nic2075 - Thanks for the tips...after I thought about it it seemed right to do it after! I'e just sat outside (in the shade) making donuts for the last hour, I'm loving it so much & I've only just started! The kiddies were watching me all the time wanting a go Its alex's 6th birthday tomo & I have got them both a plastacine kit each so after today I think they'll like it I'll post some pics later today or tomo on my blog of the donuts ....sos another question/bit of adivce plz...I'm making them for charms...should I put the pin in & bake with it in or do I make the hole with the pin & take the pin out while it bakes? Hope that makes sense! lol

I love your bracelet I have the paris charms too, I only have 1 left I got them from the NEC, might have to get some more.
For next weeks challange how about you pick & name out of a hat (everyone that has entered) & that person sets the challange for the following week? x

If everyones happy for me to do that ill do it on Friday when everyones posted. Ill pop through them all and put them in a hat.

I always put the wire/headpin in before cooking and leave them in. For the donuts i push the pin in before adding the icing. i then just put on a round flat piece of clay and use a wooden skewer to make the middle again.
The same for the cupcakes. i make the cake bit, push the headpin in then add the icing.

Fimo/Sculpey is fab because it is cooked at such a low temp you can add loads of things to it. You can use tiny jewels and seed beads etc. Nothing warps or melts.

My kids love watching me too. I usually get their play doh out at the same time. ive made loads of plates of food and a fruit bowl for her dolls house too.

yukki - lovely stuff :T-was really taken with the key ring so much so I rummaged in my bowl of little pebbles and found 3 with holes in..........thinking if I thread some beads as well it should work. I'll give it a go anyway.

nic - love the bracelet:T

You are a clever lot........:T

Nic - beautiful bracelet, I particularly love the Eiffel tower charm, Paris is so romantic and is very apt for LOVE.

Thanks for setting this challenge it was nice to get my beads out again after such a long time. Here is my offering for this weeks challenge, LOVE:
It's more purple in real life but looks quite red here, with hearts and roses ~ more photos elsewhere:

I love your bracelet Kandi. I'd join the challenge but of all the stuff I've done I've never actually made a memory wire bracelet so I don't have any memory wire!

nic2075

I love it Kandi, beautiful colours and georgous beads.

Nichlette - there will be a new challenge set on Friday. I was going to put all the names who took part this week and chose someone to set next weeks.

VikkiJD - So glad you got it ok & that she loves it Its very cute to know she didn't want to take it off x

I've just blogged my 1st attempts at making clay donuts...hehe I had so much fun making them, I tried making a swiss roll one too. I sat outside (in the shade) making them thinking I may get a moment to myself but as soon as the kiddies saw what I had they wanted to play...I've now promished them some plastacine to play with lol x

Pictures of my "Love" bracelet, I chose red/purpley shades as I felt they represented passionate love. The charms I have added are two hearts, a "trust" tag as well as a rose charm and chocolate charm, because they seem to symbolise the romantic -(yeah I know it's a bit corny )
