I love Alice...

Just a quick post tonight - it's late, I'm tired and I promised myself an early night (failed again!)

I just can't seem to leave Alice alone. This latest bracelet is showing off the results of my fab gift from my dad - a metal hole punch with various sized holes...hours of fun! Perfect for my little rabbit and stylised Alice to crawl through (or at the very least dangle from!)

On sale in my Etsy store now.

School days



I realised today that I'm counting down to the end of the school year (9 weeks, not including half term!) I guess that means that my little munchkins are growing up and getting ready to move on and probably so am I! Any time now they start to get a bit bolshy and realise that they only have a few weeks left to be the biggest and eldest on the playground before they have to move up and it's another four years before they reach the giddy heights again!
That in mind I made a couple of school-themed bracelets - great gifts for graduation, teachers or end of year. It's always nice NOT to get chocolate or scented candles once in a while you know (I speak from experience! The amount of chocolate that I gorge through at Christmas and the end of the school year is disgusting...but it'd be rude not to!!)

Both of these bracelets are on sale in my Etsy store now!

Bank Holiday

Don't you just love bank holidays?! Going to bed on Sunday night knowing that you have one more lie-in before work - another whole day stretching in front of you with nothing to do?! Of course, I'm not going to get a lie-in - it's Leo's first day of his paper round and he has to be there at 7am - that means SOMEONE (?!) has to get up at 6am in order to make sure that he gets there on time! And I certainly don't have nothing to do (cleaning, shopping, planning, amerking...) but the theories sound!
the long weekend has given me chance to make some new bracelets, and show them here too.
This is the ''New Mum' bracelet - American or UK spelling, pink, blue or white beads, plus a year, date or name tag dangle.
This little bracelet is ideal for a gift for the lady gardener - grandma, aunty, mum, wife - just to acknowledge their position out there!
All these items are listed on Etsy now.
