Stressy Stress Time!

2011-11-29T22:41:00.000Z

I'm not a fan of this time of year. I look at myself as the grinch of the family and maybe that's why i like the films so much? :D Between work starting to get busy and me not having much time to myself to get xmas shop done and wrapped i turn into a stressy mess!

Thank god I'm going to see Reckless Love tomorrow i hope it will cheer me right up :)

Excited!

2011-11-29T21:49:00.003Z

I adore Limecrime, so I'm excited to see 25% off items :D share, share!!!!

Etsy! Oh how you make me poor!

2011-08-26T22:56:00.001+01:00

As most of my followers know i started selling on etsy first before finding out about all the gorgeous items it has to offer, but now i am officially addicted!

Now that it's getting closer to winter i wanted to be prepared for it and get some nice things. The original scarf i had wanted was a little out of my price range, so i stopped myself from splurging on that one ha! Instead i got a purple circle/infinity scarf which i can't wait to get and i also had a custom hat made too which is something i never wear in winter, but hopefully this one will change my mind.This is the scarf & hat i purchased :D

I have actually tried to stop myself from browsing etsy as much because i see sooo much stuff that i just can't afford to buy and i really hate the ridiculous custom charges on items over £20 from american and non-eu countries :( I have however bought quite a few things in the last few months and i now have to say it's the new ebay for me but with better items :D

Anyone else have an etsy addiction?

Change of hair colour? Majicontrast?

2011-08-18T22:47:00.000+01:00

I've been dying my hair dark purple now for about 5 months and getting sort of bored with it. My hair is naturally dark brown and I haven't managed to lighten it much through drugstore box dye. In fact, the best one i tried was the last one about 3 weeks ago XXL Salon Style Dark Violet it was the most vibrant of all xxl ones i'd used, but has really damaged my hair badly at the ends :(

So, I am now getting the itch to dye my hair again and have been hearing good things about L'oreal Majicontrast. I'm really tempted to try the magenta red with a 20 vol rather than a 30 to see if i like the colour before taking the plunge but i do fear it'll be quite pink :/ Has anyone tried that or the red one?

Glamour Doll Eyes?

2011-08-17T22:12:00.000+01:00

Has anyone ever tried this brand? I'm really tempted to get a haul of stuff! I love the choice of sample sizes as it saves wasting product and the glitter eye lights look gorgeous! I need no more make up and yet just can't help myself! Also if that wasn't enough Shipping is free for all samples and orders of $30.00 or more (YES, even on International orders)! :D

It's been a long break :)

2011-08-09T23:43:00.001+01:00

I have been away a while I know! I've been so busy with work and taking a break on the jewellery front because i have no space to do it at the moment, but i have started doing some other things creative wise which i hope to show off soon. :D

I also thought it was time for a little blog makeover x

Long Time, No See

2010-05-15T12:29:00.000+01:00

I know I haven't been here in a while. I took another break from crafting as I just don't have the time and space at the minute. I create better when I'm alone, have a day off work and the house is quiet, but lately that hasn't happened so I'm a little behind on things.

I noticed a lot of my traffic has been people looking for jewellery photoshop brushes, So I thought I'd update my list of sites and do a little searching for actual Jewellery brushes. Enjoy!

Alice In Wonderland Jewellery - Items coming soon!

2010-03-23T22:18:00.003Z

These are a few of the necklaces I've made in the last week, I will be putting them on my etsy store in the next few days. I still haven't made myself a light box so the pictures don't do the items justice.

Down the rabbit hole...

2010-03-06T22:43:00.000Z

I have had a big break from crafting over the festive period and now i'm starting to get back on track and get back into the swing of things. I have been receiving lots of lovely things in the mail to start new projects with and have already started on a couple of things which i hope to post pictures on here in the next few days.

I also have to mention i went to see the new Alice In Wonderland movie and i thought it was fantastic! I think although another remake this has been Tim Burton's best film in years! I love creating Alice related items so it has spurred me on to make more things like that :)

Featured Etsy Store & Blog - BellaLili

2010-02-04T22:26:00.015Z

I would like to share with you a store I found when looking for skull related items on Etsy. BellaLili's items made my jaw drop! Granted it might not be to every one's taste but it was exactly the kind of items I'd been looking for and had been for a long time! I've recently just purchased a ring from her and the quality is fantastic so I had to share...

BellaLili describes her designs as "Victorian Couture. Some are more Avant Garde and Risque. Others are more whimsical and Romantic. The common thread in all my jewelry is Victorian Elegance."

Her items come packaged to perfection, Shipping is included in the sales price for all items and she even has a 2yr warranty for all items! Now that's what I call customer service!

You can check out her Blog http://bellalilijewelry.blogspot.com/
and her Etsy Store http://bellalili.etsy.com/

I hope everyone had a great Xmas & New year, I can't believe it's now the 8th of January! It's just flying by!.

The weather has been mighty cold here (around -8 today) The snow has lay now for a good few days and shows no signs of melting any

I haven't crafted much due to the weather making me just want to curl up with a hot water bottle but I shall do soon. Here's a pic I took on my way to work, makes me wish it was like this all the time :)

Happy Halloween!!!

2009-10-30T21:49:00.002Z

Happy Halloween!!!

I should be excited that it's Halloween tomorrow but I'm not doing anything and we don't have many kids round here who trick-or-treat so it'll be just another day for me. :(

I am excited for the New Moon movie though if you couldn't tell with the countdown on the left ;) I don't think i will be going to see it on release day though, I think it would be pandemonium!.

I haven't been creating much this week, I did however D-I-Y cut two tshirts, I meant to take pictures to post. I've never really done anything like this before but I'm quite impressed with both of them and they required no sewing.

The look of packaging?

2009-10-22T22:49:00.005+01:00

I've just been reading through an Etsy topic on Creative Packaging.
http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6322096&page=8

I wanted to get views on what you all like? Do you like simple more eco-friendly or expensive looking?

I package my items pretty simple I wrap items in colored tissue, Fix with ribbon or stickers then pop in a organza bag with a business card inside. I would love to make my packaging a little more professional but I don't really know if it's worth spending a lot of money on supplies that are going to be binned without being looked at.

I like to keep my prices fair and do not want to increase them because of adding fancy packaging.
