Random Witterings!

I like making the odd bit of jewellery, mainly when I come across something I would like to use and inspiration strikes.  I also love making chains.  I could sit for hours (and often do) linking rings together into a kind of chain-mail style chain.  I use a 2-in-1 or a 4-in-1 pattern depending on how wide I want it to be.

Last time I went over to Hobbycraft I found these lovely leaf shaped beads in a variety of colours.  I found the autumnal colour ones the most attractive and decided to make myself a set of earrings, necklace and bracelet.  These are the results!

I finally got the rug properly finished, I used an iron on binding tape for the edges on the underside which worked really well.  Both cats have had a go on it and Bubbles thinks it’s her new love rug (she stands and kneads on it for ages while purring her head off).  Really pleased with the finished result and it’s great seeing it down in front of the fire and part of the room
