Personalised Bracelet BEFORE and AFTER
I have received a special request from a customer who purchased one of my Silver washer bracelets some time last year.
The lady was wandering if I could replace the black cotton cord on this bracelet.
She said her partner absolutely loved the bracelet and had hardly taken it off since she gave it him.
I offered to replace the cord for free (I just charged a small fee for return postage) and asked her to post me the bracelet.
I didn't think that the bracelet I received would be in such a sad and tired looking state...See below for yourselves!
I knew I had to bring it back to life!
So I flattened the silver washer, gave it a really good polish and highlighted the stamped letters.
I then added a new cord and there it was! As good as new!
Have you purchased one of these washer bracelets from me? Is yours looking a bit tired?
Please contact me and I will see what I can do to bring it back to life!

Personalised bracelet with a 'Hidden message'
I get a lot of requests for stamping on both sides of a tag or a charm. Most of the time though, I have to say 'no' as normally the stamped letters tend to go through the metal quite deep and make an impression on the reverse side of the tag. It is possible on the thicker pieces but not so easy on the thinner ones.
On this occasion, my customer really liked the Aluminium tag bracelet and wanted another hidden message on the inner side. I was worried about the thickness of the tag but after a little persuasion I thought I would have a go.
I had to stamp one side then sand the back to make a smooth surface and then stamp the reverse and again sand the other side so that both sides were smooth and no stamping marks were showing.
It worked! I was surprised how well it worked and the finished bracelet looks lovely.
Hope you agree.

My recent purchase: Raggedy Jennie
You may remember reading on my Facebook page about a recent purchase that I was so excited about.
I received a Like on Facebook from a lovely lady from Milly and Me. When I checked her shop I instantly fell in love with one of her lovely handmade dolls.
After a few messages with Jo, I decided I must have one.
Although I really liked the Raggedy Annie, I thought it may be nice if I asked Jo to change her slightly so that she looked a bit like my 3 year old daughter. I thought she could have blond hair, blue eyes and dimples just like my Jennie and I wanted Jo to add a cream teddy bear who is Jennnie's favourite bear - she always takes her to bed with her (in fact she takes her everywhere!).
Jo was very helpful and offered to make 'raggedy jennie' and even offered to email me some progress photos.
I was even given the choice of hair (see photo below) and could choose the colour of her PJ's.
Jo emailed me a photo of 'Jennie' when she was finished to make sure I was happy with her and I loved her!
She arrived in the post this morning and she is sooo lovely.
My daughter and myself will treasure her forever.
If you would like one of those, please visit Milly and Me Facebook shop

Making Jewellery or Baking?
I thought I would have a break from jewellery making today and wanted to do some baking. I had a free Asda magazine which had some lovely cakes recipes in. My favourite was a recipe for Cherry bakewell slices.
The cake was quite easy to make and to my surprise, tasted absolutely delicious! If you don't have a copy of the March Asda magazine, let me know in the comments below and I will send you the recipe. I thoroughly recommend making this cake.
The next recipe on my 'to make' list is this lovely Banana and pecan cake from the same magazine.

Can you guess which one is mine?

PS: Yes, you guessed right, mine was the one on the right....

Charming Threads.
My mother in law was clearing her cupboards on the weekend and gave me some old cotton reels. Although I do some sewing every now and then, I'm not sure when I will get a chance to use all these threads. But I had to have them anyway as I think they are really charming and look quite vintage and make great photos. See for yourselves...

Latest commission: personalised gift for wedding guests
I was recently contacted by a bride to be who wanted me to create some personalised thread on Pandora style beads as a special gift for some of her closest wedding guests.
I have not made these beads before but had a go at making them and was very pleased with the result.
My customer ordered 6 beads with the following text on one end:
bride (with hearts symbols on each side of the word Bride)
bridesmaid (x2)
mum of groom
mum of bride
maid of hons
The other end of each bead had her wedding date stamped on (24.04.2012).
She chose amethyst colour glass beads.
I'm really pleased with the way these beads turned out, hope the bride to be likes them too (when they eventually reach Australia!).
