The start of something sparkly.....

I have been uber creative this month, which is why I haven't blogged for a while. Here are the fruits of my labour. Everything I make is unique and I won't make anything again, so the buyer can be assured that they have something totally personal to them and something no one else will have! I have more ideas and collections will grow.
Let me know what you think and I'll accept any suggestions or ideas that anyone else may have too!

I am planning on selling them, however, I haven't gotten a plan yet as I have also just found a new job, so hopes of selling at somewhere like Spitalfields or Greenwich market during the week have been scuppered, but at least I now have an income, after living on the taxpayers money for a few months!

Floral Skirt

Sorry I've not blogged recently, training for the race for life, job hunting and a lot of DIY'ing has taken up a lot of my time recently.

Last Saturday my friends and I all completed the race for life, so I'm going to relax the training for the time being.

Here is one of my DIY projects, that I must say, has come out quite successfully!


Take:

1 needle, a spool of thread, 5 boxes of silken flower petals and a plain grey skirt....
