Birthdays and Gift Giving x

So today is my dear Sister-in-Laws birthday - Happy Birthday Hayley!
I spent all of today house cleaning and thinking about what I want to achieve in the house.  I've decided, probably like a lot of people, that I have way too much clutter here and will probably be heading over to the (e)Bay and doing some listing there.  It not only passes along some of the 'stuff' to new homes but makes me some pennies to get more supplies.

Hayley's gift (as promised yesterday)

I made her a little 1 inch square memory glass soldered pendant with her initial on one side and her favourite childhood memory, the space hopper on the other.  I also covered the little box in matching paper and finished off with some retro ribbon ~ Personally I liked the box as much as the contents! lol.  I think she was pleased with it x

So, tomorrow my mum is coming over and then if I get time, I think I will be sorting out some eBay bargains. I'm also making plans for some hama bead retro inspired jewellery.

Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How

Who? I guess that's me.

I'm Beverley. I am a mixed media, Indie, art designer, which basically means I make things! LOTS of things. I love to create.  I have a little misi shop on-line where I sell my jewellery, stationary, housewares, gifts, art and other many varied creations that I make in my home studio (that's my little shed in the garden).

I like to recycle, re-make, re-use, re-fashion, wherever possible so lots of my items are one of a kind (ooak) unique things that you will not see anywhere else.

Here I am. I don't change colour that often in real life, although sometimes I'd like to.  I am 44 years old. A Christian, wife, and mother to five children.

 

That's them!

My 1st Grand Son is due in October and we are all looking forward to that.

We also share our home with two gorgeous fur babies

Sid is a Yorkie x Jack Russell and Amos is an American Bulldog.

Lots of things inspire my work, I love the sea and we have a little hide-away caravan by the beach where I spend lots of my time. I love to hunt through junk shops and car boots for vintage and unusual bits and pieces.

My new mission is to re-style our home using as many recycled or re-purposed items as I can.  I hope you'll want to stay with me on that journey and be inspired and share some of your own ideas with me along the way.

I'll be showing you my little workshop, my desk, the stash, work in progress, telling you about the new things I have planned for the shop, showing you my home, the before and after shots and sharing a little of my day to day life, dreams, fears and loves with you.

I do hope you'll make a mug of coffee, pull up a chair and share some of it with me. Please leave me a comment, share your own blogs and ideas and take the time to connect. I'd love to hear from you!
