Woohoo, my doll has arrived with Margy at Hmm Designs! I will blog her properly now. (Please note her name Meri - it's funny, I know she doesn't really fit with your style, but the name really seemed to suit her and once I thought of her as Ariel I just couldn't think of her as anything else!)

I have also blogged my watch - do go and admire, folks

As usual before a craft fair, I suddenly think 'Argh, must make more stuff!' so I have been making a few more gemstone bracelets - various stones & a multi strand necklace in gold/silver/clear.
My conservatory looks like a jewellery shop - I only hope I sell some. Fingers crossed the weather forecast stays good.

Miaou - Just for goodness sake don't ever do a MistyPeaks doll - I don't think she'd be suitable for children!!!
Whizz - Good look for the fair.

Have just had a massive flash of inspiration - must research . . . .

have just googled misty peaks and pmsl at the thought of a mistypeaks crocheted doll - hmm maybe not then!!!

wow Dior that's a lot of toggles!! are they fancy ones? d'ya wanna sell a few?!!

seriously though re: being tired have you had your iron levels checked? sometime ago i was soooooo tired i'd fall asleep watching tv every night my limbs felt really heavy and i had zero energy and it was due too
T M I alert - very heavy periods and i was aneamic so needed iron tablets.

i made a toadstool it's sooo cute - it was the trial run - which is good 'cause i wanna keep it!! Can't blog it as swapee might peek!!!

i'm a real bad influence popped to haberdashery to get floss and ds was excited over the button section!!!

Have blogged my swap doll now (the one I sent)!

Miaou · 29/05/2008 18:26

I have also made a toadstool! Pattern arrived for the ballgown I am making but it was the wrong one - now reordered but I doubt it will arrive until next Monday now. Time is ticking away, I've now lost about a third of the time I have to make it waiting for this pattern!

Anyway I digress - I have made a toadstool and it is lovely! A bit plain though. I will blog it at some point but have ideas for version two. I can see a field full springing up soon

Miaou · 29/05/2008 18:29

Re my doll swap doll - I added it to the MN crafters group but meant to add it to the doll swap one - but I think you need to do that NBG!Sorry.

meridian · 29/05/2008 19:28

Dior- I havne't ordered from china but have ordered some things from the US wholesale, so the beads were dirt cheap but the postage kills you... happy beading!

Evening all.

Some lovely stuff here, had a quick look, just now.

Dior and Whizzz, how do I contact you both, if I want to commission something? I know you're both really busy and there's no hurry but if you get a chance, I would really like a bracelet from each of you.

Done, you can delete now, thanks Dior.

The one I was thinking of was similiar to an earlish bracelet you did, (I'll have a flick through your blog), it was cream and black and had a very 1920s look to it. Have emailed you.

Oh that sounds tempting, a revamped bracelet, am intrigued by that. I quite like the element of surprise in that too, yes please.

Oh and I meant to say, when I answered to Whizzz yesterday, wasn't having a dig, I know exactly what you meant about the 12-15 pound thing, some craft fairs you just can't get people to appreciate the true value, but when I just read my post back, it looked a bit . Sorry, hope you didn't take it the wrong way.

Actually (flicks tab to have another look), I DO like the MPy type mingled one.
