I missed my self imposed deadline of Wednesday, so here I am on a Friday instead. I'm also adding a little something to the shop. No sales yet, but we live in hope. We're also working flat out for our very first fair at Masson Mills in a week's time. Here's a pic. of the latest offering.miss elainiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17752112708196173451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747254039360697468.post-81973114094057824652011-04-03T12:48:00.000-07:002011-04-03T12:48:05.378-07:00Right, so my plan to list an item on Folksy and write a blog post every Friday lasted all of, hmm, one week, before falling 2 days off schedule. Oops. It could be worse though<br />
In my (rather shaky) defense, I've been working hard at completing my wedding sample book (done, ish, still waiting on a few more extravagent designs from my mother as I'm seemingly unable to add bells and whistles to my cards in quite the same way!) and then got distracted by other things, as you do.<br />
<br />
Anyway, after a lovely drive up into Derbyshire today, I've eventually made it to blogging. But, as you may have noticed, without huge amounts to say, so I'll put up a pretty picture of something I made instead.<br />
<br />
Ready? Here goes...<br />

She has a buisness hiring out vintage china, so she's always on the lookout for goodies to replenish her stock. My haul included a quirky glass pouring flask straight out of a mad Professer's lab and some fussy flower bedecked vase thingys which I have plans for..... On the making front, I've uploaded a paper bead cuff to the shop(photo below) which has strips of vintage poetry decorating it. I rather fancy making a collar to match.miss elainiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17752112708196173451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747254039360697468.post-62692976128013247712011-03-25T10:42:00.001-07:002011-03-25T10:42:22.968-07:00Hello!Hello, just a little introduction to the junior author of this humble blog. Predominately, I've been working on making jewellery for the past couple of years, mostly using chunky embroidery on metal and piercing techniques (when I get around to it photos will make an appearance, promise!) although having a bit of a play at decorating also happened on a regular basis, a la, today's photos.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Most recently, however, I'm taking a bit of a venture into wedding stationery- something I've been thinking about for a while, but have only just got around to. Currently, I'm working on pulling together a book of samples and trying to work out some form of plan for myself! </div><div><br />

Inspired by Bev Rochester's blog, 'All the Things I Love', I had a go at some cutesy things, and I'm quite pleased with the results. Here's my favourite. I used 'Joy' from Sugar Nellie, coloured with Promarkers and decorated with some flowers I made myself from some rather tatty paper ones recoloured with mica powders and severely reworked.We've spent the day listing things in our Folksy shop- scary!! find us here <a href="http://www.folksy.com/shops/MissElainie">http://www.folksy.com/shops/MissElainie</a>miss elainiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17752112708196173451noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747254039360697468.post-50893750661977267982011-03-18T08:19:00.000-07:002011-03-18T08:19:12.025-07:00happy friday!Welcome to Miss Elainie's blog.
