When I knew I was going to meet up with Sue J and Maureen, I wanted to take a present for them that was going to be lightweight and portable - especially as I knew Maureen would be flying back to Canada with heavier suitcases than she arrived with - ROFL! - you just can't keep this lovely lady away from the Craft Shops!!!
Well, here they are for you to check over, Sue J said she wouldn't be able to use hers and would just look at them - we are both out of the same peapod - lol - 'cos this is exactly what I would do. When Maureen went back to her relatives' home they all liked them and were wearing them as lapel pins!! Good idea methinks!
I also made two little boxes for them to be kept in.
I like these pins but have yet to make any for myself - that's me though! I do feel another play with my beads and jewellery findings creeping up on me!
That's all for now, I will catch up with you soon.
Big hugs to you all.

I am going to try to go to the Geek Squad next weekend and see it they can create a shortcut. Last time they said no but maybe there will be a different guy working!
We have been visiting family and had everyone for supper last night. Could hardly stay awake to eat it. teehee
DH has been working hard in the back garden and I pruned everything in the front on Saturday. Today is bank holiday weekend here. It is Labour day. There are huge sponsored picnics all across the Province...usually sponsored by various unions. We often go but not this year! Think I will take a nap instead!!!
Made one card since I got home...not hand coloured but another Christmas card finished so hey ho! Now to get it off the camera and onto my blog...oh my!
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteme wonderful blogging mate.
These are really superb pins. This can get very addictive making these gems. I made mine ages ago and put them out of sight and promptly forgot about them. lol. Thank you for the reminder.
Superb photography as usual Graham.
I am looking forward to making some Christmas cards now that I have got my sister's grandchildren orders out of the way. Few Six baby books,and six 8x8 boxed cards , now I can relax me thinks. Just hope no more get preggy. lol. As she has a lot of grandchildren all of that age.lol.
Have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L. Oh by the way I forgot to say I did make the butterfly. If you need to know how to make it it's on my blog last month.
This are awesome sweetie, really pretty. You clever thing. I can see why the girls loved them. I bet they just look at them and stroke them like I do with gorgeous papers that I buy. Lol!!!
