Black and White all the way ;)

You could say that these brooches are inspired by all the controversy surrounding Newcastle United Football Club & its owner Mike Ashley or it could just be because I love monochrome!!

I'm a fan of anything teamed with black: magenta & black, lime green & black, but you can never go wrong with monochrome.

Gorgeous silver and gold beads in the centre.

3 different combinations

All packaged up and ready for the website

I love Friday afternoons, mainly because I only work my day job until 1pm but also because its the start to the weekend and I can get some dedicated sewing time in. I especially loved today as I made a trip to the greatest shop there is......I could spend a good few hours in there browsing and then buying ;) have you guessed it yet???

Yes, its Hobbycraft and just look at what I bought!!! The plan was to go for some more black card for my brooch packaging, but anyone that knows me knows I couldn't have just gone in, got the card and come straight out! There were loads of sale items and buy 2 get 3rd free, well that's like waving a red rag to a bull.

I bought some goodies for me, some goodies for a dear friend of mine who I know will totally appreciate them and then I bought some goodies for my next 2 give aways. First one planned for just before Halloween (Oooooooohhhhhhhh) and then the next in November leading up to Christmas. So watch out for those, I'm collecting quite a booty for them so they are sure to be great. OK I'm off again, got to finish those clutch bags and put some washing in!
