My Heart's Wish

I am quite chuffed with my effort here. It is meant to look rustic...honestly! It is all hand cut and stamped and it is hopefully the first of many (well the second really but the first like this).

A new direction

So, I'm a bit nervous about posting this here! I am very much exposing my raw talent lol. This is the first prototype for my new metalwork venture. It isn't the best thing since sliced bread but it is a start and practice will make perfect.

A work in progress (WIP). It will be the second of a series, the first being fruit of passion posted below.

Setting up the workshop

Setting up the new workshop today. I hope to finish a UFO before the end of the week if I don't get stuck playing with my new metals and tools.

New Beginnings

I have started gathering tools for an exciting new direction. I have started a small business on Facebook. It isn't meant to be a multi-million dollar venture or anything, it is just for fun. I have named my page Blue Butterfly Designs (BBD) and I would like to start doing some hand stamped metal work and see where it takes me. Please visit and like my page by clicking above.

Been a long time

Hmmm haven't update this blog since October. Mainly because I have a new baby, Aria Grace :-). However this has not totally stopped me from beading. I made this little distraction in the weeks leading up to my C-Section. It is a first for me, very ordered and a double St Petersburg chain.

Don't you hate when life gets in the way of beading

Well on top of a crazy three months of uni work, I have had a crazy three months of pregnancy!! That's right number four is on his/her (please be a her) way. I finally wrote the last 1000 words of my uni assignment yesterday and I am hoping in the next fortnight to start some beading or to finish some UFOs. So watch this space............
