust

 I've not been doing much crafting lately, due to a combination of work and just feeling low, which I'm sure a lot of people are feeling at the moment. I've got projects unfinished, and feel overwhelmed when I look at them. Small steps though, which I have been making. Here is the update on the stitch.  I also tried my hand at a pair of star earrings using duo beads. Not perfect, but good for a first try.  As you can see, there is a thread in the wrong place, but its not too noticeable when you are wearing them. What you can't see is the beautiful blue these beads are.  Here are the random pics, including some from back in February when I went to cutter and squidge for afternoon tea.  Until next time Ems 

To the beat of a drum

 My creative side is still at a low ebb at the moment, but I managed to make a few things. To start with, here is the update on my current stitch.  I've also made a birthday card. It is a lot harder making cards for males, but I decided to dig out one of the many many dies I have got in mystery boxes and haven't used yet.  Simple, but I think it works.  I also made a simple keyring, because one of the recipients of the gift boxes I am doing can't have earrings.  Finally, here are the random pictures for this week. There was a huge rainbow over town the other day, so big I couldn't get it in one shot. Lovely way to walk to work. Theres also a picture of my wrist after an incident with a boiling cup of tea! Until next time Ems

Charming

 I've made a couple of charm bracelets this week, one with shells, and the other christmas themed.  I've also been working on my new stitch. Can you guess what it's yet? Here are my random pics of this week.  Until next time  Ems
