Thought I'd pop on with my latest bracelet Blogged about it here... and also a handmade card fiasco *g*



Just realised I've missed a few posts on here, off to make a cuppa and catch up

Thats really lovely!
I'v just had a good trawl through your blog too - I love the fact that you *thought* she loved Ray Winstone, I was sitting giggling to myself.
A similar thing happend to me with an old boyfriend who bought me loads of James Dean stuff, only to realise after a long while that it was his last girlfriend that loved James Dean not me :rotfl:

whoopidoo - love the bracelet...........:T Where did you get the beads from that look like little people ? They're so cute:j

Not done much today apart from stick bits of info on the scrapbook pages I did yesterday......still only done 3 pages:( Still, got sons box of bits wrapped ready to post and mums friends niece's scrapbooks all wrapped ready as well...........got two weeks before I need to post it but I know what I'm like if I leave it till last minute.

Foraged through a drawer upstairs and found some swatch watch straps...........think I'll sew the buttons on one of them that I was going to use for a bracelet. Be a lot easier (she says hopefully )

Mary they are little ninjas from this etsy seller. Don't let the $ signs mislead you she is a seller in the UK and so helpful and friendly

I just love those little ninjas!

Had a visit to Cambridge today, don't know if any of you are local to there, but we found a really lovely fabric and pattern and odds and bits shop there called Cally Co, it's round the back of the market, near to Barclays. They had some brilliant material in there, and two boxes of remnants for rummaging. I bought several for 50p and £1, all going into my 'to make things with' box!

Ha, it came out in a fight along the lines of 'and why the heck do you keep buying me this James Dean crap!' and he said 'cause you love James Dean' and I said no, I have never cared for him one way or the other, and the penny dropped and he fessed up that it must have been another girl!:eek: ~ Prat. :rotfl:

What a gorgeous bracelet!

OH has been over this weekend, so not much knitting done. I did invest in a pair of circular needles and I cannot get to grips with them! Getting angry, I just can't figure them out, I have read countless simple guides and I don't understand those either! I've watched videos and now feel really, really thick! AUUUGHHHH!

Payday Wednesday, very tempted by getting a sewing machine. I want to make some cushions for my flat, and cushions for people for Christmas

Whoopidoo, I love that ninja bracelet, didnt even know ninja beads existed:T

Kandi pandi, you made me laugh, it reminds me of my OH he`s always dragging me in shops for stick insects, the clothes dont fit me, and when I dont want anything, he says you always got your things from here. I never ever shop in them shops prefer comfortable clothes.:eek:

Mary Op s-books take ages to do, I`ve done two and am always meaning to do another but havent got around to it yet....:T

This weekend I been crafting, I made 3 gents cards, 2 ladies cards, 2 kiddies cards, a Jar of nothing, 5 top gear keyrings and am working on a beaded bag charm.

I put them all on my blog if you want a peek. Except the bag charm, have to get a little bit finished.

Off out tonight to BIL party, I hate parties...:mad:

Helsie - I'm rubbish at following instructions............better if someone actually sits with me and shows me what to do.............lol

susan - super stuff on your blog......:T

Well, 3 more pages done to scrapbook...........oh heck its going to take me ages and ages..........and I'm losing track of all the other bits I want to do:eek: Must draw up a timetable and make sure I do some bits on one day and some on another............if I can stick to it...........lol;)

Whoopi - gorgeous ninja bracelet and very random with the whole Ray Winstone thing! :rotfl:

Kandi - I found this just for you... :rotfl:

Mary - Let us know how you get on turning your watch straps into button bracelets - sounds like a really clever idea. :T

No crafting as such from me today - I spent all weekend reinstalling, and reinstalling, and reinstalling my printer to get the bl**dy thing to print off two sheets of paper :mad: I did eventually finish making a card but couldn't be bothered fighting with the camera to blog it. Tomorrow. On a more exciting note my future MIL has said that she loved her mothers day card so much she wants me to start selling my cards and she's gonna take them into her work and show them to all her friends and sell them for me! (Although after this weekends printer hassles making loads of them could send me over the edge - do they make red sparkly straight-jackets??)
