I just succesfully made some swarovski butterfly earrings for a friend.
I even managed to do some loops that were smaller than a hula hoop!!

Isnt it a nice feeling to make something succesfully!!!
It rarely happens for me.

Fank oo vewy much.
I put them on 2 of those long metal findings on 2 different levels for a bit of a contrast.
They slide up and down, I thought about putting a crimp bead on but I dont think it would look right.Il let gravity do its thing.

Can we see pics of the bunny bags!!Please please please, they sound gorgeous.

I made 5 bridesmaids outfits a couple of years ago and made very simple bags to go with them(as Ive found little girls love to put things in them, like their mummys do)Dont think Id want to even attampt a bunny bag.

Luckilly I took photo's for my records!

They are called 'Skipping bunny bags' and the pouch on the bunny's tummy is where the goodies go. They are approx 12" from tip to toe.

Just out of curiosity, I charged £5 for each bunny. Do you think that is ok or over the top??

How's about a photo of your ear rings??

They are gorgeous! I would definately pay £5 - or more.

I too had a productive weekend (not including the fair). I made a lovely charm bracelet which I have called "fairy dust" - I am very pleased!

You should charge more than £5 with the amount of work youve put into them, they are gorgeous.Are you going to add them to your site range?
Isnt felt getting expensive now?Do you buy the squares or in lengths off a roll?

Wish I could post a pic of my earrings but Im not that modern.

Thank you for the nice feedback.

I'm not adding them to the site. Reason being that the things I make are classed as decorations. If I say they are toys or for children in any way there are all sorts of standards and regulations that have to be passed on each product and I dont want to go there! Couldnt sell them as any thing other than kids bags I dont think.

Seahorse do you have a digital camera?

Sorry forgot to say. I buy my felt my the metre. It is expensive stuff but I get a generous trade/ex staff discount from a place I used to work at

Was just thinking that if you took a photo of your ear rings and e-mailed it to me (or got your dad to) then I could post it for you.

Wouldnt be a problem.
