Crackers!!!!!!

I have spent alot of time making and demoing various Christmas items one of these is my posh crackers.

They are made from 300 gsm card so not for "pulling" but for putting small gifts in or for decoration.

At the Bead Boutique

Yesterday I spent a lovely morning at the Bead Boutique in Long Melford and made a necklace and bracelet.  The technique is calling Viking Knitting, and basically for those of you as old as me it is a Knitting Nancy but larger and you use wire and beads.  Very pleased with my results. But the main reason for wanting to learn this technique was to make Christmas decorations, so here are the results. Also made on in gold but not photoed yet.  Hope to get some more done today.  And finally my apologies for being missing for so long excuses to follow!!!!!!

A Card for Someone special
