Bib Necklace - my first attempt :-)

True to my word I headed into the local trimming shop this morning and purchased some glittery black felt and those cute little flower shaped sequins/ diamontes! Modelling it on the Penney's version, above is a quick pic of my first attempt at the "Bib" necklace!!! What do you think? I can't believe how easy it was to make! The flower embellishments are actually for card crafting but with little craft glue they worked a treat!

Think I'll be out hunting for more quirky little gems tomorrow and get to work on producing some more with the copious amount of felt I purchased today. I know it's probably cheaper to buy the flet online but I just couldn't wait the obligatory 3-7 days for the felt to arrive; I just had to get crafty today!

Watch this space for more necklaces!!!!

Rain, rain go away, I want to wear the necklace I made today ;-)

Feel like felting?

Oh how I skipped up the road from work this evening with the knowledge that there was a delightful parcel from the US of A waiting for me!

I recently ordered some "create your own felt flowers" from a wonderful Etsy.com vendor "Carefree Gimmer" (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5159924) and oh what a great purchase! I've been sitting out the back basking in the sun and sewing to my hearts content! No needle-prick injuries sustained hurray ;)

Tomorrow I'm off to get me some embroidery thread and really go to tow with my latest brooches! I promise to be brave and post the pics of the final products.

Many thanks again to Carefree Glimmer. The site just has to be visited as it contains lots of very reasonable and high quality items. It really touched my heart to read that this amazing lady creates all the wonderful craft items to help her family between visits to various medical appointments as her daughter was born with serious health conditions. I am in total awe of this woman's courage and strength...

Let's hope my finished products look as good as these...
