now on etsy.com

howdy all,

so i have finally got a etsy.com store, some items are already listed i still have more to list including some brand new items. this shop can be found here

http://www.retrofaerie.etsy.com

i am offering free shipping on etsy, just use the code FREEEASTER11 , though it for one week only.

in other news i have made a new ring pull clutch bag this one is pink/black. one of my more unique styles of bag has been copied by someone, i suppose i should be flattered because they obviously thought the design was good.

i will update more when i have done more listings,

bye bye :)

bottle cap necklaces

howdy

i have made some new necklaces using bottle caps as the charms and filling them with resin,

i have made a set featuring monopoly money, they have came out a bit dark but not bad for my 1st try

i have also made some with kawaii characters which include snow white, a mermaid and Cinderella.

the Cinderella one has already been put on folksy for sale

http://www.retrofaerie.folksy.com/

more bottle cap jewellery will be made soon.

on another note i have had a request to make another ring pull bag from a friend of a friend so I'm also working on that though i don't have quite enough ring pulls yet.

that's all for now

bye bye!

making laurens bag

howdy all,

a friend of mine like my ring pull bags so i said i would make her one if she saved enough ring pulls. even thought its only a clutch bag its still the biggest bag i have made out of ring pulls. i made it over six days, which is a lot quicker that i thought it would be,

anywho here's how it went.....

DAY 1

cleaned and sorted all the ring pulls

DAY 2

started crocheting them together

DAY3

carried on from day 2

DAY 4

finished the sides and made a bottom

DAY 5

added the bottom and lined the bag

DAY 6

added a zip and finito :)

and that's it, i hope to save a lot more ring pulls because this bag came out quite nice its a good size and i want to make more, possibly in other colours too.

that's all from me

bye bye :P

new ring pull bag :)

howdy all!
wow it seems so long since my last post.
most of my time has been taken up by making a new ring pull bag that i finally finished yeppi!
its already listed on folksy and i have just started on a ring pull purse, here's the bag

so that it, im not used to crocheting that much so it made my hand ache quite a bit but it was worth it.

i was going to try and make a mini granny square blanket for a dolls house but as i started i thought mini crochet squares would look kind of cute on earrings so i tried it out and this is what they look like, what do you think?

that's all for this update im off to get some food im hungry lol

as always thanks for reading

toodle pip!

2 days left to buy

howdy all
a few of my items on folksy only have 2 days left before they get de-listed,
this bag is a one of a kind item and has been made from recycled sweet wrappers weaved together complete with zip, this clutch bag is both waterproof and strong, so buy it while you can.

click on the picture and you will be taken to its folksy page.

thanks for looking :)

more making

howdy all,
so i have been playing around with a few more things trying out some new ideas as well as making some new necklaces (necklaces will be added to my folksy store next week).
the new pendants are still fairytale themed this time including snow white, not much else to say about that at the mo lol
the new things i was playing around with are a bag and a purse, they came out better than i thought but there's still room for improvement i think, anywho here's what i made.

a bag made from 2 cds with a bit of crochet lol

a Capri-sun coin purse

i like the coin purse, i will see what the feed back is like before i make any more of the cd bags though.

that's all for today

bye bye :)

first time crochet

howdy all

after making the pop tab purse i thought i would have a go a crochet, i was trying a granny square and after a while this is how it turned out, they are a bit out of shape but it was my first go lol as you can see i managed to make 2 squares and a triangle lol

also as something different i made square but used a plastic bag instead of normal yarn (it came out better than i thought it would)

i want to try and make a blanket but that will probably take a while to make but when its done i will post it.

well that's all for now

bye bye

are you a gamer?

howdy all.

i have just re-listed 3 items on folksy, they are all wii related so here they are

this is a mini mario galaxy game necklace
http://folksy.com/items/366461-super-mario-galaxy-necklace

mario party 8 bracelet

http://folksy.com/items/366565-mario-party-8-bracelet

mario kart wii bag charm/keyring

http://folksy.com/items/366529-mario-kart-wii-bagcharm-keyring

so that's them.

i have been working on some clutch bags made from magazines weaved together, these ones are more simple than my candy wrapper purses so they will be cheaper but are still strong and waterproof.

that's all for now

**bye**
