Glass cabochon with dragonflies

Here's a sample of the glass cabochons I've been selling in my Folksy store this month:

Still going strong with those hair accessories

Buy British Month on Cloth Nappy Addicts is nearing the end but I still have loads more to do. Here are my latest items:

Custom glass jewellery

In between setting resin I've been fusing glass. I've made dozens of cabochons, mosting with black enamel or 22 carat gold decals. Here's some I custom made:

More jewellery :)

Still casting resin to make jewellery - my nails are a mess!

Resin cabochons

I've just made some cabochons using resin and dyes, and am busy setting them into place as hair accessories etc. I have a lovely selection of moulds :)














They all turned out rather well :)

Dyeing on jersey

It's Buy British Month on Cloth Nappy Addicts next week so I am frantically
trying to get things ready for that. Last week I did some dyeing on jersey for a change, and decided to create a less blended and more 'frilly' pattern than usual. Not the best pics as today it is dull and overcast and my husband broke the iron last week but here they are anyway. The colours are far deeper and fresher in real life, especially the first which is really aqua and mint! My camera does not like green!






Next week I'm doing some more, I'm aiming for darker and more gothic colours.

CNA Cybercraft - Baking

As well as sewing and knitting, the mums on Cloth Nappy Addicts do like to bake. So we're baking most days during this week's cybercraft.

Yesterday we did family biscuit baking with Helen. We're going to swap some of these chinese orange blossom biscuits with other children :)


Today I baked a delicious chocolate cake under Kate's guidance. This rather indulgent cake has a chocolate and whipped cream centre and chocolate and butter icing, and is topped with slivers of dark chocolate. This is my first ever big cake as usually I make buns!



We're having great fun :)
