Lots of Blogging soon

I had the new Crafty Individuals stamp plates pop through my door a couple of weeks ago and I have a pile of stuff waiting to be blogged that I have made using the new plates and also some of the older ones.
I have picked up a couple of the new distress stains that are out and they are yummy Happy Daze will be stocking these so keep an eye on Moira's site for when she uploads them.
I have just been really busy of late with going to the Stitches show and helping a friend to move and I have just not had time to take photo's. I am hoping to do this in the next day or so.
So check back over the next few days and I will hopefully have got it done.

Valentines Heart

I picked up a bag of 20 these from 2nd hand shop recently. I gave some away and with one of the ones I kept I made this.
It has been painted with gold paint and cream crackel over the top then a spritz of glimmer mist, I then added wsome gold leaf to it.
The flowers have been spritzed too as they were white. The little grunge board heart has been distressed wiht gold paint that has been appied thickly and then heated until it bubbled.
I have listed this in my Folksy shop
All the paints and other items used are availabel from Happy Daze

Amazing shop I found today

As you have probably noticed I use a lot of watch parts in the things I make. Well I was starting to get low on them again. So I searched out a shop some one told me about at a craft fair I attended before Christmas.

Well it was like an Aladdin's cave. It is owned by a lovely man who is the person in charge of all the clocks in Westminster, Downing street and the the Official offices, he has to go and wind the clocks at No 10 and parliament every Wednesday and he has asked me if I would like to go with him one week. But apart from all that the amount of stuff in his workshop was amazing. We were chatting to him for ages while he let me dig around in his workshop. I left with an amazing box of bits and pieces and he is going to find me more things when he sorts out a bit.

I also found a gallery that sells hand made jewellery. I have been asked to take some of mine in for them to look at. So fingers crossed that they like it.
