Springtime Collection

Sorry, I've barely written anything in a while. My holiday got rather busy so I wasn't online that much.

However, I did manage to get a few items made, but I was focusing mainly on my charm bracelets. These items are from the new Springtime Collection, so expect lots of pastels and flowers ;)

Cupcakes & Elegant Sparkles Charm Bracelet - £14.00

Made with plenty of sparkle, this charm bracelet is perfect for those springtime days to come.

Spring Flowers Charm Bracelet - £14.00

This is a favourite piece of mine, based around the love of flowers.

Springtime Lilac Rose Earrings - £4.50

Adorable lilac clay roses with green Swarovski hearts, symbolic of a flowery garden.

These items are 'grab while you can' pieces, so if you were interested in something, please send me an email to sparklerosedesigns@live.co.uk. In the next week or so they'll be going to Milkwood Gallery after my success in selling there :) I popped over for a chat (and a naughty browse) last week. I'll be blogging about that soon :)

I'll also be announcing the giveaway winner in the next few days, so keep your eyes peeled :)

Hope everyone's having a good weekend so far!

Love,

Plans

I apologise for the lack of posts lately. I'm feeling a bit out of the swing of it all. My trip to Cardiff has generally been good so far, but today is a fragile day, for reasons I won't note. Just, wherever you are and whatever you're doing, have a really good day :)

I've slowly been making pieces for Sparklerose Designs, and I've been working on the website. It's going to need a LOT of work, and I'm way behind my deadline, but I'm getting there. I also have plans for the blog, so expect some changes.

In the next entry, I'll be showing off some new pieces, promise!

Love,

A Catch Up

Hello everyone!

I seemed to disappear over the weekend. I was rather ill and trying to recover quickly for my Cardiff trip (I'm in Cardiff until the 3rd March now. yay for holidays). Thankfully I did feel much better by the time I was sitting on my train on Monday ;) and the journey seemed to fly by.

I have plenty of comments to read, and plenty of blog posts of others to read also. And hello to the new followers, thankyou for being a fan :D

I'm pleased to say that I've brought my jewellery making supplies with me, so there will be new pieces very soon. I also have my camera, so I'll be able to show them here, yay!

I'm in the process of starting to de-clutter my old bedroom today, I'm a hoarder by nature and I've kept alot of things that need to go now. I think living away from home made me realise exactly what I want/need in life. I've noticed quite a few people creating blog sale posts. Do you guys reckon they're a good idea?

Love,

Decorative Jar

Sadly, I'm feeling pretty under the weather today, ick. I'm relaxing before my shift at work later, hoping it'll fade away.

Inspired by Jessica at Such Pretty Things, I decided to create my very own cupcake case jar (you can see her post about it here). I have no intention of using the cases, I just wanted something decorative. But Jessica, who bakes alot, finds it useful for storing the cases. I think it's an excellent idea, decorative or practical :)

I used an empty glass coffee jar and lots of little multicoloured paper cases :)

Cupcakes!

I wanted to show the cupcakes I made for Valentines, they're not actually that Valentinesy at all, but there we are ;)

I used a recipe from the Hummingbird Bakery cookbook, but I sorta got confused between bicarb of soda and baking powder, ahem. The sponge was literally, sponge, in the 'boi-ing' sense, but it was hilarious. At least they looked pretty :D The lumpy bits are marshmallows, so they were actually meant to be there, ha. I can't say I'm the best at baking these days...

But the meal we had was fab in general, thankfully my boyfriend is an excellent cook :P

Hope everyone's having a good week so far!

Love,
