Oh i would love to win a gift but dont understand the blogs and yes hes going to replace the beads that are broken yes i probleys did oredr the same chain as you lol learn from our mistakes ey x

Glad he's sorting it out for you....I'm still learning everytime I order, I think I've sussed it then I get a surprise whens its not quite the size I thought :rotfl:part of the fun...keeps me on my toes! :rotfl:

I know next time when I go to the NEC craft event in November I'll be stocking up as I now have a better idea of the things I want to make. I bought a small amount of chain from there in March but thats all gone now...doh....I better start saving again

Kandipandi - I can't wait I'm so excited :j I'll let you know when it arrives x

Thanks Crafty JuJu.. The first chain I bought was 10mm each link (TOO BIG) and the second is 3-4mm and thats the necklace size, so if I go for something like 6-7mm per link that should be ok..... I think!!

Argh ive just spent another £10 on charms and other bits from Myvintagecharms. its a good job a lot of her stuff was OOS or i would of spent loads more. My oh will kill me if he finds out lol. Im still trying to find my feet but I had a go at making this this last night. -



Im thinking of taking the butterfly off and just having the 2 rose charms. The yellow rose is handmade and the blue rose cabochan is from my vintage charms (Japan circa 1950's) set into a brass filigree mount. Ive named it English Garden, yes I know im Scottish but with the roses it seemed to fit better lol.

Thats lovely. I also saw the link to this site recently and had a look on there and spent a fortune. I cant believe how much i spent and like yourself quite a bit was oos. I am saving up to buy some more.

Some gorgeous makes once again ladies! I just love checking this thread to marvel at how creative and crafty you all are!

I took a very rare trip into town today so went into Afflecks to find the bead shop and I couldnt find it my friend took me to where it was (she used to go many moons ago) and it wasnt there so we walked all the way down and still couldnt find it looking at the facebook group it doesnt say its shut so I think we must have been looking in the wrong place!

Hiya ladies

I've made a few more charm bracelets lately which are on my blog.

Lovely makes from everyone.

Whenever I buy headpins/eyepins I find that the longer ones are nearly always bent and alot of sellers warn you of this in their descriptions. The shorter pins are usually ok though.
