Christmas is coming.......



Only one week to go and it is looking promising for snow on Christmas day here in England, I can't remember the last time I think I was very small. We already have some carol singers at the house as you can see from the picture above :)
Well I am updating my online shops tonight with new stock as well as making some and adding this post. My first online tutorial will be on sale soon for something really lovely and I have so many others in my head and notebook ready to go too. I think I am going to do online tutorials next year and try to sort out a teaching class, just need to find a nice place to rent or use for it close to home...

Here are a few little models I have been making and I will be adding them to the Etsy shop tonight and I also have some new jewellery and accessories including hair clips and headbands in a shabby chic style that will be going on too this week.

I also am finishing a project for 'Making Jewellery' magazine that will go to print next year and I should be in it twice :) wooo hooo

And just so you get an idea of the sizes of these models, the rectangular ones are ATC size (or a playing card) and the round ones are approx 1.5 inches or 4 cm so cute :)



















Oh yeah and don't forget that I also have another blog called 'Juliet's Craftzine' which has free tutorials for various things on it including a fabric bauble at the moment and I will be adding a couple more this week.

Little Miss Crafty's Grotto !!



I feel like one of Santa's Elves that is in a workshop all year long making loads and loads of stuff ! I have been making so much and it feels like the days just disappear, a whole weekend gone in the blink of an eye ! I think we need at least another 5 hours in a day or at least a weekend.
Well here are the fruits of my labour so far, I am doing more little models and I have also started making a new range of dolls (yes this is all in conjunction with the thousands of other projects that I have going at the moment and have blogged about in the last few months !)

I love Graffiti and Manga style art so I have spent a weekend designing a doll with lots of re-drawn templates and patterns and little sketch dolls in different shapes and sizes lying around till I got the shape I wanted, I did the eyes in a manga style to add a little character to them and I have so much more stuff designed on this basis that will have to be blogged about another day when I have pictures of it too.

As you can see I still have a few half naked little dolls which will have a more colourful makeover so look out for that !
And i have added a couple of pics of my desk with its work in progresses !
I love it when I get comments so please leave one even if it's just to say Hi, just so I know I am not just talking to myself or Chinamommy :) xx
