New fairy tattoo

Well this is my new fairy tattoo i got inked on Friday by Gemma at Ink Minx in montrose......and i absolutely love it.

I have always wanted a fairy but have never seen one i like but eventually i found one on the net and gemma helped me tweek it a bit.

It took about and hour and 15 minutes to do. Im so glad i got her done and plan to add some flowers round the outside of her.

17 pandora bracelets

Well this has what i have been upto this afternoon. I love pandora style beads and this morning beads from hong kong arrived through the post.

I also received alaminium beads which go lovely with the pandora beads and give them a bit of sparkle.

12 new pandora keyrings

I have just got a delivery of more pandora beads and keyring findings so have had a fun afternoon making up more keyrings.

2 sympathy cards now get well cards...

This is yet another area of card that i have not attempted before so be kind...lol

I am not so sure of these cards at all i am wondering if they are too cheerful.

What do you think?

Well i have changed them to get well cards and done another 8 to go with this 2 so it gives me about 10 get well cards

4 birthday cards

I tell you my brain is going on overtime.......i got the sizzix die this week and thought i would try it out and i love it....so much can be done with it.

I was supposed to be making wedding cards but ended up getting sidetracked so again i have made 4 birthday cards.

i love using the nestabilities for the sentiments and again tried out my martha stewart punch

Hope you like them all xx

Here are another 3 wedding cards , once i got going i enjoyed making them though that will be it for a while..lol

wedding cards... another 4....lol

I seem to have my mojo back big time. These again are cards i haven't made before but i thought i would bite the bullet and attempt them. Getting the new tilda bridal couple helped alot as it gave me the image to start.

I also love the prima e-line flowers they are so lovely and in many different colours and at £1.50 a pack they go a long way.

I really love the tilda range of stamps......i just need to learn to colour better though but at least it didn't turn out too bad.....i hope

My New Greenhouse

Ally has been working hard putting together my new greenhouse.

I got a great big 10x6 greenhouse last week.

I got the 4x4 wood for the base from my local saw mill

The benches was my bargain from focus diy ....they were meant to be £29.29 each but i got them for £4 each a steal so they cost only £8 for 2.

I stained them with varnish stain to preserve them.

I bought some sand this morning and levelled the base of the greenhouse and ally laid down the slabs.

I just love my new greenhouse and cant wait to use it....and ill need to use it with all the seeds i need for my garden and my allotment....lol

4 dufex cards

It was snowing badly here yesterday so thought i would make some new cards.

These are made up of dufex and a little hard to take pictures of

Semi precious ear rings

So hard coming up with different ideas.

First Jewellery of 2010.....

I got some fab pandora style beads and pandora findings from hong kong before christmas and just didn't have the time to do anything with them, that and i had no mojo...lol

The top picture is the pandora style bracelets with safety chain. They are made up of pandora style beads and tibetan silver spacers.

The second is also pandora style and spacers and are made up into keyrings, i think they look great ...well i must as i have made a couple for myself and i dont even need any.
