Fuchsia Jewellery..........Not a strange lampshade


Good morning folks. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Thank you for your visits and the comments on my sympathy card. We all know how difficult they are to make but for a fella in his 80's it was a definite less is more.

After extra days at work last week, I'm in today and tomorrow and then I have a few days off to use up some leave. I was hoping to do a bit of crafting but a few appointments have cropped up so I shall have to play things by ear........best laid plans and all that lol!!!

Now, I know that there is a lampshade in today's snap but I found it quite an effective way of displaying my necklace to photograph it...........you're all probably thinking "the girls taken a knock on the head" lol!!!
The beads were one of my presents from Nesta for Christmas. When we went to the NEC in November, The Spellbound Bead Company had some lovely sets on display and I thought this may be a nice one to make for Summer (one can but hope that we get one lol!!!) so Nesta kindly got me the gear.


It was fun to make and inspired me to do another few bits of jewellery. Nesta and I also had a trip out to Lichfield (its only about 40 mins drive) to Spellbound's shop last month so I could buy some more bits so there will be more to come in the jewellery line, if that's ok?


I'm just waiting for the nice weather so that I can wear it as I'd feel a bit of a noodle wearing a fuchsia necklace in Winter lol!!!


Please excuse the picture quality of this shot as it was taken on my phone, through our bedroom window (not at its cleanest on the outside at the moment) and before my first steadying cup of coffee, at sunrise. We are lucky to have a south facing rear (as opposed to my southward heading rear lol!!!) so this was the view to the east. We also get to see some cracking sunsets too. Our Pamellia has been showing some beautiful ones on her blog so I could'nt resist sharing this.

Have a great Sunday and hope a nice week lays ahead of you all.

Ps.........I hate to shatter illusions but no, Mr D did not have a romantic meal prepared for me upon my return from work last Sunday (Valentine's Day). I did have to cook myself but at least that way, we had something edible lol!!! 
I've given up trying to teach him how to cook................its like this pearl of wisdom from Judge Judy.............
"Don't try teaching a pig to sing. It doesn't work and only annoys the pig"
I may just get a stamp set made with that one lol!!! (Christine would buy it as she is the Quote Queen lol!!!)

  5. Yes Ang, I would definitely buy your pig quote!! Now we haven't had pigs in the garden or field yet buu-ut........we had a flock of sheep last week!! Not from next door this time but the farm across the lane. I was thinking if they stayed long enough it might eliminate the need to cut the grass but I was a bit concerned they might get into the garden area so I rang the farmer and got them shifted. It all happens here kiddo!

    Anyway, now to get down to the business of your decorated lamp shade. (Sorry, couldn't resist, although it is actually a clever way to display the jewellery.) It is simply stunning!! Absolutely fabulous! I think you've got the message - I kinda like it! Hugs Christine x

  8. Hi Ang. You clever girl, what a beautiful necklace and earring set youve made. You always sound so busy, I dont know how you have the time.
    Wonderful sunrise.
    I just love Judge Judy and that quote is one of her best. Perhaps you could get John to include it on his next stamp set?
    Enjoy your few days off.
    Love Val in Spain x

  10. Wow wow wow to the necklace and earrings! These might be my favourite to date, just love the rich purples!! Wow wow wow to the sunset picture, holy moses, I've not seen one quite like this. So many colours!! I'm hoping as the sun moves to the north end of the sky that I will eventually be able to get better shots! Sure glad you shared Ang! hugs :)

  11. Hi Ang just love you jewellery though why wait to wear it? That's the same as only having clothes for best - only they never come out of the wardrobe!! Mind you perhaps a range of jewelled lampshades for the boudoir could be a bestseller. Love your photo too so many colours in it. Have a good week - perhaps teach Mr D how to buy a ready meal and ping it? Love from Jackie xx

  23. Hello Ang,
    I can't believe I didn't comment when I looked in on Sunday. The fuschia jewellery is beautiful, and what a brilliant way to display it on the lampshade.
    I've never tried jewellery making, and I feel that I'm a bit over the hill to start something else, but this is just gorgeous. I'll never use all the stuff I've got before I pop my clogs as it is!!!!
