Cupcakes Galore!

So many Cupcake beads. I've really enjoyed making these lately - it's all the different colour and design combinations.

All those cherries .....

..... and all those sprinkles!

If you like Cupcakes, check back later today as I'll be doing a Cupcake giveaway!

"Do you mind?"

I think that if Buster could speak English, then that is what he'd have said to me at this moment. Buster is a big old cat. As you can see here, he fills my lap and then some. He likes to settle down on my lap while I'm knitting but he normally doesn't stay there for very long as I constantly annoy him (not deliberately, I must add) with my circular needles. Occasionally he turns around and glares at me with a peeved look on his face, perfectly illustrated in this photo.

'Oceans Heart' by Janine Byrom

I just got an email from Janine over at Cherished Trinkets and attached was a photo of this super necklace that she's made with one of my heart beads. Vintage prettiness!

If you're a fan of vintage-style jewellery or Alice In Wonderland-themed wearables then do make sure you head on over to Janine's Etsy shop and have a browse.

Silkiness

Due to my cold, I have no beads to show you so in the meantime I'm going to bore you with knitting stuff.

This wondrous yarn arrived today. It's one hundred percent silk and I bought it from Eirwen at KnitWitches Yarns. The colour is called 'Lavender Mists' and it's a dreamy blend of palest lavender and silvery white. The sheen is out of this world - it's almost like it was spun from lavender-coloured stars. Magical! It's going to be a scarf for me.

Right - I'm off to see if I've got any beadmaking ability. Catch you later!
