Long time, no blog! Blame it on a combination of starting a new job and all that stress it involves and the joy of moving- nothing saps creative energy like unpacking boxes and putting together flatpack furniture. Which is a pity really, because I've always thought of flatpack furniture as the grown-up version of a giant lego kit!
I only have a small post- a cute little necklace that I made on the weekend before starting my new job as a teacher. Things will probably remain fairly quiet from me as things I do in the classroom like using osmosis to shrink and expand eggs don't really fit in a craft blog (fun though- dissolve an egg in vinegar over a day or two, then place it in either pure water or a highly concentrated sugar or salt solution and see what happens).

Necklace pinned out for blocking- curve at end due to me running out of cork board! |
The necklace was from the book 'Easy Tatting' by Rozella F. Linden and was made using purple crochet cotton and black swarovski crystals. I think it looks pretty good, can't wait to wear it out and about.
