Week of New Creations

Happy Monday everyone!

I have a fun announcement to make. All this week I will be listing One of A Kind and Limited Edition creations in my Etsy shop. Each will be announced on here and on Instagram on the day.

Day 1:

The first item is this Limited Edition pair of leaf green woodland dangle earrings.

Each tatted earring features thirty six gold seed beads, Swarovski bicone beads and flower bead drops. These would be perfect for festivals, fantasy themed parties and more! Gift box included. Find them in my Etsy shop.

My next piece will be listed on Tuesday at 8pm UK time (3pm EDT).

Listening to: Loreena McKennitt.

Reading: Dracula by Bram Stoker.

Busy, Busy

~Current projects~

As usual I have several projects on the go. Below is something I'm working on that's a little bit different. I suspect tatters out there will spot it from the picture. I think I have another 2 rows to go. I can't wait to show you the finished piece!

The other day I had a great idea for a new style of tatted beaded necklace. The prototype was successful so once I've finished my latest Etsy order, I'll get back to that.

I'm also working on some more 'Mina' jewellery which will be in my Etsy shop very soon. 

Have a great day,

Latest creations and Craftsy

~Latest creations~

 These are available on Etsy.

'Celia' Tudor inspired pendant in ecru cotton thread with pale gold seed beads and gold pearlised beads. 

I'm thinking about making some earrings to match this, perhaps with a teardrop bead at the base.

'Eva' bookmark in multicoloured turquoise, blue and purple cotton thread. I'm currently working on a red and cream version in this design. It's looking good so far.

~Craftsy~

As I've begun to sell patterns I thought I'd better set up a store on Craftsy. You can find me here. The great thing about this site is that when you purchase a pattern, it will be instantly available to download as a pdf. I will be adding the 'Lillian' bracelet on there soon as well as a bookmark pattern I'm working on at the moment.

Have a lovely weekend,
