All change


The black forest

I have been neglecting this blog a bit lately. Im not a natural writer so I tend to struggle with it, basically finding something interesting to say without repeating myself is quite hard!

So anyway it is all change here. We (my partner Dom & I) have decided to up sticks and move to France, as you do. We are still young with not many responsibilities so we thought why not?
We are moving next Friday so everything has been put on hold really until after the move, I have put my jewellery shop on Etsy in vacation mode until I am settled out there. We are going out there with no home and no job so a bit scary but also exciting. My mum lives out there so we wont be completely on our own, all change for us!

I have attached a photo I took while in Titisee, the black forest in Germany which is close by to where we will be going. Beautiful!

Busy, busy, busy!


Since I have come back from my holiday in France (excellent by the way, miss you mum!) I have been very busy, mainly with cake toppers. My jewellery has been neglected because of this but hopefully I will get some new pieces up soon. I need to get round to ordering some more silver clay and then can get cracking. I reeeeally want to buy a foredom flex shaft to, it would make life so much easier so I think I might in the next couple of weeks.

Anyway, here is another set of toppers completed today :)

P.s Forgot to say I have opened and Etsy store for my toppers, find it here

Cya!




So this is my last post for 2 weeks as I am off on my sunny hols to Switzerland/ France/ Germany. Everything I had to finish is done, charms made and sent and all 3 sets of cake toppers completed.
When I get back I have another couple of sets to make and then I want to start on some Halloween themed jewellery pieces in silver, Im thinking bats, ghosts, apples!?!
Speaking of apples I will finally get to finish the 4th and final book of the Twilight saga which I have saved mostly for my holiday and when I finish the book its going to be a sad, sad day ;)

Must go pack!

Dead animals, smashed cars & clay dogs



So we are looking after my other halfs, sons cat at the moment called sooty. Sooty likes to bring me dead presents in the middle of the night and sometimes live ones too. First of all it was a bird which I think played dead until Sooty had got him under the bed and then decided to come alive again, screeching and flying around under the bed with the cat trying to catch him again. The bird was surprisingly unharmed and we managed to put him back outside. Next was a little dead mouse which I am sure had been under there for a few days as I only realised it was there when I could smell it, yuck! Then I was woken up 2 days ago by the cat miaowing at me trying to show me a nice dead rat he had brought me, again under my side of the bed, lovely! I know you are showing me affection with all your gifts but please Sooty, no more presents!

Speaking of being woken up, I had a nice wake up call this morning at 7.30am when a car smashed into the wall below our bedroom window. Luckily we live above the pub my partner runs so not out house to damage, I swear the noise nearly gave me a heart attack!


Finally I am making some cake toppers at the moment and I have just finished these 2 miniature schnauzers, I will have a final pic of the toppers up here when they are done.
Thats all for now, have a great weekend everyone :)
