The End of Another Year.....

2016 has been one of those years, that if I had a time machine, I wouldn't rush back to visit it!  But seriously there's been good and bad things happen this year, hopefully I'm a little wiser at the end of it and ready to embrace the New Year and all the possibilities awaiting me.   I still need to become better organized and focused in all aspects of my life (blog more often!) and buy a pair of red latin dance shoes (love to dance) =)

Above is a picture of one of my latest creations.  First thing I'm going to do once the kids are back to school, is go through all my 24+ years worth of beads, I have a lot of beads, reorganize them and price them, ready for my jewellery making or selling as de-stash.  

What are your plans for the begining of the year? I'd love to know!

I will blog soon, but in the meantime feel free to visit my Etsy shop for a browse of what I've made so far by clicking here =)

Happy New Year!

Craft Britannia's November Treasure-Thon.....Winter Weddings

 Well one of the themes this treasure-thon was winter weddings, so I put together some treasuries based on this theme.  For this one I added lovely touches of blue and wanted a kind of fairytale vintage feel to it.  You'll note the swan, a bird associated with love, partnership and found in many myths and fairy tales =)

This time I used whites and creams with some nature inspired items being the main focus.  I was kind of going for a soft snow effect.....

And now for that burst of Christmas red with some traditional dark evergreen.  The idea for this treasury in part came from the old Christmas hymn "The holy and the ivy", which I had to sing at school and is maybe one of my favorites =)
