Been busy & quite productive over the last few days. Finished a couple of products that have been in the making a while, & made a few new ones.

Well I undid all that knitting yesterday & restarted with bigger needles....another mistake!!!
So at some point today I will try again & am determined to get it right.

Had a very frustrating day yesterday!!! Finished knitting the 4th panel of a bag, stitched them together & it just doesn't look right!!! Really annoyed with myself, so now what do I do? Oh well just look's like I will have to undo it all & start again!!!

Posting a photo of  a necklace & bracelet that I have reinvented. Both are made from old bits & pieces that I have had hanging around.

Acrylic pendant with watch pieces, lace & chain, threaded onto a chiffon ribbon.

The bracelet is covered in velvet & decorated with genuine Swarovski crystals

Well I suppose today is back to normal!! No more procrastinating on the sofa, fiddling with pieces of fabric & cord, today I have to get back into the routine of housework....ugh!!!... & other wifely duties around the house.
But I do have some new ideas, so I will still be creative....hopefully!!!
