Shopaholic Beader: Fine Ol' Fimo
http://theshopaholicbeader.blogspot.com/2010/04/fine-ol-fimo.html
Friday, April 23, 2010. I've been longing for Lidl to get back in stock those portable oven thingys so that I can make and bake my very own Fimo beads. On a recent trip to the wonderland that is Yellow Brick Road. I came across the most delectable selection of these beads and being the restrained type of shopper that I am (yeah right! I bought a little (ahem) stash and made what are, in my opinion, the cutest neckalces and bracelets. What says all ye blog-readers? Multi Fimo Bead Neckalce and Bracelet.

Giving Away a copy of Pip Lincolne's Craft Journal, to ONE Lucky shopper. Just repeating my coolio Give Away Offer. This is a gorgeous craft journal from Pip Lincolne - you know how much we all LOVED her last Craft Book! Esp me) this is a great idea to follow up with. Many blank 'decorated' pages for us Crafters to make lists and sketches of our next projects. a really inspiring book. I do this for all outstanding projects:. 1 Sketch the thing i want to make / finish. 2 write an ingredients list. Those a...

That Crafty Fish x: June 2011
http://kirstyfish.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
There must be an Angel. I have finally finished off the button feet on my Angels. And managed to list them in the shop (SnowFish). There are, currently, these 4 different designs. well, the same Angels but with different dresses. A Vintage Liberty Print front (love, love, love this fabric). Plus a Ditsy Lilac, a Vintage Lace and a Tilda Pink. There is alot of detail in these and fiddly hand sewing / embroidery bits so they take a bit of time. I try and make them in batches so as to be a little efficient.

That Crafty Fish x: Spooooool Addiction...
http://kirstyfish.blogspot.com/2012/03/spooooool-addiction.html
Don't tell me you don't have this too? They are so cute! Any size really, i am a sucker for it. There is nothing that screams "sewing" as much as a spool, or the image of a spool. I am still trying to find a good tattoooooist so i can get 'spooled' in ink. Delighted to have these baby spools for offer in my shops. 125inch so really only big enough to fit 1 metres of ribbon on. The size a Borrower might use as a seat. or a mouse. You love them too. i know you do! 4 March 2012 at 06:45. I love those spools.

http://kirstyfish.blogspot.com/2012/03/hey-i-had-birthday.html
I had a Birthday. Not just one, but 2 stunning Fish Women. that is my baby sister folks! 3 too many Mojitos clearly gave me the powers to eat burning candles. The morning after, the morning after and Birthday breakfast with the girls. There was, naturally, a great deal more to the festivities than this - but i'd only bore you with all those cakes, gifts, nice food, champagne and prosecco, friends and frolics. Listen, i really do have to go out for a bit now but. Happy Birthday to you! I am not an actual ...

http://kirstyfish.blogspot.com/2012/03/flower-crazy-yipppeee.html
Flower Crazy - yipppeee. Flowers are one of my best selling buttons, did you know that? I'm sure you didn't. Probably because they are pretty and are fairly easy but interesting to use as a button? So i like to find new flowers for you to play with. And i have these new sets in the shops in 14 amazing colours. And, i think, they are a bargain! A spuerb range of colours to get you inspired and excited for Summer projects. I myself shall be using these to make mini button bouquets as gifts for friends.

That Crafty Fish x: BIGger Spoooools...
http://kirstyfish.blogspot.com/2012/03/bigger-spoooools.html
Not as cute and wee as the small spools BUT. You can fit more on so they do have their use. You could fit fatter ribbon on these or more yardage of a thinner ribbon. I am tempted to try painting a few too as i think they'd look funky. Selling in sets of 5 as they are a bit pricier - £4.70 without the Big Button. 163;670 with the gorgeous buttons stuck on top. Pretty playing - great for photos or for storing ribbon stash! Also ideal if you want to sell off some ribbons and trims on your craft stall. Felt ...

That Crafty Fish x: Spools... Spectacular!
http://kirstyfish.blogspot.com/2012/03/spools-spectacular.html
I did warn you. I did say, i would spend the evening winding bits of ribbon onto spools, like little Bobbins. You thought i was being all whimsical and that i actually had a secret life of Boys n Booze outside of this blog. Well the Booze bit is true - guffaw). Just look at the wee cuties. There is so much satisfaction looking at a bowl of these pretties. I don't even feel the need to apologise for my silliness. Pretty is just pretty - and that is that. How cool would that be? This morning i burnt my toe.

http://kirstyfish.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
I generally have just ONE. New Years Resolution for 2012. It is the Mantra that is going to guide me through a fantastic year (i hope). Saying "yes" is an attempt to put me out of my comfort zone. To welcome new opportunities. Because i have a tendancy to hide away from life. And just poke my head out into the blogosphere and back). I mean to be slightly 'measured' in this though. I am not 'yes-ing' in gay abandon to all and sundry! Yes" "thankyou, i will" "yes please" and "see you there". X x x. The fi...

Crazy Flavas. apparantly. A photo by kirstyfish. 222 calories per bag! That was an unecessary treat but yesterday was a tough day. GOT to love those colours though, right? Slow Attempts at organisation. A photo by kirstyfish. It is the Summer Holidays, but slow progress continues to organise all the buttons. Look A colour chart with names! Spooools. she drooooools. I just want to fill shelves. Spools filled with ribbons and trims. Plain spools with nothing but their beauty to declare. And dark wood spools.
