Busy days

It has been a very hectic week around here. Work has reached almost fever pitch, and I've just been told that not only do I need to tapdance for this performance I'm in, but I have to sing. Sing!?! They pulled it on me when it's too late to back out. Lousy sods.

I've been making a few things on weekends. My hubby purchased me a PDA because there's so much going on lately that I was forgetting a lot of important stuff. He also decided I should make a new pencil case in which to store 'Poida' (the PDA), and hence, after much swearing and unpicking it appeared.

I ended up using these instructions that helped an awful lot.

I've been working through the beads my Mum made, and created this necklace. I'm rather proud of it and wish it was for me!

One day I'll take time to take pictures properly because this set up does not work for jewelery. The beads on the bottom are my mother's creations plus a silver leaf charm.

I've also got some delicious new fabrics to work with. Can you tell I love butterflies?
