A view from my window

Last week we saw season's first snowflakes, mixed with rain...

But my suncatcher charmed the clouds away and the new week started with crisp, hardly-above-freezing cold, yet sunny weather!

I finished another wristlet today, made from charcoal grey wool cloth - cold weather makes me want to work with wooly fabrics again, but the colours are a bit too sad so I try to cheer them up with some hand embroidery.

One more wristlet is waiting by the sewing machine - I hope I can list it tomorrow, so far it doesn't feel quite finished, I have to take another look at it tomorrow by daylight to make up my mind...

Created by Sonja

This gorgeous pendant necklace came in the mail yesterday - made by Sonja, a blogger friend and a truly creative fellow Slovenian.

I came across Sonja's blog a while ago and couldn't get enough of the magnificent jewellery she makes out of polymer clay, not to mention the paintings and sewn goodies - you can see her work if you click around the Link Within feature at the end of her blog posts.

Sonja recently opened her Etsy shop CreatedbySonja and I was lucky enough to snatch this pretty redhead pendant - it is a glazed print transfer on polymer clay, made after one of her own mixed media portraits. And so beautifully wrapped..., I almost didn't want to open it!

I haven't been very busy sewing these days as I play the nurse to my sniffling and caughing children - winter is here and our car is locked in ice every morning...

So here are just two recent listings, another Goga wristlet, made from mocha brown chenille, and an embroidered Mia zippered purse in grey and burnt orange.

My newest listing is another Goga wristlet/clutch, this time a little more luxurious edition, made from plum purple chenille and adorned with golden lace trim and a large antiques brass dragonfly charm. My entry for this week's EST challenge, hosted by lucietales, entitled "The roaring 20's"
