Good Evening!

I have been tagged and now I am tagging 8 people, so here goes: All they have to do is a) Answer the questions b) Rework the questions + delete one you do not like and put in an alternative c) Think of a new question d) Tag 8 people to do the same.

People I am now tagging:

Sprinkles Sparkles; Here Pretty Kitty; Designs by Isis; Mad about Bags; Uniquely Snowflake;

Little Scruffs Miniature Bears; Moppy; Hennie



I chose them because I either like their sites or I follow them on forums. I sound like a stalker now.....

Well, that was not quite what I wanted!!! I wanted the pictures to be one on top of the other but with a space in between for me to write in.

Anyway, my new bookmark is on the left! She is a sweet little angel made from Swarovski Crystals and dangles from a white metal wiggly bookmark. She is going up for sale at £6 inc postage and packing.


Next picture is my wonderful Stash Swop from Moppy on MISI. We agreed to send a bag of our bits and bobs to someone to the value of £5. I think I just got really lucky! All we have to do (!!!)is use up all of the bits and bobs by 1st August! See you on 1st August, I shall be up to my neck in sewing until then. Actually I am looking forward to it.

I have been tagged too, AMI designs.
So I will deal with that in the morning when it is cooler.....

Have I got this wrong!

Here are my Emma Ralph Lampwork Beads!

I am on her list for her newsletter and when she lists some new beads I am one of the people who get told first. Very good so far, but her beads are sooooooooooo fabulous that you have to be VERY quick!

I was quick 3 times.

Now when you buy her beads you are supposed to send her a photograph showing her what you have used them for. Do you think she intended them to be just looked at?

So, here are the two passions of our house. Penstemons (my husband) and lampwork beads, mine. Guess who spends most money?
