We had snow in cheltenham last night and I had steamy breath at box office in work!!! Anyway..despite the cold I have struggled on and made this!!!

BRRRRRR!!!

O.K. downstairs is far to bloody cold so I've moved upstairs to share the heat with the spiders and the HUGE centipede we found in our bath last night!! It was so big I'm actually scared to be in the flat alone!!

Anyways, I said I'd put these up last night but alas my bed was far to appealing.....and warm so I'll put them up now!! I really like the big turquoise buttons I think the brown linen thread goes really well with them. The necklace also has a sturdy screw clasp closure.


Also just finished before I head off to work...a slightly longer brown and yellowy/beige necklace with screw clasp.

Look What I Found!!!



Look at these lovely goodies!!! I found them today all in one charity shop...and heres the best bit it all came to £2.55!! I couldn't believe it. I go in this shop quite often because they have nice buttons but when I saw the pins and best off all the moomin plate I was soo happy!! And then to top the day off I found ten pounds on the floor ....so I bought some comics!! BONUS!!

However...and brace yourself for a rant..I did get rather annoyed at someone who I wont name because thats just spiteful. But im just a bit upset because previously this person had frowned upon the fact that I made homemade stuff and generally gave me the impression that it wasn't worth my time or anyone elses. However I saw this person in local shop purchasing stuff to make their own stuff. Which is great im happy for them because making stuff is a great experience. I just feel that she doesn't need to be so mean about my stuff. maybe she was embarassed and couldn't say that she liked mine or what I dont know.....just wish she wasn't so bloody rude!!


Freshly made 5 minutes ago!! A reversible tote bag..I didn't go all out on the decoration just some white and red buttons. Look out for it on Nov 29th.

Lovely tea before horrible madness!















Its arthurs first shift at the cinema tonight and it is also the opening night of high school musical (eurgggggghhhhhh!!) so as a treat before we went into work we went for tea at the curious cafe. I love this cafe its so lovely there are nooks and crannies every where full of bits and bobs. When I day dream about owning my own cafe this is what I imagine it might look like!!! Its such a lovely walk upto it too, we went through one of cheltenham's numerous parks!!!
Also the buttons I ordered on ebday arrived today...they are nice but I think I was expecting more because the picture had lots on there, never mind!! there are still some nice ones in there as you can see.
