My babies in the snow

We had sooo much snow this year, more than I've ever seen,
and the pussy cats were very intrigued.

I have a new etsy website for my jewellery pieces, and it's so exciting to get them on. However, I didn't think about how it's the most saturated category on Etsy, so I don't think many people have seen them yet.

I love mixing my jewellery techniques with textiles. So most of my pieces have some form of crochet in them, or applique. Mixing colours alongside textures is also important to me; for instance gemstone beads with woollen crochet circles, and woven cotton.

Get better at blogging

Looking at my posts from 2010, I've realised how bad I've been at regular blogging. It's something I really want to do, but that thing called 'life' does prevent it at times.

So the new years resolution is to try and get better at it.

I've just uploaded some images of work from last year, but this is my first real blog of 2010, and it's about the QUILTS exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London England. It runs from 20 March - 4 July 2010 and covers 1700 - 2010. I can't wait to get up and see it. Here is the link to the V and A website.
