The day of strops!

So today is the day I finally went back to the shed/ studio,at flipping last, I must admit that it has been a real task, having had sinitus for nearly 2 months and being on anti biotic for nearly 2 weeks, different ones, getting stronger and stronger, I gave in and made my move towards the shed....ha ha I was quite surprised that i could remember what to do!!! haha :D I must admit that what came out was very good,3 new cabs and 2 new pendants, still killed like mad! So teenager came in and I am to say the least feeling like pap, and she strops and grumps at the dogs,and the computer, and me, god teenagers are grim, how did the lovely child we gave birth to who doted on my every word, and looked up to me, and smelt of baby bubble bath,become this grumpy,untidy argumentative person, with stinky feet! Anyway I am mostly having the grumps/moans because I said to the teenage delight that I would dust off my knitting needles and make her a scarf....Beautiful wool, btw,like rainbow effects, was i happy doing stocking stitch, no, should i have cabled it... yes....Did cable it...no, I decided in a moment of " I can knit anything" to do a zig zag design off of Ravelry......grr, I would have had the blooming thing finished by now, if I had cabled it, I keep getting confused, and I have a stitch counter, still I loose track, how??? Surely that's impossible.....Not with the worlds worst knitter....should have crochet it, I would have enjoyed that!!!!! I will post a pick of dreaded scarf soon!

saturday......jelly fish day!

So Saturday already... been a hectic week, finally M C is having his training, took long enough, but at least hes enjoying himself! I have been trying new things in glass Cactus, and Fish, then today I have spent all day making jelly fish.....flipping heck they are hard...each bead takes half and hour.....Half an hour lots of clear wrap, and bloody hands that wont work, but it will all be worth it in the end.....I hope, there is nothing more frustrating than not being able to make it exactly as i want it!! But then I am impatient..........he he
As soon as the jelly fish beads are kilned, i will add them to my blog....Must sign off hands feel very sore.... :(

I did attempt , a few things mermaid puffin, strawberry, general randomness, but feel they didn't go as well as they should have.....I also made ralucca a hollow perfume bottle though, which I quite liked! Right am off to read am exhausted sitting up......as the tv show says.....epic fail!

sunday...the day of rest??




So Sundays here and after yesterday, I am going to have a rest, and maybe turn some more beads into jewellery. I made a few pendants yesterday, and am happy with the results! then the animals I made needed to take a stroll in the spot light

I think that they are rather endearing! I so want to make some more!!!
Sunday is going to be weirdly silent as daughter is out at a friends, sleep over last night....Midnight texts from here to tell me she can't sleep, very kind of her lol x
Oh I also made some totem beads (love these)



These are all one beads! very hard to stop from cracking, but I love them!!!

Very summery and fun, I try to get a bit of funky uber cool! Who knows.....I have used this blog on facebook now as my web address so that people can follow the link, to my website..thanks to silly people playing daft games, and reporting my website?? Never mind, never down for long that's me!
So tomorrow I will try and load some pics of the pendants, but at the mo I am writing this from my phone and have learnt to upload images yet!!
