Did I Really Crochet All That?

This is about 9 feet of crochet wire spirals, threaded with shells, pebbles, seaglass, beads, various flotsam and jetsam.  Happily it is in 6 pieces so was not to hard to handle while making.  It's going off to America to embellish a large framed mirror - hopefully I will eventually have photos of the finished piece to see where all my hard work went!

Slowly Getting My Life Back........

The Christmas break seemed to go on for an eternity this year and whilst it was fun at the time, I'm very glad to see the back of it.  What with one thing and another, there has been very little time for crafting and even less for painting and I am starting to get severe withdrawal symptoms.

I have been working with wire, beads and shells for the first time in ages though.  I have an interesting commission to make about 8 feet all together of this........

...to be used decoratively on a large mirror.  So I am crocheting 18 inch strands...one down, five to go! 

Mr. Bulldog (or whatever he is) now has a comfy bed and a little knit jumper....I think he might get a toy and a bowl too before being put up for adoption! 

Now that Christmas has been cleared out of my house, all visitors gone and sanity restored, perhaps this weekend I can get the paints out as well - keep your fingers crossed for me!
