Omg how excited am i , the 8th bead soup sign ups are coming.

I first heard about the blog hop two years ago but only joined in for the first time last year.

I had a great time making my items with the beautiful soup i was sent and although it was a little stressful worrying about doing the wonderful beads justice the experience was amazing.

It has given me the confidence to start a new blog, try new jewellery making projects and i have met and made friends with some truly wonderful people.

So huge thanks to the lovely Lori Anderson the brilliant mind behind this huge sharing experience.x

Holiday gift swap

It is Boxing day and all is finally calmed down enough for me to catch up a little bit.
Before Christmas i joined in with  a swap of gifts via the bead soup group.
I was paired up with the fabulous Krafty Max from http://kraftymax.blogspot.com.
We both had a lot in common including being the same age!
After deciding how and what we would exchange i began to look through my jewellery makes,to find something i was proud of.
Now i have seen many beautiful items of jewellery made by lots of very creative people and always feel my work is progressing slowly. But despite this i found a few pieces that i have been truly proud of making.
After choosing one item i then saw a fabulous cabochon made by blueberribeads and i knew Max could turn it into a fabulous piece of jewellery.

So glad both arrived safe and sound.

I was overjoyed when i received my gift from Max it was a gorgeous set made from her Grandmothers stash.
I wore the necklace on Christmas day and it felt amazing.
