Look what I got today

A treat from my DH

I asked my meaningful other half if I could borrow his Dremel to drill a hole in a little cat shaped mirror that I want to make into a charm, so.......

Instead of lending me his tatty grubby 'man's shed' type tool he said, why don't you go buy yourself a new one.... !!!..

Well of course I argued that it really wasn't necessary, and I put up a fight for at least oooooohhh 30 seconds or more.

When I've managed to get used to the 'feel' of the tool I'll have a go with the charm and I'll post the finished article here for all to oooh and ahhh over.

so watch out world I am now armed and dangerous.

Semi-precious stones collection

These were a present to me off one of my dear friends from a trip she made to South Africa, where she found this fabulous gem shop,
in the main shop they had massive collections of almost every semi precious stone you could ever wish for, then in the back yard they have what they call a 'scratch pit' filled with all the 'chips' and you just stand in this 'pit' and literally just 'scratch around; picking whatever stones you like....

The 'Woolies' Pick and mix counter will never seem the same again!!

A very tempting little sweetie dish
