The beading bug is back!

I've got a few new projects that I'm working on at the moment, and I'm finding myself wishing for more hours in the day so I can fit them all in, as well as sleep, and as well as playing the new Harry Potter game on the Xbox, and as well as baking and then eating cupcakes.. it's a toughie!

One thing I have managed to complete in the last week is some new beaded jewellery.



This bracelet was alot of fun. It's made from memory wire, so it's one big stretchy wire with no need for any fiddly clasps! I also made some pretty petal earrings to go with the bracelets..



in lots of different colour combinations..!



I had a handmade surprise gift to make for another fan of beading, so I got a plain wooden trinket box and decorated it, and filled it up with different beads..



This is winging it's way to the United States as I type, so I hope it gets there safely!

Last but not least, and nothing to do with beads, let me introduce you to Fleecy..



Fleecy is for another handmade surprise swap, for a lady who lists amongst her likes - 'sheep, prim style, original artwork'. He was another one that was alot of fun to make. He's on his way to Texas right now!

In Purple Sparkle news, our little shop is filling up with more and more handmade goodies..



In the past week we've got in some beautiful glass jewellery, love tokens and lazy bones fish from Lazy Daisy Glass, and some gorgeous fabric goodies from Julie at Shabby Chic.

See you soon,

Love from Purpley :-)
