Nearly Christmas!!!

Hi everyone,


I cant believe it's nearly Christmas! I've only got a couple more presents to buy. I stuck to my word and bought lots of handcrafted presents this year from MISI and will definitely be doing it from now on. One of my faves have been these handmade soya candles, they smell delicious! 

These were made to order by The Pink Fairy Cake http://www.misi.co.uk/product_desc.php?user_id=12445

I'm giving one to my Mum, sister, cousin and friend.

I bought this for my sister, he's called Punkee Zee and she is going to love him, luckily she doesn't read this blog or I've just given away two of her presents!

This was made by Hennie's NimbleNeedles, also on MISI.

Ive only bought one for myself so far and can't bare to give it up because it is soooo scrummy, check this out

It really smells like chocolate and you have to force yourself not to nibble on it! I'm certainly keeping it out of sight from my toddler! You can buy one for yourself or other fabulous soaps from www.soaperstar.com

My friend who made the above soap also writes a fab blog, her last one was what inspired me to write this and tell you about the talented crafty people Ive bought from this year, it's about promoting them and the lovely things they make by doing a random act of kindness. Please read her blog and maybe you could join in and do something random for someone today?

I've FINALLY took photos of new jewellery and got it all onto the website, have a look at www.beadsandmorebylois.co.uk

I also made some fun Halloween pieces today, more cute then spooky but I think they are fab!

Pumpkin charm bracelet with a lampwork pumpkin, silver pumpkin charms, stars and balls and Swarovksi crystals.

Pumpkin cluster, chain necklace with a silver pumpkin charm, stars and beads!

Looking forward to making some christmas themed jewellery but think I'll leave that till the baby is here!

Halloween Baby

Now October is here, reality has hit that I am having my baby this month!! Due on halloween and I hope he comes on that day - think of all the fab parties!

This month is going to be busy, what with christmas fairs next month to prepare for and a baby on the way, I really need to get stuck into building a larger stock of jewellery but been in abit of a slump the last week. I've finished orders but not been creative with anything new and interesting, I've just been staring at my beads..... Who wants to give me a kick up the bum?!
