Resin rings/bagues résine

A quick hello during my break. We are clearing out the attic to transform it into my daughter Zoé's room and oh my good lord!!! It used to be the children playroom and frankly the last two years they really haven't been ther to play. They have outgrown the toys and it just became a junk room where everyone just "dumped" the stuff they didn't know what to do with! So we are now paying the price of this slack attitude and have spent the last two days clearing it out. I have tons of playmobils to sort out and sell on ebay and no energy or enclination at all... Still we are making good progress but it doesn't help that the kids break up in two weeks and that we are having guest then so all need to be finished!
Still in all this crazyness I managed to produce some rings and pendants for sale at a craft fair so I thought I would show them to you. This was my very first attempt at using resine so be kind....


I have already taken out two of the rings that I wear myself! Not good business practice I know but I just love the look of them. The photo does not do them justice.  Anyway I am off for more sorting so I may not be back for some time.....

Beyoncé look-alike!

Ok maybe if you squint slightly and inthe dark but eh I still think there is some kind or of resemblance... don't you? Meet Mittens our 5 years old cat and acting as her personal wig, my daughter Zoé! I just though I'd cheer you up with a giggle as it certainly had us in stiches!!

Magnolia card

Yet another birthday to accomodate at the last minute for one of my daughters' friends. I was also under instructions to make three bracelets to accompany the tee-shirt she bought her. All this yesterday 4 hours before the party! I had started the card the night before thank goodness but sometimes I think my children still believe I have a magic wand and can make anything happen!! Anyway here is the card:

June ATC

Here is my Atc for the june challenge at "les Ateliers du Scrap". Theme was red fruits so strawberries came to mind straight away being one of my favourites followed closely by raspberries... yum... my mouth is watering just thinking of them... Anyway here is my mini art...


The strawberries are hand drawed and cut out. I inked the edges for this aged look we are so fond of at the moment and added the letters around. The ribbon was free from a magasine and the paper was left over from my stash.



This is the one I received in exhange from Domino. Isn't it lovely?

Design Diary

My daughter's best friends birthday was a chance to create this little design diary. Her friend enjoys sketching clothes and accessories and I thought this way she could save her design with style! I really enjoyed creating this little book and I hope she'll love it too.
