Breaking Bad…

OK I have finished watching Breaking Bad it has taken me two- three weeks to watch all five series, if I didn’t have children it would of been a one week, I can now get on with my life! talk about consume you, I loved Bryan Cranston as Hal in Malcom in the Middle,  (I know he  has been in a loads of shows, but most haven’t been shown here in the UK)now I love him as Walter.. although sometimes you do wanna strangle him! The things he put poor Jesse, Aaron Paul, (who I also have a soft spot for) through 🙂

I have wanted a PorkPie hat for about 6yrs, now after watching Breaking Bad I realllly reallly really really want one http://www.goorin.com/heisenberg-hat mmm a valentines pressie for me I think 😉

Now back to the crafty stuff!!

Zentangles…

Evening all 🙂 A friend was telling me about Zentangles which I had never heard of so after watching a load on YouTube I attempted my own!..I would love to put up some Zentangle links, but I’m using my phone for this post and its a bit too much hassle opening and closing cut n pasting etc, so you can go and check them out some are quite special 🙂 ..Here is my two attempts, you can tell where I’ve made mistakes on the second one as the corner is a black blob! 😀

😀 😀

First ring finished…

This is the first of a pair, my partner  and I have been together for 20yrs, we ‘re not married and have no plans for a wedding anytime soon but I am making us matching rings here’s a couple of pics 🙂

Well it was my Jewellery class tonight, here is the results;

A Turquoise and silver twist bracelet for a friends mother

A Citrine & Silver Pendant for a special friendHope she doesn’t take a peek here!

Over the last three weeks I have been lucky enough to see three lovely sunsets, which again my camera just cannot do justice to mother nature.

just can’t capture the feeling

& I have already posted this one but why not again 🙂

So till next week :)..I might surprise and post  before!

Something else I’ve been up to…

Some of you may know that my little lady started her own blog…

http://chickenspics.wordpress.com/ her book review section seems to be taking over, and I’ve been helping her with that, although she doesn’t really need my help now.

Also I have started another blog..you know cause I have so much time to blog here!.. but this new blog will be about the home education group I run, with other mums, you can see it here, http://delcef.wordpress.com/

In theory I shall post on Delcef every Tuesday evening, and  here Wednesday/Thursday after my Jewellery class.

but…

Toffeeee

I love LOVE toffee, especially teeth breaking toffee, almost as much as I love fireworks:) I make it throughout the year, little lady likes it with peppermint. But tonight I just made my first proper toffee apple:D and it was yummmmmmmmy & still warm as we couldn’t wait for it to cool down… & who knew it had vinegar in it.. Other than BBC Good Food site where I got the recipe 😉 I truly will have no teeth left soon:) x
Little Lady & I are now using skewered cores as microphones… 😀 x

Not been too crafty lately but..

Tonight I started my first class in Jewellery design at my local adult education centre 😀

The tutor is a lovely German lady… http://www.oliviaschlevogt.com

and she got me working on a piece of square copper, this is what happened..

sawed a circle…which left me with lovely glittery hands 🙂

hammered it to make a dome

drilled it , drew on it and sawed it some more 🙂

Polished it to revel my wonderful errr sawing skills, top marks for wonkyness, still not bad for a beginner:)

Not quite here yet..but working on it!

Now I need a workspace

although mine will never be this clean and tidy!

All pics not my copper are found on the dreaded but oh so loved pinterest…

Sunny Saturday in October…

We visited some of  my family that we haven’t seen in four years over the weekend, It rain all the way there, it rained all the way back but for a good few hours in between we had a glorious day and if there is one thing I LOVE, it is being on the beach.  I could of stayed all day but little lady, after thoroughly enjoying getting soaked started to get cold and with not much in the way of extra clothes, thankfully her coat was long,  we headed back…
