I had a lovely morning

I had a lovely morning, looking after the animals and then my Mum and Dad came to visit. They bought some guests with them Tom and Bob who are old army buddies of my Dad (back in the days of National Service) and Toms wife Betty. Mum did a brilliant job of tracking them all down last year and she got them together after about 50 years of not seeing each other.

I'm so pleased they have all found each other again; but in a way I'm sad that they have missed out on 50 years of great times together. I can't begin to imagine what it must be like to do armed service and rely on each other to watch your back and protect your life - literally. This sort of friendship is extra special and I have to say that every one of Dads friends are absolutely lovely, lovely people - I'm proud to have met them and I'm so very, very grateful for what they and others have done and still do for all of us.

They are off to a reunion/get together for a few days and I hope they have a wonderful time.

I am so proud of my Dad :O)

Swap Bracelet

Swap Bracelet, originally uploaded by GoodMonkey.

Well here it is. My swap bracelet. I made the beads and Charlotte made the bracelet. Isn't it fab? The bracelet I mean. I have been wearing it everyday since I got it and I will be wearing it everyday for a very long time to come. :O)

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Me and Mr.Monkey went to see the new Transformers film last night. We loved it LOL. Loads of special effects, no plot to speak of but lots of all action robots and the gorgeous Megan Fox thrown in there for Mr.Monkey.

What a woman she is.......... two and a half hours of non stop action and her make up was still perfect, false eyelashes still in place and hardly a dirty mark on her white skin tight jeans!

Here you go Mr.Monkey :O))



Mind you ladies having said that it's worth going to get a peek at the gorgeous Josh Duhamel - yummy ;O)

Thank you

I just wanted to publicly say many, many thanks to the lovely ladies who bid on, and won the charity auction items of jewellery.

The bracelet was bought by Jayne who I believe is going to pass it on to some lucky lady as a gift.

Also my friend the very lovely Sandy bought the pendant. Sandy is more than capable of making her own beads and jewellery so this is especially generous of her. Even better I will be able to give it her in person when I see her on Saturday :O)

I think I did it Dawn. Although it did take me two attempts. LOL

Pic for Evie :O)

Necklace made by me. Lampwork beads made from coral coloured glass, ivory coloured glass and lashings of fine silver which is 99% pure silver. The beads were etched for a soft silky texture then strung on a soft greek leather lace with sterling silver findings. It measures up at about 15 and a half inches so sits really nicely. It is longer than it looks, I have wrapped the leather lace around so that it would stay on the stone wall LOL. You like it?

Charlottes beads, my bracelet

I promised you I would show you the bracelet I made with Charlottes beads didn't I? Well here it is....it represents a warm summers evening with the Brimstone moths coming out to play. The little spacer beads jingle alongside the nugget beads.

I was driving though a local village the other day and saw this, I had to go back and take a photo just to show you.
