Blue & Green should never be seen........

....... I always remember my Nan saying that lol!
I'm loving making these little wrap style bracelets, I love that
 they can be any size, shape & colour and they're just so quick & easy
to make! My boys ( I should really stop calling them boys, 3 of them are
 young men!) love em, Miss Rebecca has a new idea for one every
couple of days......and I still haven't made one just for me lol! So
 this one is simply using some gorgeous turquoise beads with silver
 spacer beads on some navy cord......with a simple sliding knot to open/close.
Ok my friends, that's me for today.....thanks for calling, see you soon!

Don't forget.....Miss Rebecca has CANDY.....she only needs 10 more
followers to reach her target of 100....would love it if you could
pop over!

I 'heart' you

Morning lovelies....and what an awful morning it is.....another day indoors
methinks.......so onto my card & for today I have a simple but (I think)
very effective card. I simply die cut a heart from a square of card, layered
it over a piece of hessian, added a stamped sentiment, a couple of pearls
and that's it......I think it would look good in other colours too!
Rightio, off to do some h****work......thanks for calling, see you soon!

A bit of a change........

Morning lovelies......hope you're all well!
Ooooh, it's a cold & frosty morning here, nothing much planned except

to make & my lot love 'em.........my new addiction methinks!
