New at Talking Beads

Hello folks and folkesses! I am sorry I have not been about lately. I have been working on this little beauty (even if I do say so myself). For something so small it has taken a while to get right. I have already sold one to Sam at PantsandPaper and sent off two for road testing to Mrs G Knits and PussyGalore! Lovely names.
Anyway, this is a scissor keeper and a pin cushion.http://www.folksy.com/items/278925-Lilac-Scissor-Keeper This is the link to Folksy where it is listed with more images. Hope you like it. There are another 5 made and ready for their ribbons and tags. For those of you with good eyesight I agree, the hole in the card is very poor but I can not find my single hole punch... I will give it another few days to turn up before I go to Smiths to buy another one. Hopeless woman that I am ;)
Good Night for now x

Strength.

I found this on Twitter, it is a very sober read and I have no flippant words or pictures to go with it.
Hope you read it too.

Commission!

I had a bit of a panic a few days ago and thought Royal Mail had lost a strawberry bookmark I had made for Mrs G. Although she was very sweet and more sad than mad I refunded the money and rushed off to www to look for more strawberries! Then, 30 mins later had an email from Agnes saying it had arrived! Whew! So, when strawbs arrived yesterday, very nice ones too, I decided to tell the story on the Folksy forum and Debs (Dinky Daisy) asked if I would make her some earrings with them. How fabulous is that! So, a happy ending after all. Thank you Debs.
