Hope everyone's having a good week and enjoying this lovely weather! It was glorious here in Warwickshire yesterday and looks like being the same again today - despite the weather forecast they've just given out which was rain later (really hope not!). Can't believe that we are now in May - lets hope we do have this heatwave that they recently forecast for this month!
Well, it's been a really busy few days since our last post, still busy knitting for our adorable Lilly. Have now managed to finish the various parts of the cardigan I've been knitting in the Sirdar Snuggly Snowdrop, so all I have to do now is put it together and pick up the stitches along the front edges to do the ribbing.... Hmmm still not that impressed but did run the pattern by my lovely friend Mrs Woodhouse the other night just in case I was reading it wrong but apparently not (which is always good to know!).
We've also been out and about car hunting for my daughter so that's taken up time. We both test drove a really nice Polo from a garage in a nearby village but she's still not sure, so not wanting to make an expensive mistake with her first car, it looks like the car hunt goes on!
Last Saturday saw us pop down to Brackley Rocks to restock the shop with our gorgeous Gemstone Jewellery - photo's in next blog! Dianne who runs the shop, is always so supportive and complimentary about our jewellery which is just lovely.
I'm going to share here the photo's of the recent bespoke order we made which was for one Gemstone Bracelet (which will be going home to Australia - yippee our first international order!) and two Gemstone Bookmarks. I shared the photos of the Gemstone beads I'd ordered in for these orders in my previous blog, so thought you'd like to see the finished items!
When we are commissioned to make a special bespoke order, we often end up making two to give our customers a choice! This is the 2nd Gemstone Bracelet we made which has some gorgeous Lapis Luzuli beads which we teamed up with some stunning Freshwater Pearls. Note the beautiful Sterling Silver flower toggle which was made in the Jewellery Qtr here in Birmingham!
with love from us here at Fat Fairy Jewellery
