Blog candy shout out and a couple of new bits

Evening all. Sorry I've not been about much, I've been a little preoccupied with other things....mainly my beautiful cousins Order of Service for her wedding this coming Saturday. I'll pop photos of those up this time next week.
Anyway, as you can see by the title I have a blog candy shout out for Sarpreet, who is a very talented lady and I do hope those of you that see this will pop along, follow her her blog and help to spread the word;-

Now onto the couple of new bits. The first is a baby boy card that my MIL asked me to make for the arrival of her neighbours new baby the other day.

I used Crafters Companion Popcorn kids CD and stamps, I also finally got around to using my cuttlebug and nestabilities....how on earth did I manage without those little babies!

The next bit is another twisty scarf. This one is more suitable for a super stylish young girl as it's a bit shorter as I did it in a tighter tension than the pink one.

Over the next week, I'll be uploading items to my Folksy shop and getting my website back up and running so people can see the sort of things that I have made in the past and order them in their own choice of colours and materials....after all not everyone wants cotton or acrylic :-)
Hope you like them both and please don't forget to check out Sarpreets blog candy.
Take care

Made this today!

And I'm rather chuffed with it if I'm honest, and if I was a girly girl I'd be keeping it for myself instead of adding it to the stock for the stall on the 23rd.

Also here is a close up photo of an order for cream earrings all mounted on their card.

Going to crack on with some cards next, so I have a few to sell. I'm not going to go too mad though as I have no idea whether I'll even sell anything yet. If it doesnt go it'll all be uploaded to my Folksy store and my webby. That is the next project after this sale - get my webby in order. I know how I want it to look and how I want things to work, just getting the time to put my dastardley plan for world domination into place...mwahahahahahaha! Ooops! Did I say that out loud :-)
Take care everyone and I'll be back real soon with some more makes of various guises.

I'm back after a BAD week

And it was a very bad week I hasten to add. Last Sunday I was told I had pharyngitus and that all I could do was take my painkillers along with some soluble aspirin and that as long as I drank I'd be okay. Well baring in mind it was killing me to swallow in the first place I wasn't amused at this diagnosis. Then on Monday I heard that my Farf (my grandad) had died the previous Wednesday and that the funeral was to be on the Thursday. Well with this emotional pain, as well as the pain in my throat that would not go away and took my voice with it, I really did not feel like crafting at all. I did start and finish a chunky lacy scarf though saying that - picture to follow.
Anyway, after the trauma of Thursday, I suddenly felt that I needed and wanted to craft once again so I have made several pairs of crocheted earrings and finished off loads of brooches that needed finishing (well obviously lol). I also made some cards to display said earrings and brooches off.

Expect to see some cards soon as well as I've got a load printed off and ready to be made up. Anyway, I'm going back to work tomorrow even though I'm not 100% (I'm only about 60% if I'm honest), but I have to take the 2 purple brooches into work as they were orders from my work buddies.
Take care everyone, I'm going to go and drink some more water (cools my throat and makes it feel better) and have a bath. See you all later....
