Craft fair! and Halloween miniatures

Hello everyone,
           Just letting you all know I am still here. Settling nicely into my new home,still some things to un-pack and some furniture to get,but enjoying the new home immensely!

I have been crazy busy this last few week, I am getting ready for a craft fair selling my fimo items!!!! Very exciting, and unexpected. I went into my chip shop and read a flyer for a craft fair in a local village hall on the 21st Aug. I rang the lady and she had space for me,as long as I don't sell my items as jewellery! As they already have 2 jewellery tables. So I am taking bookmarks,keyrings,phone charms and fairy doors! and anything else I can make in time ....lol  

The cake has witches hats and candy corn around the sides around 2cm wide
I have also been working on a order for Halloween miniatures for a dolls house. A lady contacted me and asked if I could make her some items and I jumped at the chance! I love Halloween, the colours,such a magical night. I find a lot of inspiration for this season, now ask me to think for summer and its not as easy lol. With this in mind I came up with some ideas for her and she chose:
 Halloween cake
Skull and bones
Witches Hat
Cauldron
3 Pumpkins
Pumpkin Pie
Potion bottles
Stack of old books
and 3 tombstones!

Tombstones are around 1.5 inch tall. Handmade from Fimo.Ghost,Roses,Skull details
I had a great time making these, making miniatures is something I have wanted to do for a while, dolls houses have always fascinated me. I think if I had one, it would a Halloween house! or a autumn themed house, heck why not a autumn street lol   I love making food, pies cakes anything.Pumpkin Pie came to mind...

          Pumpkin pie! Oh I cant wait for October lol

Witches hat Harry Potter style. I added the face like the sorting hat. I may change this to black if the lady would prefer a black hat.

Thats what I have been up too! I will have lots more posts once the craft fair is over and photos too. It is the first craft fair I have ever done so a little nervous,not knowing how much to take and trying to suit all themes!  There are 19 tables in all. We are just hoping someone turns up! If all goes well there will be another one in December, so cross fingers.


Well I am going to carry on putting my Harry potter bookmarks together! A part of the collection I am taking to the fair. Talk 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
