Spring Time. . .

After my slightly disappointing failure to complete my very tiny challenge I have struck back today and listed a few new items on my Folksy shop page and I have put aside a few bits for the Christals Creations web site.
Last night I sat down and made a couple of new pieces. One of which I have decided to give my friends daughter for her birthday. The other of which shall be coming soon to a website near you.

Today also saw us planting out rows of vegetable seeds in our recently dug garden patch. I am not sure how good the soil is but hopefully we shall see some results. The sweet corn and tomatoes are in pots inside waiting to shoot. Every day hubby asks are they growing yet?

I hope the weather stays like this. I would like to try taking photos outside and using the nautral light to see if I can enhance them slightly.

Some new additions . . .

to my Folksy page.

I have been making lots of presents recently and haven't really been making things for the shop but I have added a few new bits and pieces this week.

This silver cross is hallmarked with my own mark. It is cut from silver sheet and hammered on both sides to create different effects.

Pretty swarovski crystals make these earrings shimmer in the light. Perfect to brighten up your outfit.
Lastly I have choosen this 'wedding' set to show you, memory wire choker, bracelet which closes with a heart shaped toggle clasp and pretty matching earrings all created with glass pearls and crystals.

I am hoping to create some new items soon when I have finished all the gifts. I have lots of beads calling out to me but must finish what I have started.

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.
