Item of the Day - Squirrels

This sweet little squirrel is crocheted with love in light green yarn with a fabulous fun-fur tail - so soft and fluffy. He is suitable for all ages due to his safety eyes and washable nature.
What could be cuter to celebrate the end of Fall? He also makes an excellent stocking stuffer.
More colours will be added soon. Why not order one?

Item of the day - wire crochet Christmas ornaments

It's still early, I know. But since my last wire order arrived, I couldn't hold myself back. Christmas ornaments from crocheted copper wire in different colors and there are still so many more to try out!
And an extra bonus is that they can't break! ;-)

Item of the Day

Today's Item of the Day is a seasonal offering - "Fall Pumpkins" from the Sheriff's Daughter.

When I saw these sweet Czech glass pumpkin beads, I knew I had to have them. They're such fun.

Adding a Czech glass leaf, I hung them on a pair of large, antiqued brass hoops to make a cute pair of Autumn earrings. Enjoy!

(P.S. My "significant other" was cross when he saw I'd called them "Fall" pumpkins - they should, of course, be "Autumn" as we're in Europe.)

Item of the Day-Autumn Russet

Visit our studios

I've seen some lovely crocheted bags and wanted to try one for myself.  I've lined the bag to give it more structure and strength and the colours are perfect for the autumn

 Can be held in the hand or over the shoulder. It has a circular bottom and a scalloped decorative finish around the top edge

Item of the day - Fire and ashes

"Fire and ashes" is what I called this necklace crocheted from red coated copper wire and hematite beads. The name suggested itself looking at the contrast between the bright red of the wire and the grey shimmer of the hematite.
The necklace is 40 cm long and thus lies close around your neck, but is no choker.

Item of the Day: Swosch! lampwork bead

It took quite a while to make this bead.Then swirly lines are made from a lovely silver glass that shifts nicely in different blues. The surface is decorated with goldstone stringer.
The bead is 27 mm long.

Item of the day - Pale blue flower earrings

Today's item is these pale blue and amber flower earrings by Kitty Ballistic.



The Czech glass flowers are a lovely mix of powder blue and amber, and at the centre of each flower is a small amber Swarovski crystal. The flowers hang from sterling silver ear wires.

I love these beads so much that I bought them in lots of different colours. I have some mint green ones that I wear quite a lot, and I have some other colours ready to be made into earrings.

Item of the Day

Today's item is "Glacial" - a necklace from The Sheriff's Daughter.

The aquamarine nuggets in this necklace are a beautiful shade of icy blue. As a child, I was lucky enough to have a summer holiday in Norway and we visited a glacier. As we squeezed through a huge crack at the end of the glacier, you could look right into the ice and it was just this shade of blue...or that is how I remember it anyway.


The necklace is designed to be worn with the heart toggle clasp at the front, but you could wear it at the back where, if you have long hair like me, it could be our little secret...

Item of the day - Green Fairy necklace

This necklace is made from dark green copper wire, faceted green glass crystals and dark green satin ribbon.
The wire has been spool knit with the crystals worked right in while the ribbon is just running inside. As the ribbon has not been added later, it got twisted during the crafting which gives a nice touch.
There is no clasp, the necklace is tied with the ribbon ends which means you can wear the bow in the back or in front for that little extra.

Item of the Day - Cross Stitch Christmas Card

Is it a little early for Christmas? I don't think it's ever too early to get organised.

This 15cm x20cm Card features a character from the popular Christmas song "the 12 Days of Christmas" The Partridge in a pear tree is hand-sewn cross stitch on 14 count aida fabric inserted into white heavy card stock. It has several gold-coloured festive acid-free stickers for decoration. The inside is blank for your own greeting and, of course, it comes with a plain white envelope for posting.

I will be adding more of these over the next few weeks - don't miss out.

Item of the day - Evil lemon felt plush

Today's Item of the Day is Sir Everard E. Vill-L'mone, made by Kitty Ballistic.



He is the sort of lemon that will tie a damson to a train track and then run off, laughing evilly, as the approach of the 4.12 express can be heard in the distance. He refuses to help people with bad colds or scurvy, and he doesnt care if your gin and tonic has ice but no slice. He is the most evil of the citrus fruits (with the possible exception of the Malevolent Mandarin).

Item of the Day

I called these earrings Pots of Honey because the color of the lampwork beads is such a warm golden honey shade which is further enhanced by the soft glow of the vermeil spacer beads, beadcaps and earwires.

Item of the day: Botswana Agate earrings

Today's item of the day comes from Kitty Ballistic - a pair of earrings featuring beautiful Botswana Agate beads.



When I saw these beautiful agate coin beads, I had to buy them. They have a lovely milky sheen to them, and the banding is particularly attractive, although as you will see in the photo, the beads are not identical. I still think they work as a pair though, and the simple sterling silver earwires don't draw attention away from the agate banding.

Item of the Day

Today's item of the day comes from The Sheriffs Daughter - a set of charms called "Handful of Eyes", in joyful anticipation of Halloween.


The seven charms in the set are made with great lampwork eyeball beads (Thank you, Hoss of Beads) - each is unique and has two eyes (so you can see trouble coming from two directions at once?) - with silver beads and Swarovski crystals. These could be added to earrings, strung on a chain or thong (singly or in a bunch) or made into a cell phone charm, or given to your favourite spooky chums...

Item of the day - olive wood disk pendant

A beautifully patterned olive wood disk has been crocheted into a bezel of metallic brown shimmering copper wire with black beads added to form this unusal pendant that has an old-fashioned look to me.
A big and bold piece that is sure to catch attention.
