Hi All,
Hope you are well, back from Spain now and going from 34 degrees to this is just depressing to say the least!

Thanks so much for keeping the challenge going till i got back, that was really thoughful! Is it ok if i choose the next person on Monday? I am doing a 21 hour walk for Cancer Research this weekend so i doubt i will get chance to look at everyones makes before Monday

Re-opened the facebook shop 'Blingery' and sold 2 things already which is a great sign (it would be lovely to think people were waiting for me to get back )

How lovely selling as soon as you re-opened!!!

The weather has not been great whilst you were away!!! It must have been a shock coming from 34 degrees to today's weather!!!!

Good luck with your walk this weekend.:T

Hi, i have been reading this thread all day long. And all i can say is wow your all so talented. I would love to make a bag charm but can't seem to find how to do so. Can anyone help?? You have all inspired me so much that i have taken the plunge and bought some jewellery making kits. Hope i can get the hang of it soon

i started off making bag charms and book marks as i found them easier and smaller project to work on to begin with and worked my way up to the rest from there

Hi - they aren't hard just time consuming!!! You need to get the swivel clip and attach to it some short lengths of chain and then you just attach your charms and beads to the chain with junp rings. You can add as many or as little as you like bearing in mind that if using glass beads they can get quite heavy so best not to overdo it!!!

Hi All,
Next weeks challenge will be set by Crafty JuJu.....

I look forward to your choice and making something nice for it!

I made some breast cancer charm bracelets which i sold at the relay walk, all profits went to Cancer Research and people really loved them. They are made with semi-precious Rose Quartz and i will be blogging them tonight so take a look and see what you think..

I really want to take a day off work just to make stuff cause i barely get the time anymore! I think i might set aside sunday for a crafting day and really try some new ideas, you are all my inspiration!

Hi, welcome back, glad you had a great holiday & well done on your charity event :T

Thankyou so much for choosing me to set the new challange :j

This weeks challange is themed around 'Buttons' I've gone a little button mad in the last couple of days making rings, you may have seen them on my facebook page!? :rotfl:(sold 5 already :j )
So I thought this would be perfect, I know I'm loving going through my stash of buttons thinking of lots of ideas of things to make

The challange will run for a week, so you have untill 10pm next monday to entre if you'd like to join in, everyone welcome :beer:

Sorry guys I've not been around much....I have become a lurker with Gav & I having 2wks off work to take the kiddies on holls & day trips & then trying to fit some jewellery making in inbetween (hubby saying I should have a break as its our holls!) I'm planning on having a go at selling at the Chesterfield Market on Bank Holl monday coming up not done it before but thought it might be a good place to start so need to get my supplies up.

Hope everyone is well xXx Great makes everyone xXx
