Following all the Christmas creations I feel less pressured to complete works to a deadline and have started getting back to all those “ideas” I had. One of which is a light pink purse, with a spray of White Roses. I will be doing some bead work on this one and looking forward to see...

Rose *Coin Purse
The recipient of this *coin purse is very much loved and I know she will be reading this blog post. I want her to know that I think of her often and am too very grateful to have you in my life. Faced with some pretty ‘bad luck’ this year, I wanted to send a...

Peacock feather *coin purse
Well of course I made purses as Christmas gifts this year! 🎄 No surprise there! So here’s the second “post-Christmas-reveal” post of one of the purses given as a gift this year. Peacock’s are known for their beauty and grace. They symbolise a large range of things across the various religions, but astonishingly all appropriate for the recipient of this purse and...
Christmas past 🎄
This evening as I’m finishing off my Christmas gift crafts I’m remembering all the crafty projects over the years that I’ve made. Many without a photo but the memories are there nonetheless, the decorations made hanging and the gifts given all remembered fondly. Hand made items are so personal and when a lot of love and...
Little Harvey *Bunny

However, I’ve managed to finish another purse (which I’m sure J won’t want), which I’m allowed to share with you...
Watermelon *Coin Purse 🍉

I bet you did!! 😊 I do apologise for the late update readers and fellow craft bloggers… besides being quite busy with custom orders (and of course my day job), I was asked by my customers not to display the finished works I’ve been creating for obvious secret Christmas present reasons… so its been...
Full Steam ahead…
Sometimes life drops in a few surprises just at the right time… I love it when something falls in your lap especially when its a wonderful surprise present… Yesterday such a surprise dropped into my life and there was no way I could ignore it…. Coming out of the supermarket and back to the car, this poor fellow was lying...
