I wish I was a punk rocker
 with flowers in my hair




Beautiful sunny day again today so I thought I would use the chance to get outside and take some photos of the latest necklaces and hair accessories that I've made. It so lovely out, I'm definatley not wishing the weather away but it was unbelievably hard to get decent photos of the headbands! The sun shone off everything making me look like I was wearing a shiny reflector headband in the shape of a flower instead of the pretty fabric that was on it. So if I haven't modelled some of them and they are just hanging off branches in my garden, it wasn't because I couldn't be bothered it was just they didn't want to photograph on me :) Anyway enough rambling.



Green sequined flapper style headband. I photographed this one previously but not on me so I thought I would show you what it looks like on.



Flower headband. 
This didn't take long to make at all but I really like it (though I say it myself)
I like big statement accessories the bigger the better :)



I don't wish to sound arrogant but I bloody  LOVE this necklace. (ahem)
Its actually goes with so many outfits for nights out  so I tend to wear it quite a lot :)






Pale green and cream flower necklace. I like the colours on this one as it pretty and girly
and I like pretty  things I'm like a little magpie




Flower headband
(I really need to come with some names these aren't very imaginative)
I really like this headband I think its my favourite one I have made. I didn't know weather or not to include the last photo as yeah, its rubbish but I wanted to show people what it looks like in. So you kind of get the gist just about lol. You can pull the headband to the side more and wear them lower on the head they don't have to sit as high as I had them






This one I've photographed before but I've added some material
to the sides as I thought it looked a bit plain




Vintage flower & button headband. I love buttons :)





I couldn't resist taking a few pictures of the tree in our garden.
Everything is so much prettier in the spring/summer

I would like to sell these one day either through an etsy shop
or at craft fairs etc. If you have the time I would love to know what you think
:)

love and kisses

Lets paint the town floral


I love adding to my jewellery collection, I could do it daily, perhaps hourly if only my bank balance would allow it :) Sadly it does not. Lately I've started to make some more of my own jewellery as a way of trying to possibly counteract the amount of money I spend on buying it but it hasn't really worked. I love making my own things, but I still can't resist buying bits in the shops either. I think I will just have to be written off as a hopeless addict

This was the first flower necklace that I made
I love the colours , its a perfect summery necklace to wear with shorts
in the summer



*Uhhhh...bad photo of me! please excuse me in the picture, I hate having my picture taken but this was the one that showed the necklace the best. Sigh. Just ignore the girl and look at the necklace :)*
I just finished this necklace last week. It took blody AGES to make all the little flowers but
it was worth it in the end. I love the colours in it and it goes quite well with most of my wardrobe so thats a plus :)


I made this one back in the summer :) I love the blue and cream fabric and the little hearts in the middle of the flowers. This one I attached to a silver chain that I wasn't using.







Little accessorise style purse I made back in the summer. I love accessrize purses they are all so pretty and sweet, but I can't justify buying heaps of them as I would no doubt forget to use some. This was kind of like a trial and error type purse, I wasnt sure how it would turn out, but I do actually really like it for a first attempt. Just the right size for putting my bank card, lip gloss and some loose change in for summery evenings in a pub garden :)

I love this headband because I love the colours and the shape to it :)





 I love all the floral headbands that are around at the moment. I would love to wear them but I always feel a bit wierd with headbands in my hair I'm not entirely sure they suit me :|  This is my little sister  modeling it for me. She was really patient bless her as it was absolutley freezing outside and as you can see shes just wearing a t-shirt. Thanks megs :)

Fabric flower bracelet that I made in uni. I don't really wear this I just keep it on my
dressing table to look pretty :)
One of the flower necklaces I made for uni

I would love to have this as a full time job :) I think I would have died and gone to heaven; working with pretty sparkly things for a living :D
love and kisses
