My wee purchases :)
On Tuesday night I was lucky enough to be able to head along to the Lucky Penny Crafty Club in the city. I was supposed to have my final class that night (I've just completed my Small Business Management Cert - Go Me!) but it got postponed until this evening, so my Tuesday was freed up. If you are ever free on the 1st Tuesday of the month, I highly recommend coming along to one of the Lucky Penny evenings. They are great fun, and a good excuse to drink wine, eat cake and talk craft (couldn't get any better really!). It was the first one I have been able to get along to, and it was great to meet some new crafty peeps. There were a few pics taken, but alas none by me, so hopefully they'll make their way to fellow crafters blogs soon.
This week I also received my first "Christmas Ornament Swap" in the mail. I just love getting packages in the post. It's a hand felted mini stocking with my name on it and was made by Peach of Twohand Jewelry.
I really need to get onto making my decorations to send out, I just can't decide what I want to make. Think that might be a Friday night project for me.
On a final note, I have been having a nightmare of a time with Pendants this week. The supposed "new and improved" lacquer I purchased to coat my pendants with has turned out to be far from that. So I've been frantically researching a better alternative to re-do them in time for Crafternoon Tea next weekend. Here I was thinking I was being super prepared getting them ready the last couple of weeks, only to discover a week before the market that they need fixing - eek! I'll be fine though, just maybe a tad busier next week than anticipated!
Hope everyone is getting themselves all prepared for Christmas... I know I'm not ;)

Hi kylie, i use sun and moon craft liquid glass which I find REALLY good. I have a little left in one bottle before I move on to the next if you want to give it a go? Let me know and I can pop it in the mail to you. Sarah
ReplyDeleteOh Sarah if you could that would be SOOOO fantastic. Thank you so much! I think I may have come up with an alternate to water based lacquer, but it's a bit pricey to set up so won't be happening until the New Year. Thanks a million :) K x
