Some new bits and bobs!

I'm a bit obsessed with onyx at the moment. It's so glossy and so easy to work with. Every colour looks beautiful with it.

Here I've combined it with freshwater button pearls and copper coated Greek ceramic washers.

These earrings are made with blown glass and a swarovski crystal. I love the swirls on the beads.

I'm a very lucky girl and spent the last 5 nights staying with one of my best friends in her lovely apartment in Versailles, more on that soon!

le hibou hulule

I am such a night-owl and always up too late! However there is something so satisfying about being up early enough to see a beautiful sun rise:


Such a change in 15 minutes and such a nice way to start the day!

My craft space

So this is my (messy) creative space (click on the photo to enlarge) :


It's where I do my sewing and make my jewellery and cards.

I recently bought some jewellery display stands and so thought that I'd see how some of my jewellery looks on them.

Everything looks super sparkly with the black background :)
