Some more recycled jewellery

Next weekend I am going to a friend's wedding reception, and having already got the outfit I am going to wear (including some stunning shoes) I endeavoured to make this set of necklace, bracelet and clip-on earrings to match my shoes and to wear to the occasion!
The whole set was made using bits that I already had and beads from the bead set below that I chopped up from a £1 sale bargain and combined with the white beads!



In other news I started my new job this week so have been busy as heck with that! I think I'm going to love it but as it's shift work it's just fidning the time to fit in everything else that I want to do with my life!
Green Party bits are going fabulous.....Norwich North by-election next week and the press are backing Rupert Read to a lovely extent so very happy about that! Am also just waiting on our local councillor to get back to me about taking over the membership secretarial role so that will hopefully keep my mind busy....and of course don't forget Green Peace Fair on September 6th....all go for me atm then :)

Earrings as part of a set for Bev's Recycled Jewellery Challenge on CraftsBeautiful.com

Necklace and earrings as above photographed together as a set. (the whole set is to be sent to Bev to sell on to raise money for her church fund)

Mojoe disappearance...

...I am going to go SPARE soon!

With the lovely weather we have had recently, Mr Mojoe has obviously decided that now is the perfect time for him to take his summer holiday. I'm not sure whether this is because I am getting low on stash and therefore am worried about using it, therefore not making anything at all....I have no idea!

No jewellery

No cards

Nothing

I've sorted, shuffled, stacked, re-sorted, re-shuffled and re-stacked my craft stash time and time again but I just can't seem to get it together!

One of those times where I have loads of things that I'd like to make, but none of the enthusiasm to make it!! And I'm behind on my swaps as well! :(

Arghhhhhhhhh

*and breathe*

Am off to have a go and see what I can pull together, Mum's asked me to make her a pendant with some sea glass she found the other day so I'm going to give that a go while watching TV....I'll try update you with pictures of new makes as soon as Mr Mojoe returns.
