New necklace designs

After receiving a few requests from people to have some less 'blingy' necklaces I decided to have a play at combinations without my favorite swarovski crystals. I found it difficult at first but then when I brought in colour combinations for interest instead of the bling I managed to create some beautiful less blingy necklaces : ) Now to decide which to keep for myself and which to sell ; )

Come and check out our table at the Royal Oak Market, Sunday 22nd May, 10am - 2pm : )

Crochet Flower Brooches

Thanks to my good friend I have now learnt another craft - crochet! It is sooo addictive, I love it! I started off making a granny square baby blanket - which took quite a while (about 3 months to be honest) but it looks fantastic. Once I finished my blanket, I started learning other stitches (other than double crochet) on youtube. A great teacher on youtube was tjw1963 or anything under the search "the art of crochet by Teresa" (http://crochet-mania.blogspot.com/). I then decided to make a crochet flower to add to my woolie hat ready for winter. It took a few different patterns to find the right one but then I was on a roll. Flowers for my hats, my jackets and my handbags -they just jazz up everything!

I have made a selection of these beautiful flower brooches to sell at my next craft stand (which will be the next Royal Oak Market on Sunday 22nd May YAY!)
