I’ve been really busy with my pieces for the Creative Exchange of late – so much so that I’ve forgotten to post up my progress. I’ve got so much to do this month that time is very limited, but I want to post up a few more piccies to show you how I’m getting on.

I had a glorious day in the sunshine today putting hte glass into my greenhouse at long last. In the aftertoon, to cool off I took the dog down the beach and went paddling in the sea. I rolled my trouser up to my thighs and pushed them up as high as they could go […]

I have to apologise for the delay in sorting out the winner of my 500 Facebook Fans Giveaway! I meant to do this at the weekend, but got so busy with other things and then my printer went wonky and my laptop refused to recognise it, so I had that to sort out as well. […]

I guess it’s got something to do with the fact that we’re entering into the ‘wedding season’ and garlands are quite popular. I discovered these today and I not only love the bright colours, the […]

I’ve just re-dsicoverd my River Cottage Handbook No 2 – Preserves by Pam Corbin. I forgot I had this book! One of the first recipes listed is for Green Gooseberry Jam with elderflower and I think I’m going to attempt to make it at the weekend. Our gooseberries are doing well despite the caterpillar attack […]

Last week I cut the two rods of acrylic I received into small discs as I decided to make an orange neckpiece and a green neckpiece too. The next task was to drill two holes into each disc and this is where things went horribly wrong. I nearly cried as it took me so long […]

I got a lovely email from Central Station this morning saying that they’d selected my Map Paper Garlands to be the ‘Featured Work’ on the website. So I’ve got a lovely prominent plug for Milomade on the Bulletin page, on the Community page and on the Portfolio page. Chuffed to bits as I only decided […]

Have a look at the lovely jewellery made by Colby June. I love these oak branch earrings and the whole Compose Decompose range. The branches remind me of the coral shapes I sketched earlier this year and wanted to use for some of my sea glass jewellery. I ended up making polished silver claws instead […]
