Chocolate anyone!

It is only Tuesday and I am fed up with this losing weight lark!! I am following a low carb regime....and I am thinking of putting £1 coin in a jar for every day I keep under 60 carbs a day!
So I am now obsessed with biscuits and scones. I made some on Sunday from my new Trex cookbook. Free with proof of purchase, get one they are great. The scones were the best I have made, and I make good scones, and the cookies, (I added dried cranberries as I had eaten all of the cooking choc drops), were amazing. So, by Monday my jeans did not need a belt to keep them up.
Hence finding this bracelet. I was thinking about choc and remembered this chocolate bracelet. It is for sale and is on my MISI shop under The Craft Cupboard and I only want £3 for it as this is the destash shop!

I have been doing my accounts recently and I need to stop spending unless I am selling...the nasty man from Westbury has asked to see my accounts so he can do my books. He is very sweet and when he tells me off it is more in sorrow than anger! Actually this is very good for me as I am now realising how much I spend on beads and pearls on the internet. Too much!

So, this bracelet is made from tiny seed beads in 4 stack herringbone stitch with a seed bead woven toggle. You are only paying for the materials, not the labour.

Now off to the day job, that pays for the bread, oh, can't have bread...

Test Kit

We are nearly there girls, just one more tester to book in and we will know if the kit is do-able. This is the sample by the way! I will show you the finished test necklaces when the images come in.
Sorry I have been missing for a while, my computer died. I know, very sad. My brother has set up a lap top for me but there were no pictures etc on and I do not like doing a blog without images! Looks boring. Anyway, off to bed, been to a party and just come home. Night Night, more soon x

New Shop



A little while ago I decided to have a CLEAR OUT. Actually it was when I came back from a holiday and thought 'why have I kept all of this STUFF!
Then a couple of weeks ago I decided to open a new shop on MISI called The Craft Cupboard. I want to put all of my 'left-overs' in there. There is nothing wrong with any of it but I need to make some room for things I actually use!!
The first offerings are pieces of jewellery I made as samples for workshops I helped to run when I was part of Three Jays Beading.
So here is the link. Have a look and let me know if you like it.
