recently...

...some bits of jewellery - a necklace very similar to this, but with a longer bead & a green & purple necklace featuring some gorgeous fluorite beads...

we've also been busy preparing for Christmas, lots of cleaning, (I'm almost up to my desk/workbench, which you might see, although I'm not sure about showing the 'before' photos), decorating the shop...

plus some cooking - I baked some madeira cakes - two for dessert on Christmas Eve (trifle, yum) & one to eat straight away.
