A bit of faffing about

Recently i have been in a bit of a faffing mood where i can't decide what i want to make.  I keep fliting between making some cards a bit of sewing and generally just messing about!!.  Anyway i have eventually got round to trying out some beading for the first time.  Now all you Jewellery makers will be splitting your sides at my first attempt but its a start......

A couple of handbag charms.

I have also made a memory book for a newborn baby with a little fabric bag.  the memory book has 10 pages with lots of room for pictures and writing information.

Hopefully i will stop faffing around soon and start making things i actually need to like presents etc!!!

MY LITTLE GIRL HAS THE CRAFTING BUG

Today was my neice's birthday and my little one asked if she could make a necklace for her.  She has a large bead set from Tesco (which was great value at £6) and used beads from that and a dog button that she picked whilst we were out shopping for fabric earlier in the week.  She stuck a cute cat picture on some card and wrote on the bottom of the sheet. I punched two holes for her so she could thread the necklace through.  My neice was pleased as punch with it. I was touched that she wanted to make her something that she thought was special and for 4 years old i think she has done well.  She clearly has the crafting bug - iv'e no idea where she gets it from :-)
