Spring Cleaning

well it is now Spring over here in Australia and whats the best thing to do when it's Spring?? CLEANING!! Over the weekend I thought I would get some much needed tidying up. I started with my dressing table and my desk and then came to my beading area *warning warning* I always tell myself to never let it get messy once I clean it up but somehow I just dump stuff here and there and it all just piles up again.

Anywho I have taken some before and after pics of my achievements. I do need to get some more containers as I have run out of them for my beadies. Just click on the pics for a bigger image.





Happy spring cleaning everyone!

Apologies

I am so sorry that I haven't updated my blog recently!! But to tell you the truth I have been so busy with work and with studying that I haven't even had time to make anything!! I am hoping to get some time over the weekend to maybe make up some cabs or something. I did buy some LSS and Ultrasuade so I should be able to start doing my first beaded cab soon, I just need to find the tutorial that I wanted to use.

However last Friday night we did go to a ball!! Was lots of fun and I love getting all done up for the night. Here is a pic of me and Scott when we got to the venue. It's a little blurry but you get the idea.

Website Building

I used to make all sorts of websites when I was younger and at school. I can't even remember what they were but they never seemed to be as hard as it is now to make one.

I am using a place called Yola and they basically have a free hosting section on their site which I am using. It isn't the best but it's good to start with until I get a feel of if I want to commit to a better website or not. I have done bits and pieces to get used to the site builder and it's not going too bad, just have to sort out how I am going to organise my cab lists.

Oh another note I am feeling a lot better than what I was yesterday. I am lucky that I didn't wake up with a terrible headache like I have the past few days but I can still feel something going on in my head which doesn't seem too good lol

Back to work for the next two days and off for a busy weekend of indulging myself in junk food...but oh well!! hehe

Start to another week

Well it is Monday here, yet another Monday. Haven't had the best weekend as I have had this terrible headache which doesn't seem to want to leave anytime soon and I am just so so tired today. I could go back to sleep but work might ring and I don't want to miss the call...zzz..z..zzz....

However on Saturday I did finish off my first bag! I am so proud. It looks great and even the two colours didn't turn out too bad either. Nice and bright for spring.

Hope you all have a good week!

Crystal Flower Hairclip

I am going to a Ball in 2 weeks time and usually I wear something sparkly in my hair and buy a diamonte clip but this year my dress is black and peach and I thought a nice flower would pretty it up a little bit. So I have decided to go with this rose and I just added some crystals to it from behind. I never noticed when I bought it that there were two big gaps where the petals weren't sitting so I guess it worked out pretty well to fill them in with crystal petals :P

You can see in this pic that I held it up to my hair so that you can see how the black tigertail disappears and it gives the illusion of floating crystals :)
