I attempt jewellery making but am not very good at it lol
the thing that always puts me off making necklaces is that I just don't understand about the fixings at the back to do it up , when I bought these pendants at a bargain price in the hobbycraft sale my friend suggested I just use black thong and tie them at the back
I've made these for family christmas presents , do they look ok ? please be honest
I also made these earrings for my Mum

Just received this offer in an email newsletter - thought it was pretty good?



£8 for all 4 bracelets to cross stitch, comes with threads. Postage was £1.50 unless you spend over £20 then it's free. I just paid the postage. Thought just over £2 was really good per bracelet - will make nice little stocking fillers don't you think. Says offer only on for a limited time though

These arrived today! Next day delivery, I'm so impressed. Wondering whether to order some more!

Jenagain, Your blog is fab Some lovely bits there! I love the pony dressed up as a unicorn! :rotfl::D

Hi

Loved your idea for these little jars. I have been looking for little jars for ages but just can't any anywhere. I have tried our poundshop (again today) but they always seems to sold out when I go and the lady said today that she isn't sure if they will be getting anymore :huh:.

Does anyone know where I might be able to pick some up I would even like some the little plastic ones they do with sweets in, in places like BHS etc.

Many thanks

sunrise - the necklaces are beautiful. Not a bad idea at all to tie them at the back. I've a metal allergy so they're the only sort I can wear and it's surprising how hard it can be to find them
