I seem to be acquiring a yarn habit. To help finance it, I'm trying to shift some more of my handmade ceramic pendants - check out this blog post for details of a Valentine's special offer. Thanking you :)

I updated my blog - new bead necklace making, knitting and future projects. Am debating what to do with it - give it a make over and post multiple crafts despite the pottery-specific name, or just start a new one.

My ceramics stock page is now up to date

I'm quite chuffed, I have two parcels to take to the post office this afternoon and quite a bit of other interest, and my blog has had more hits today than ever before (even if most of them are stylishly_yours peeps looking at white_hart's bead necklace ( Read more... )
