These lovely brooches are a new range I am adding to my craft jewellery collection. I was going to wait until the new year, but couldn’t resist adding them to my online shop straight away. I’ve got a huge batch of vintage zips in a range of colours and lengths, so the brooches come in a few different sizes. I’ve only made a few so far, so there will be more to come soon.

I took the time to photograph each individual button bracelet that I have in stock and I have now added them to my shop at long last – so many people have asked me to sell these online, so I’ve taken the hint and they are now available here.

I got a ring order this week for one of my lovely Pamuya rings – it’s the last one in this limited set unfortunately – and the customer wanted me to add an antique patina to it. The final result is amazing and I wish I’d added a patina to the other ones I’ve made in the past as it works really well with this design.

I was in Aberdour this morning taking the dog to the vet and for the first time in ages my visit coincided with the small antique shop being open – yay! I’ve not been in there since I moved to Kinghorn and they had some lovely silver spoons in the window, so I had to pop in and rummage around.

I mentioned on Facebook earlier that I’d made some brooches from zips last night and that I’d post up some pictures on my blog. I followed a few tutorials and kind of made things up as I went along with their guidance and I really love the results.

On the Saturday 3rd December – i.e. this coming Saturday – I’ll be holding a stall at the Aberdour Christmas Fayre organised by the Aberdour Primary School Parents Association. This is being held in the Aberdour Community Centre on Shore Road (where the Library is) and the doors open to the public at 10am and close at 2.30pm – so you’ve got 4½ hours to come and do some Christmas shopping.

I’ve often admired lanterns like these and even saved up a load of tin cans this summer to give making them a go, but life kind of got in the way what with my roller coaster year of upheaval and the cans ended up in the recycling bin and the idea stashed away for a rainy day. Well today is that rainy day and I’m determined to give these a go at long last.

I saw these buttons on eBay recently and just couldn’t resist getting a few packs. They’re so lovely and perfect for this time of year – if it’s going to snow for real, at least I can have a little snow in my life anyway.

I made a few of these necklaces a while ago and had difficulty decided on how to photograph them. I played around with a few ideas and never really made any conclusions as to the best approach. I not only find them hard to photograph, I also find them hard to display at craft fairs as well! So I decided to have another go today as I’ve thought about a way I could package them up into bags ready for display/sale and might add some to my shop this week.

Jessica over at How About Orange is a total genius. I was flicking through my favourite blogs last week and stumbled across her latest tutorial and just had to share it with you here on my blog. It’s brilliant. It’s so simple too – once you know how and thanks to Jessica spending ages figuring it all out, you don’t have to – just follow the instructions and away you go…
