Heart pendants!



I LOVE hearts. Some people aren't heart people at all.....and I don't hold anything against them...but hearts just make me smile!! I have used heart cookie cutters before and have been happy with that. But I wanted to make one that had the pattern on both sides, so you can wear it anyway you want! Last night I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I figured I might as well give it a try! I am sure there are easier ways to get this style done, but I did it the way I figured it was done!! I will have to practice more, but this is a picture of my first attempt. I am pleased with it and can't wait to make more!

Pens and more pens!!



I do a street market on Tuesday evenings here in Parksville. It's called Summer by the sea market....or by the locals, Craig Street market! I had 4 wee little pens on my table last week, and sold 2 of them...so figured it was time to make some new ones. Yesterday I sat down and made 16 new pens for tonights market. After all the sanding....my fingers were kinda angry at me!! Very sore! BUT I got them done and they are ready to go for market tonight. Hopefully I won't be bringing ALL of them home!!
