Craft show goodies

I picked up lots of goodies yesterday at the craft show. The bank account is on life support at the moment!   Now I've just got to make time to make the projects I have in mind.

Some beading supplies

 Lace, ribbons, silk flowers and elastics

 Silk flowers, lace, bobbin fill, wool and some gorgeous rose trims

 Sparkly lace, lots of lovely wedding bouquet trims here...

 Wool for the dolls hair for the patterns I purchased

 Loved this!

 A couple of doll patterns, I purchased one, and got the other free, and I purchased a starter pack for drawing the facial feature, some more trims,some glass beads,  bobbin fill, an assortment of fat 1/4's for the dolls clothes, and the first 2 editions of Vignette magazine.

 Some more lace and ribbons, and a bit more bling...

First jewellery class

I went to my first ever jewellery class this morning. I made a necklace, bracelet and earring set. I wanted to do it in the purples, silver and crystal colours. I think it's come up quite nice, and it has now given me a bit of a foundation for some other things. I will go back and do another class next Tuesday morning, and I want to make a drop style pendant, suitable for formals, weddings etc. I quite enjoyed the class, but my fingers probably need to toughen up a little bit, as there is a bit of prodding and pushing involved, I think if you did too many beads with a heavier gauge wire, the fingers could get quite sore. Here goes yet another magazine genre to start reading.....beading and jewellery!!!

Tonight I have spent catching up on Diverse paperwork, that is now looking much more under control, so I can start tomorrow not having that hanging over my head. Tomorrow I actually have nothing in my diary, hooray, but I will probably finish the colouring on a bouquet preservation, so it is ready for framing this weekend and do a wedding quote, pay a couple of personal bills, and have a hopefully quiet sort of day...that will be nice.......
