Handmade Monday

Well haven't written for a while mainly due to being extra busy at work catching up with a week's worth of things that amassed while I was away in Cambridge.

Have been busy this weekend.  It seems to take a good while to put things on the website - especially if it's more than one or two!  Posted up some beaded rings I made - thought they'd be good little gifts:


and also these little crocheted skinny neck scarves.  I find them really handy to pop on if you're wearing a top/sweater at this time of year as they aren't too thick and bulky/hot.

I also got round to tidying up all the beads etc that I had in little bowls on the coffee table and brought a little cabinet through for my crafting stuff to go into - wow! the sitting room looks so big now!

Oh, remember the decoration swap I was involved in? Well this was the one I sent :



Pop over to 1st Unique Gifts to read some great blogs and see what everyone has been up to.

Have a great week!
Mich :)

  1. I love the skinny neck scarf - great for those tops/jumpers that have a v-neck that's just a bit too low. Lovely colour.

  6. They're lovely pieces, that scarf must have taken ages to make. I'm sure the recipient of that decoration is going to be really pleased, hope you get something just as nice in return. x

  12. Love the scarf. Nothing worse than cold weather but hot shops and a bulky scarf, so a good idea!

  17. Those are all lovely, I love the little beaded ring. Once I really get things organized (maybe after the holidays) I might try my hand at beading. I surely admire your things.
