Happy 1st Birthday!

Happy 1st Bloggy Birthday to me! Yes, it's been a year since I started my blog. I can't believe it and I must go back and re read it all to remind myself what I've done this year! Time flies! I'm going to celebrate by watching The Godfather. Are they linked? I think not, but I'm not sure i can justify a birthday cake for this momentous occasion, but what I can do is watch some Pacino and laze around all day! Sounds like a perfect birthday!

Kazowie have featured me in a lovely article on feathered head wear for weddings. Check out the link! It's so lovely to be featured by other people and I'm so grateful.

I'm adding some more tiaras to the T&F site today and some beautiful Swarovski jewellery is going on too, so keep your eyes peeled for more products going on soon!

Here's a couple of teasers...

I'm feeling much better today so I think that I'm safe from Swine Flu for another day...

Ah, I've installed my software. Here are the pics of the tiara so far. The idea is to follow the pattern off my client's wedding dress so that it all ties in.

First tier

Second tier

Third tier

The wedding dress embroidery

It needs crystals and pearls encrusting around the band, and the third tier needs attaching to the second one and bringing down a bit and then it's finished, although looking at these pics it looks a bit ridiculous! It's amazing how the final tweeking makes such a difference!

I've picked out a light colorado topaz crystal to incorporate into the design as it's the crystal used on the wedding dress, and my client chose light cream rose pearls and crystal crystals to complete the look. I used silver glass seed beads to trim the wire as my client didn't want to see much wire on the final design. I'm so pleased with how it's turning out!

Oh, and these are my first tomatoes! Yay!
