Brand new bottle Jewellery!

Well here is a purple set, braclet and earrings and a necklace!

I just can't believe how pretty these things are!

I think it's all over .... now for the next step!

Well I have been so totally inspired by using my recycling to create jewellery that I now look at everything in a different light! Well recycling wise that is!  I learnt this week also that I am not recycling (silly me!!) but I am actually Upcycling! well who would have guessed!
Anyway I hope you like my latest creation! This is made from plastic bottles.

I must admit this braclet turned out far better than I thought and is incredibly comfortable to wear.

Crafty Kids is now live!!!!

Well I have just started posting on my new blog just for kids and parents who want a few ideas of things to do over the holidays!

I would love to hear some of your ideas as well as pictures of things you have done so I can post them!

Happy crafting one and all!

recycling challenge! yes there are more!!!!!

Recycling challenge ~ yes even more!!!! I am becoming addicted I think!! I have made an orange/red one and a purple bracelet to add to my collection!!!! hopefully a green and blue one will follow later!!

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine, I fortell a further day of chaos for me!!!

Oh almost forgot, I made this the other evening too, green flowers.  There are earrings to match but apparently my upload option on here is feeling a little under the weather as it keeps rotating the pics! will try again later!  Unless of course you want to stand on your head to see them!!!

Bye for now!

Dear Miss Crafty!

Hi there Bloggers and my wonderful email supporters! I have recieved a couple of emails which are to be shared! so modesty in hand here is the first one!!! (or rather this is the last one I got! there is method in my madness honestly!)

Dear miss crafty
Your items are fantastic and so well made, did you know that your blogs always come thru at 3 30am! I usless fact but I thought most interesting.
keep up good crafting ideas! Jane

Dear Jane!
I would like to say I am up at 3.30 making all sorts of creations and posting them on blogger But ... I am fast asleep! I am far from creative if I get no sleep, infact I am extremily uncreative and zombie like! but I am incredibly glad the email subscription gadget works!!!!!
I am thrilled you love my makes! Thank you so much for your support!
Happy crafting! Jen xxx

The First email I got from the lovely Jane is something which has provoked a lot of thought! even as I have been pootling round the countryside today my inspiration has been whiring at a tremendous pace!  first off here is the email!!!!

Dear all things crafty
Please could you help me? I need some ideas for affordable crafting fun for two ten year old boys during the holidays. totally fab web site.
Thankyou
Now the answer!

Dear Jane

I have really been giving your question a lot of thought! Boys are such a hard one to think for on a creative front, I am lucky I just have one daughter, give her a glue stick, a bucket full of paper and embellishments and she will create a mess that will take a week to clean (unfortunatly very little works of art are created in this exercise!)

I have come to the conclusion that this blog  may not be enough for all the idea i have so i will start a new one! one designed just for occupying those kids! I will post ideas, photos and even a few videos for them to follow! I also thought a fun thing to add to this maybe to have some competitions or more importantly a gallery to show off their creations.  I will start posting as soon as I collect my guinea pig from school and make her make things for me to take photos of (who says child labour is wrong! lol)

Please keep sending me your questions and hope i can provide a little help.

Recycling challenge~ plastic bottle braclet!

Recycling Challenge ~  recycled plastic braclet! in PINK!!!!!

Yet another one, have def used up my one milk bottle now and had to move onto another one! am really pleased with the result.  all I need is a blue one and i think i will have one to go with most outfits! possibly! lol

recycling challenge! yet more!

Recycling challenge! another addition!

Well I thought I would have another go at the bottle braclet! I needed to perfect my bead making skills and actually found a really successful way to make a bead which looks even pretty much all the way round! I am so pleased with it! My plan was to make a pink and black one but the purple just lept into my hand so purple is what I did! I shall be off into town soon and shall test it out for compfort! I added a few extra charms onto this braclet to make it more exciting and varied!

Really must think about earring options I think!

Hope you like!
