Busy bee.......

Hello there. It's sunday night and no I am not relaxing on the sofa with my feet up watching the ol' box, I am updating my blog!! I'm trying, I'm trying!
This week has been another busy one. Infact with a fifteen month old it's always a busy week. Sometimes being an at home mum looking after Harrison leaves me feeling lazy. I feel I should be out there working...earning the green. In my spare time I am creating my wedding head pieces and cake designs and yet I still have to reassure myself that it's ok not to have a job at the moment.
Since the age of 16 I have worked. My first job was washing hair at a local hairdressers on a saturday(this is why my hands are still so dry). I kept that job throughout college and as soon as college was finished I found another job. I continued in that same job until I was made redundant last year.
I don't stop from when I get up until I go to bed and caring for a little one is the hardest job I have had, also the most rewarding.
so why can't I except that being an at home mum is a full time job? Does/did anyone else feel that way?

Enough of my ramblings, here's what's been happening this week........











These are chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate frosting. I wanted to make some fondant flowers with a vintage feel and this was the outcome.
They tasted rather good too!
The frosting made me very happy because it was a perfect concistency to pipe onto the sponge.Happy days!

I have also been trying to update my other blog 'prettylittleheadshandmade' if you have a chance, please have a look. I am hoping that one day this will become my 'job'!
I have a few more designs to add to my blog, but they are already on my FB page.
I can also be found on Facebook. If you felt so inclind, you could press on the 'like' button on the facebook page and become a friend of my site . So far I only have ten likes ( sniff sniff ).

Here's hoping you have agreat week, even if it's a little chilly!x

PrettyLittleHeads...

    So apart from stressing over christmas, baking, being mum to Harrison and trying to find a new home I have been working on my new designs for PrettyLittleHeads.
I thought I would share them with you.....

Lilibeth hair comb





Lucia hair comb





I have been working with really beautiful swarovski pearls and crystals because they have such a high lustre and make the pieces very luxurious. On your special day you want something extra special so I decided that I wanted to use only the best.

PrettyLittleHeads

So here we are ....
                          My own little company 'PrettyLittleHeads', where I have been designing and making jewelled hair pieces. I am aiming to make enough styles to open a Folksy shop in the hope that some lovely ladies will fall in love with my designs and want them for their special day! I recently designed some bespoke pieces for a friends wedding in Australia and now I am working on my own collection.....soon to be posted about.....


The photograph is of my great grandmother, one of my inspirations for designing......I have a studio set up in our flat where I work (away from little grabbing fingers who like to grab beads and try to eat them!!)

This would be my dream job. I really love designing jewelry with all the beautiful swarovski crystals and pearls and find it very relaxing making them.
To think that I could be doing this for a job and staying  at home to look after my little ray of sunshine would just be amazing to say the least!
I hope you like my pieces and if anyone needs a special handmade piece made....please email as I am only too happy to make you something to fall in love with!
