Callan's formal

here's Callan about to go off to his year 12 formal in his "no expenses spared" suit - his fathers shiny Op Shop suit,
his look is just a little different to a few posts ago, isn't it, no green hair

more necklaces

after another trip this week to the bead shop for findings, here are the last 2 necklaces finished that I've had in the production line.

this is the rest of the felt beads that I made on the weekend

I found this great silver tubular bead with a loop on it so of course I had to put some dangelies on it

necklaces

over the past few weeks I've been making braided cords on my Kumihimo disk and today I've added some beads and finished off the necklaces

and here is one of my felted bead necklaces finished

my son

Was just going through my photo library and found these 2 of my son Callan when he went to Korea with school the year before last.
It was his mission to try every bizarre (to him) fermented Korean soft drink he could find.

I think he's in love...........

felted beads

I've had a very productive day, made a batch of felted beads, hopefully they'll be dry for me to string tomorrow.

Now back to finishing off a couple of crocheted bags.

a stolen moment

I've just had a play with my embellishing machine, I am having withdrawals from sewing/creating with all of the build up to assessment at school over the last month.
My lounge and dining rooms have art supplies, drawings and sculptures and all of the stuff that go with it everywhere and I've been trying to make some sense of it all before I start on anything but with the embellishing machine sitting in the middle of the all of the kaos on the table, I couldn't control the urge any longer.
So I've had a play with some wool tops and Angelina, so now I'm happy and can face trying to find some nooks and crannies to hide everything in.

This will be turned into a "cup cuff" maybe later today, though I have to go out to vote soon and then have a meeting to go to so it may not be till tomorrow.
