musically: a surprisingly busy February

I've been a little quiet recently (I've never been the best at blogging regularly, lol!) but mostly because I've been rushing around making Ducking Fabulous things :) I love it when my creations go to good homes, and the most recent ones definitely have :) I was expecting February to be really quiet but it's been wonderfully and surprisingly busy!

My latest commission is this one, I'm sure the customer in question won't mind me posting before she gets it!

The musical notes are sterling silver, and the commission was for me to keep it simple (simples!!) but make it pretty, so I chose to incorporate some clear quartz chips with wrapped loops, which added interest and sparkle, but will also go with everything! I like the way this particular set of charms hang together, almost as though they're on a sheet of music!

Have been playing with crochet flowers, I still can't make them myself but Gran's been inventing new designs, so hopefully there will be some in the shops soon! The ones I make keep selling before I get anywhere near uploading them to Folksy, which is rather lovely :) And one or two will be presents, squee! 

Spent yesterday in Cambridge with two wonderful friends, it was one of the nicest Valentine's days ever! I'd love to have a stall at the craft market there one day, it's so inspiring wandering around and seeing everything handmade. Including the cakes - I wonder if you can ask to be situated next to the cake stall?!

Suppose I'd better go and do some work at the day job now - more soon!
