Reading and Crafting

Hi Everyone,                             I am just popping in before the madness of the Crucible begins.We are rehearsing from 12.00pm to around 5.00pm tomorrow! Then costume run on Monday and again on Tuesday, for the show to start from Wed to Sat! I will be very sad to see the end of this play. I have met some great new people in the new group and I love the play. Here's hoping I am in the next one!

Between rehearsals I have been making more Fimo creations and trying to get back into reading a good book. I love to read, but don't seem to have had as much time lately. I picked up a YA book from the library that I had on wish list in Jan! Its called Rosebush. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7778996-rosebush

Remember these little characters?  Mr men and Little Miss
              

Mr Bump, Mr Tickle, Mr Messy, Mr Happy,Little Miss Stubborn,Little Miss Sunshine,Little  Miss Naughty,Little Miss Neat,Mr Chatterbox,Mr Square

If you know anybody who would like any charms they are £1.05 each.

I hope you are all having a great weekend. I will keep you updated with the show. Bye for now Priscilla xx

BATMAN!! Crafting a Batmobile...

Hello everyone, thank you for the support on the new home hunting! I will let you know how it all turns out...
Nanana,na,na...Batman 
Why I am I talking about batman you may ask??? Well I had a request from a lady to make a Fimo Batmobile from the 1989 move! Her husband is fond of the 1989 version of the car, and she wanted me to make a cake topper as as surprise for his 40th birthday.

I love a challenge and am always interested in making new items. I began looking at photos of the car to get all the details and the overall shape. Even You-Tube provided some good clips and would you believe people are even selling replicas of the car that you can drive!?

Here are some photos of the car, it is around 14cm in length. Made completely from fimo and handmade by me.

I tried to get the detail,it is hard to see in the photos but there are markings where the guns are etc lol

and one more photo of the back of the batmobile...

Here is a You tube video of the car and movie, I used this as inspiration!!! I havnt watched the movie, but I now love this car!

Here is a plastic model of the car, this one is gray,but the car is black and I wanted it to be true to the movie.

POW!!Kapow!!!

Hope you enjoyed this little trip down Batman memory lane....

See you again soon Priscilla xx

Liquorice Allsorts keyring

Hi everyone,

I tried to post a blog entry the other day and for some reason blogger would not publish! So here is another one! As you know I am having a lot of fun experimenting with fimo, I thought I would share one of my recent Creations. A friend of mine asked If I could make liquorice allsorts and turn them into a keyring for her brother!

These were great to make! I chose the more male colours of the allsorts... The others I made as beads/charms for bracelets.

Hope her brother likes them!

Just a quick post to say I am still around and see you all soon :)

Mothers Day..

Hi Everyone. Last Sunday was mothers day here in the uk and we had a nice relaxing weekend. I had been working on a little gift for my mum for a few week, mum likes to wear a keyring on her handbag so I made her this Bunny in a watering can.

The photo above is of mum and me in Egypt Luxor around 3 year ago.Mum loves Egypt we sometimes say she must of lived in Egypt in a previous life! lol... Dad took the photo! My mum and me are very close and spend time doing things together,gardening,going to the cinema, sharing stories etc. So this year I thought I would do a mothers day post .... Mum and me many years ago! lol.... I was 19 in this photo I am 32 now... I remember this day. I used to have really long hair and I had it cut into a bob,mum had her hair done too by the mobile hairdresser we both used! Oh how time flies by ;)

Here is another photo of the bag charm...... and the back of the charm...

If you celebrated Mothers day on Sunday hope you all had a lovely day xx Bye for now Priscilla xxx

Cupcake Charm! And Etsy Treasury..

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all having a great start to the week. As you know I set myself up an Etsy shop, called 'Priscillas Cottage' Lisa's Creations for my Fimo Charms and Pendants.

I am having a fun old time figuring out listing items and learning about SEO! I have added a new item that I loved making.... a Cupcake Charm! I made one for a lady who asked for a cupcake with a rose on top and this was the result. It reminds me of the shabby chic decorations!
There are so many great shops on Etsy I wonder how anybody sells anything! Its fun though and a good way to promote my work. No sales through Etsy yet but I remain optimistic.


I am also on Facebook where the lady that asked for this charm found me.

Here is my latest creation...I think I will make one for myself too! I am making more charms with various themes. I am working on Easter charms at the moment...

I have also been featured in a Treasury. My cake pendant at the bottom left!

Howl At The Moon

If you would like to see my shop visit me here 'Priscillas Cottage'


I hope you have enjoyed viewing my creations, Let me know what you think


Bye for now xx Priscilla

Fimo Cake Charms...Feeling Creative.

Hi Everyone,

I cant believe we are nearly at the end of January,where does the time go! Thank you for your great comments on the 2010 reads, I love hearing what you are all reading!

Between reading I have been doing a bit of crafting, I always feel more creative at the beginning of a new year, it feels like the year holds opportunity to create a whole new world! Anything is possible.... So I tend to begin more crafts!

I wanted to share a pendant I made for lady who ordered a charm from me. She loves cakes and asked if I could make her a two tier cake with pink roses. This is what I came up with, I sent it off to America and I am happy to say she is very happy with the charm. ;)

I am in the process of making a few more charms, I will share them another time. My grandma is still wearing the Chocolate log I made her for Christmas, so I promised I would make her a spring themed one!

I went to the library this week and came home with a few more books! Here is the book I am reading at the moment ...

I have only just started reading, but its very funny so far, a lot of talk about diet and resisting food..................... and there had been a murder...ooooh. lol. Hope its a good read. I'll let you know ...

Bye for now
