SPRING Vivaldi (Happy Birthday)

As it is such a lovely spring day and as it is Vivaldi's birthday here is a perfect piece of music for today!

Decided that as the sky is nice and blue today, the sun is shining and the birds are singing, it would be nice to go on a blog crawl.
What's a blog crawl? I hear you ask.
Well, I don't know yet. I am making it up as I go along. We'll start at my blog dashboard (the bit behind the scenes where I can read a snippit of everyone I follow. I find someone who has recently posted something interesting. Now are you ready? Lets begin....

O yeh, I know where we'll go, we'll visit one of my favourite blogs: Crafter-holic. It's a fantastic blog and can have you caught there for hours as you read the posts and follow the links to some of the most amazing online craft tutorials. In recent days, there have been links to bag making, coaster making, crystal vases (made out of plastic bottles) and a load of other things too. The latest post features a wall clock made from globes.

Now for the next visit. I'll select one of the followers on crafterholic and we'll go for a visit....

Izabella of Blue fish handmade

Izabella is a fibre and crochet artist. Her latest blog post is devoted to the wonderful hand crochetedearrings. So many different styles but all with very fine crochet in a wonderful array of colours.
Her other recent post feature craft fairs, her work space and her other makes.

So now to find a follower to go and visit ....It's Willow Wood .... she has some stunning crochet items that she sells from an etsy store. Willow is a self confessed lover of trees. Her recent posts include details of a visit to scotland.

So now I think I'll just visit one more on this crawl and it's Sabrina from The little owl
Sabrina's blog is a riot of exciting posts including the burger and fries which are actually cupcakes. They look so real! She also has recent posts about nail varnish in what I can only discribe as a rather "interesting"shade of vintage green. There are also lots and lots of handmade treasures.

So here ends my blog crawl. Off to do some work now!

Day 54 ~ One A Day Challenge ~ Christening, First Communion or Confirmation gift

This bracelet has been designed as a Confirmation, Christening or first Communion gift. The size can be altered to suit the age of the recipient.
What initially looks like a random cluster of beads, holds a mystery secret. Each of the beads is a representation of something in the Apostles creed (which is shared by Protestant and Catholic's)

The bracelet comes with a card that contains the words and the secret meanings.
