Autumn Half Term

Hi all hope you are all well?

It's the autumn half term. I am so excited. I have 2 weeks of quite time and 1 week to get everything back to scratch (no pressure) I walked through the college building and it was so quite with most tutors in training. 

So just to recap crafting wise. Last week I made a bracelet for wear it pink. It had such great reviews that I plan to make Christmas bracelets and working on the next week. I can't wait to show you all. 

I also wanted to share a birthday card I made last week but forgot to share on my blog.

Oh I nearly forgot...

During my week off next week I am planning to make my Christmas cards for the family. I am really excited about this as I have everything I need just need to cut stick and put together. Then a bonus came through my door. My monthly craft magazine arrived and part of my free gift.

Wear It Pink

Evening all. 

Friday 23rd of October was wear it pink day for Brest Cancer Awareness.

I have never seen so much pink in one day in my life. I am not a girly girl and do not have feminine colour clothing for work. 

So off I went to ASDA Thursday night to get something pink and had no luck could not find anything suitable. Then I tried Tesco and bingo... I found a top for £7 had it in my size.

It was when I got home and talking to hubby about my mad rush to find something pink for today and it dawned on me. I'm a crafter and make jewellery pieces. 

Has anyone had those days when busy at work and you forget everything.

So I went on a hunt in my cupboard for everything pink. I was able to make a pink kumihimo bracelet and a pair of earrings to go with my top.

Hears the thing. I don't wear pink and as much as they are lovely pieces they are never going to be used by me. I am putting them on folksy and hope it goes to a good home.
