EF AJJ Week 8

It's taken so long to do this one as it was hard to decide on just the one thing.
In the end it had to be my health.
Everyone that lives with a chronic illness knows what it can be like. Sometimes you hate every twinge just waiting to see if it turns into anything because you know that it will sometime. Going from being a healthy new mum one minute to being really ill with a small child and knowing that this is going to be there for the rest of your life. It can be a hard to handle.
You learn to live with it so you can control it not the other way round.
So I miss my Health.
Wouldn't you?

New sub-forum at NPLH

As I love all my beads so much and I like to talk about them so I have set up a sub-forum on No place Like Home to chat about them. If anyone would like to join me then please do. I look forward to getting to know you.

Me and my Boy

This is another photo that taken on mothers day. It has been a long time since we last had a photo taken together. It was just too good to miss out. So here we are Me and My Boy.

Just a bit late

Tonight i finally gave other her Christmas present. Here it is Perdita from Mango Beads. She is lovely in real life. I just thought that it looked like me and that's what she wanted so that's what she got.

Family photo

This is one of the photos that was taken on mothers day. For once i'm not wearing my glasses.

EF AJJ Week 3

I'm slowly catching up with these.
This is week 3 which was I am.
I have used purple card and that i have put cherry Arte chipboard letters which were inked black and then painted with glittery silver nail polish. I then wrote the words on lilac card and then glued them on. Finally i painted the edges with the nail polish.
I am all these things to different people at the same time.

New bead and wish lish

I've got The Blues, the Dolly bead that is. A friend had brought it the other night but when she got it it didn't match the beads she already has so she has sold it to me. I'm so pleased and i should have it tomorrow. It's going to look fab with Purple Velvet.












Here are two silver Troll beads that are on my wish list. This first one is Mocha, this is for my love of coffee and namely starbucks coffee.
This second one is the letter B and it stands for my name.
I have a few others that i want as well. There is a Snake, thats because i was born in the year of the snake.
I want an Aeries one because thats for the month i was born in.
I could go on but i won't. I'm loving all these beads.

Flowers for mothers day

I was a very lucky mummy on Sunday and i got lots of flowers. I got these lovely tulips and this hydrangea silver troll bead from Dom (with help from his granny, thank you mother I love you lots). We went out to lunch and all the mums got given Orchids and this is mine. I just love it and it is next to my bed.
Sunday was a nice day. Dom woke me up with a card that he had made at school and then we got up and got ready to go out. We had to meet the family at the photographers to have a photo taken for mothers birthday (had to be now as we were all together for once). We got a few taken of us all. I have ordered one of just me and Dom which i think looks nice. Will be a while before we get them. I'm looking forward to it.

EF AJJ Week 10

This is week 10 Note to Self.
It says Enjoy Life live it to the full. Have fun and don't dwell on the past to much. Remember to have fun as well.

Doms Week 11

Dom saw the card that I've just done and said I want to do one, so we just have and here it is.
He choose all the colours himself. I inked the chipboard letters for him and glued them onto the card, two parts were inked first. He then did the doodles.
We are going to do more over Easter.

AJJ Week 11

Week Eleven is up an this week its Your Initial. I had an idea straight away and for once i done it on the day i saw the prompt. So here it is. For this I used Acetate and on that i used Hambly screen prints wings and crown. I inked a chipboard B with copper ink and then glued onto the Acetate.
The Acetate was stuck to a piece of black card using purple brads.
I'm really pleased with it.

Buddy bead

Dom is getting a bead for his birthday. This is a Buddie Bead from Mango beads. He just fell in love with it and hes really looking forward to getting it. He's going to wear it on a leather tong around his neck. I will have to make sure that he can't take it off and lose it. Enjoy it baby.

Flowers

Here is a picture of the present that i gave to my mum for mothers day yesterday. It is normal to have flowers for mothers day but they don't normally last that long. So i decided to make her some and here is the finished product.

Dollies

Yet more Dollies were loaded onto A Sting of Beads. I managed to get Cinder Toffee which you can see here and it is so lush. Jaq gets better and better with each batch.

The second Dolly here is The Blues which I just love but was too slow to get it. There was one last week so when i saw it this week I just knew that it was right as the bead for Dom on the bracelet. I'm going to place a special order for it in a week or so. I think it will look lovely sat next to Purple Velvet.
Roll on my birthday so they will all be on their own bracelet and on my wrist. They are going to look so good.

Hair cut

What do you think?
I've been wanting to get it done for ages but today was finally the day i had most of my hair cut off. I am so pleased with it.
I hate having my hair in my face so i was always wearing it in a ponytail, now I'll just wear it pushed back with a band (like in the photo).
I went into Claires accessories and brought some clips and a couple of Alice bands. I just know that I'll be wearing them all the time now.
I just need to dye it now. What colour should i go for?
