Monday

Nutshell












Pancake day, Kurt enjoying a pancake, Edie and Amanda Seyfried drawing, Cinema trips, Sunny, Sitting in garden, Jewellery business cards, Drawing unicorns, Illustrations to send to agencies, Katie wearing her Ring Bracelet, Breakfast at Tiffanys necklace, Dapper Cat necklace.

I wanted to post my Nutshell post yesterday but my internet has been down all weekend so haven't been able to log on! Very annoying as I wanted to watch the live stream of the Oscars, I stayed up to about 3am watching E! live on the red carpet and I thought they might actually show the awards as well but unfortunately they didn't. 

Spring was definitely in the air on Thursday. Clear blue skies, birds singing and warm sunshine, So much so that I even sat in my garden reading and doing a little bit of writing. Days like that really get me excite for Spring and Summer. A nice dose of Vitamin D and fresh air really does do wonders.

I ordered a bunch of business cards for Jewellery by Jaymie to add to orders and hand out to people. I hate sending out orders without a business card so at least now this won't occur. I have a slightly different Breakfast at Tiffanys charm necklace now up and one of my best sellers the Dapper Cat is now back and Dapper Cat rings will be listed soon as well. Remember all items are either one offs or low stock as I don't plan or make vast amounts of items. I've been working on some more ring bracelets so keep your eyes peeled (also know as slave bracelets but don't like that name too much!) 

P.S I will be posting my Monday Inspiration post later on too to help get the creative juices and thoughts flowing for the week!

Wednesday

studded dreams






New rings up on Jewellery by Jaymie, studs, pugs, brogues and a one off heart pearled shell ring. Got lots of new ideas for bracelets and rings at the moment including unicorns, crosses, skulls, ring bracelets and more studs!

I went to see Woman in Black tonight with my usually horror hating sister. I can't believe it's only a 12A?! Surely a 12 year old if watched that film wouldn't be able to sleep for a week, I know I would of been a very scared little girl! It is very jumpy and creepy, I really enjoyed the whole story as I've never read or seen the stage show of it so wasn't all that clued up on the narrative. The ending is one of those very open to interpretation, without giving to much away about it!

First day of Lent and my 'no chocolate' for 40 days and 40 nights thing is going well as haven't craved it yet, which doesn't sound like much of an achievement does it? But I pretty much always crave chocolate! Only 39 more days to go...

Tuesday

Twenties











Photos all via Tumblr

I watched Hugo today after wanting to see it since it came out way before Christmas. It is complety overwhelmed with stunning visual inspiration. Along with Hugo, The Artist and Midnight in Paris, A very 1920s Parisian life couldn't be anymore appealing. Sitting outside patisseries drinking coffee with a pet pooch 'dorned in beads, hats and luxurious coats. Dancing the night away, sipping on an Sidecar cocktail. I need to visit Paris again soon! I also read a book last year called 'Twenties Girl' by Sophie Kinsella, which is a very easy read and full of girly calamities. 

One particular scene which sticks in my mind (first photo) is when Hugo and Isabella search a wardrobe and lots of paper falls and surrounds them, images dance and come to live feeling it with a tangible excitement but sense of unease.

Sunshine

Hippy jungle Brigitte Bardot inspired illustration.

What a gorgeous sunny morning I awoke to today, steaming through my window seeping into my dream filled blurry visioned eyes. Springs edging close and Shrove Tuesday kicks off the countdown to warmer days. (Um, PANCAKES!) Scotch pancakes for breakfast is there much better then them topped with golden syrup, mmm! 

Added some new pieces to Jewellery by Jaymie including stud, shell, brogue and pug rings.
