I attached these and the Swarovski beads to a silver-plated chain at various random intervals - then attached this to a silver-plated chain.

Swarovski bicone beads - 6mm

Saturday 15th July

Me at my stall at the Miso Funky Craft Fair. Saturday 15th July, Hillhead Library, Byres Road, Glasgow 10am - 4pm.

A very enjoyable day - I sold my cherry earrings, necklace, iPod Nano covers and lots of badges. There will be lots more badges at my next stall as they were so very popular.

iPod Nano / Gadget mitten cosy!

Presenting my iPod Nano mittens!! Made to keep your little Nano snuggly and warm, this little mitten will protect Nano from scratches and bumps.

I'm planning to make these in a whole range of colours, so if you'd prefer another colour just let me know - Email me. Most of the colour range available can be found in my shop - although I do have a few colours that I haven't yet tried.

I was also thinking of making two mittens and attaching them to each other with ribbon / i-cord - the idea being that they could be worn around the neck with the Nano in one as a kind of necklace - bringing back childhood memories of mittens on a string! Whaddya think?

Buy it here for $17.00 / £9.95 - free shipping if you mention this blog in the message section upon purchase [wait for adjusted Paypal invoice]

I made a fabby summer stripes one last night - however watching Big Brother and following my mitten pattern didn't quite work and it ended up being too wee - back to the beginning go I!

Feeatured Seller

My featured seller this week is Sew Easy Creations whose funky little washing-up liquid bottle aprons are so quirky!

I [obviously!] have a thing for cherries, and during my meanderings through Etsy I came across this fabulously simple, yet genius idea to stop the dribbles from running down your washing-up bottle and also dressing up a dull kitchen item.

She has lots of other fun designs in her shop, although the cherries is my fav. Take a look!

Loving it!!

Stitch Marker jewellery

These are my hot firey Swarovski stitch markers / jewellery! I made them because I was looking for a mobile storage solution for stitch markers, and the idea of them as 'charms' to a necklace or bracelet was the perfect solution.

I love the contrast between the firey Swarovski beads, and the jet black Swarovski accent bead. The accent bead is helpful to mark the beginning/end of a row when working on the round.

The aqua chain I felt just finished the piece off - it's such a vibrant contrast to firey markers.



As the stitch markers are removeable and come with a necklace / bracelet set it is entirely upto the wearer to decide how many stitch markers they need, and whether to wear just the necklace or bracelet - or both!



They are available for purchase via my Etsy shop for $18.00 / £10.00 - click here
Free shipping worldwide if you mention seeing them via this blog in the messages section. (I will send an adjusted Paypal invoice]

Hope that you like them!
