Stretchy Bracelets

 

Happy Christmas

We are out of time for this year and I have been making some last minute gifts for the Christmas crackers in the form of stretchy bracelets.  I have made an assortment so I hope there is one that you will like to wear.

This is my last post for 2019 and I would like to wish you all a happy and healthy festive season.  I hope to hear from you all in 2020 with news of what you have all be making in the break.

Christmas Jewellery 2019


Good morning

This was my last week to make things for the final Christmas Fair of the year, so I made some festive jewellery. 

Two reindeer necklaces, one just on a chain and the other with lots of sparkle but, most of all, I made lots of Christmas ear rings which mostly made me smile a great deal.

I hope your festive preparations are going well and if you joined me at the Douglas Christmas Market then I hope you found something to take home with you.

Christmas Cards 2019


Good morning

It’s that time of year when you need to be posting your Christmas cards, so this week I have been franticly making my cards to meet the posting deadline.

I settled on two types; the first are pop up slider cards which are great fun to make and reasonably quick once you get the hang of them.

The second are shadow cards and they are also quick to put together but much harder
and more time consuming to cut.

I hope you think they are fun too and, by the way, this weekend is my last craft fair for the year. So if you are in the neighbourhood then do try and drop in - I will be at the Douglas Christmas Fair, Chester Street on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th December. I hope to see you there.

Christmas Day Jewellery


Happy December

Gosh, not long now until Christmas so the window to make jewellery for the big day is closing in on us.

This week I made my Christmas lunch jewellery and I love it, big and bold but not too heavy.  The green stone is agate and I have paired it with gold wire balls on green silk to be light and wearable.

Let me know what you think.

My next Christmas Fairs will be at St Catharine’s Church Hall in Port Erin on Saturday 7th December, and then at Douglas Christmas Fair, Chester Street on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th December. I hope to see you there.
