I love hearts, as is evident from my shop listings! So how could I resist NoodleBubbles Valentines Heart Swap?! Obviously, as is tradition, I left my present to the absolute last minute but hopefully Natalie @ HarveyCraftyCards will have received it today or atleast by tomorrow and it’ll be worth the wait! and hopefully she doesn’t spy this entry first and ruin the surprise!
Handmade resin Heart Necklace, with faux pearls embedded inside. Hope she likes it!
. . .
I’ve already received my swap package and have been beaming all over the internet about it already :)
BlondeDesign makes the most amazing comic-y cushions: (M’kay, so they’re in the “Baby” shop, don’t judge me!)
So obviously, I was super delighted when I found out that’s who was making my Valentines Heart present – and here are the AMAZING things she made for me:
Couldn’t be more pleased! Black and red + Polkadots + SKULLS + something for my teapot = GRIN :)
Definitely one of my favourite Craft Swaps so far :)
. . .
FINALLY – A quick plug for my Folksy shop ( I know *yawn*) Keeping with the theme though, here are some of the heart shaped items in stock at the moment:
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend whether they be celebrating Valentines day or not.

SpoiltPig has just seen her first Christmas as a jewellery maker, seller type person/thing. I actually spent Christmassy time getting drunk in Glasgow and then fat in Bath but I think I’ve really learnt a lot about what to expect next year (vomitting).
Did a couple of Christmas markets in 2009 which was maybe a bit adventurous given my lack of enthusiasm for selling and my inexperience in jewellery retail land but anyway, put all of my energies into those (two were ace and two were a bust sales wise) and sort of completely forgot about the online shop :( I hopefully will remember not to make the same mistake again next year. Sales jumped the last week of November but then I didn’t add any new stock to Folksy and they sort of became non-existent after that, rubbishums.
Anyway! Winterval was great, family & friends wise. We ate, drank, talked a lot and were mostly merry. Half my friends aren’t half as happy as I’d like them to be but maybe things will look up soon, it’s a new year after all.
Thank you to all my lovely customers of 2009, my first year as a jewellery maker seller type person/thingum was fine and dandy and I shall keep on making things :)
and…to commemorate my epic christmas online/folksy fail I’m having a January sale!
Lots of little trinket necklaces from £5 and brand new stock that I forgot to add before the holidays, THREE whole pages! I’ll be breathing new life into my Folksy shop over the next month with whole ranges of new jewellery and accessories so keep your eyes peeled!

Look at my teeny tiny ladybirds!! Pretty much as simple as it gets but I love them.
They’re just little puffy stickers embedded inside clear resin…possibly slightly trickier than it looks as the puff made them float and turn – there was a lot of poking and three pours of resin in the end to get them fully encased.
I’m not 100% sure about adding them to the shop as they’re quite different from my usual jewellery bits n bobs. I was just trying out something new to make for friends children but these will be coming to Airyhall community fair with me in November, along with a whole bunch of little people jewellery full of toadstools, birdies, pandas and little deer.
So what’s the verdict? Who here has little people and will they like these?

I know I know, Halloween is more than a month away but like, I DON’T CARE. I love creepy jewellery and have been playing around with some spider silhouettes in resin. I’m very happy with the results :)
I’ve entered them both in Crafter..oo’s Halloween Challenge – if you like making things, if you like halloween then I suggest you join in :)
I may or may not get a chance to add the leopard print heart to the Folksy shop tonight, moving house tomorrow + playing catch up on college work = TIRED TIRED TIRED. The crystal clear Spider necklace has a busy schedule of travelling across the country and posing for a magazine article this week so won’t be appearing in the shop until mid-week next week at the earliest (it’s all very exciting but I don’t want to jinx it by blabbing about it!).
