Oooo…shiny….

I love bling. That is all.


My reward for finally tidying and reorganising the studio was to sit for for half hour and have a play with some new beads I ordered a few weeks back. Czech fire-polished glass, Japanese glass, Swarovski crystal and some sterling silver beads combined to make my new favourite piece of bling. I was also pretty chuffed that after posting a photo on Facebook, that I’ve been commissioned to create a piece to match a necklace. I’m excited to take up the challenge!

The children are tucked up, though that is not to say they are sleeping. A quick tidy of the kitchen and I’m back to the sewing machine. Some quilting just about done. A mug rug in progress. My crafty mojo is back with a vengeance! Hope you all had a great Monday, back to regularly scheduled programming tomorrow!

    […] a lot of my wardrove this winter is dark with splashes of red. Red coat. Red shoes. And my new favourite piece of bling is purple. Yeah, smart move. So when I ordered the beads for a commissioned bracelet, I slipped in […]

Hi! I'm Rachel. I love making things & experimenting with new techinques & mediums. I am addicted to pretty paper, and make & sell letterpress stationery. Being creative is my sanity break from the rush of life as a wife, and a mother of four. I do a lot of my creating without shoes. This is the story of where my bare feet & creative heart take me.
