Well I have eventually went part time at work and started to make jewellery again, as well as spending more time around the animals.
I have some pieces for sale on facebook 'Shoebox jewellery designs' and it is getting really busy now. I can't make enough bookmarks for the girls at work.
I forgot how much i enjoyed crafting.

Heres a necklace I love to wear that I made a couple of months ago

Aha, Karen's got competition (Happy Hippy) Well done on taking the plunge
-
I have actually made jewellery since I was a child (so a few years now) but have just decided to sell some pieces, obviously smallholders have to do what they can to pay the bills. I don't think I will be competition to anyone but it does keep me out of mischief
-
Well had a great day sitting making bits of jewellery to sell then realised I can't find the camera :dunce: hehehe
I have to order more supplies now as again I have ran out of bookmarks ;D
-
wonderful wonderful work ... I love crafting just about anything.. so glad you are taking so much joy from it :)

Lubbly!! I love things like that but never get to wear stuff other than old things that I wear for walkies and cleaning !!! one day..... ::)
-
Just thought I would add a few more pics ;D
-
Not sure if I missd but do you have stuff on E Bay? I am a bit short just now but would love to put together a wish list as its just the sort of t hing I love..I have my eye on a dress on E Bay and would love something to go with it but no money for either just yet!! Very nice :D
-
I'm not a jewellery wearer (can't even find my wedding ring!!).....But I love those bookmarks. Would make ideal Christmas pressies. How can I buy some?
-
Julie, you can order by sending a colour and inspiration request to rachelellis4@hotmail.com. I will make something 'bespoke' then send you a photo for approval then you can make payment through paypal or other method if you wish.
Sandy, whenyou get your dress send me photos and I can make something to suit you and your budget.
I have just done a custom made necklace for a friend that was semi precious stone which made it expensive but she was over the moon an equivelant would have cost her about 4 times as much on the high street.
On the other end of the spectrum I have made stretch bracelets from aycrilic beads for a friends daughters birthday party gifts costing about £1 each
-
Those items are really good. Well done. This forum is full of talented people. Really inspiring :)

Nice stuff Rachel :) Only thing I'm good at making is a mess ha ha ha 8) 8) 8)
-
sounds about right Mick ;)

OK I am going to be doing a bit of a batch make on bookmarks as a lot of people have expressed a wish to buy them as gifts for family for xmas. As these obviously take time to make I am going to have to get started ASAP.
If anyone wants to order they are £5 each + p&p contact me on pm or email and your desired charm (cats, butterflies, stars)
-
Well I have a full weekend planned making a batch of bookmarks what a hard life I lead ;D
I am also going to have to place an order for more beads and findings so if anyone wants to order for my next batch please let me know before monday when I finalise my order.
Thankyou all for your support :love:
