It's 3 weeks until I get married and I have a mountain of things left to do - not a good time to be stressing out or for my cleaner to quit!!<br /><br />Hardly any sewing has been happening and I am really missing it but I just don't have the time at the moment.<br />I have been virtual shopping for earrings though for my two bridesmaids. They both have short hair so I wanted something that would be elegant but still a little funky. Of course I found the perfect pair at <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/index.jsp">Anthropologie</a>.<br /><br />I love this shop - seriously. I think I could actually set up home in one of the stores and stay there forever. The online store now ships to the UK but shipping is $35! It's a shame it hasn't made it over the pond like Urban Outfitters did (I think they're part of the same chain).<br /><br />These are the earrings in anycase.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/Sh_AkYOefAI/AAAAAAAAAPE/EXYY_zVEC6g/s1600-h/Moonlight.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 135px; height: 220px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/Sh_AkYOefAI/AAAAAAAAAPE/EXYY_zVEC6g/s320/Moonlight.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341199414295690242" /></a><br /><br />Although they had some other really lovely ones that I almost ordered for myself.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/Sh_Au2ZBSLI/AAAAAAAAAPM/9nB4U3TQC1c/s1600-h/943367_066_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 135px; height: 220px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/Sh_Au2ZBSLI/AAAAAAAAAPM/9nB4U3TQC1c/s320/943367_066_b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341199594191669426" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/Sh_A5S4JhdI/AAAAAAAAAPU/9eK8KO7pA1g/s1600-h/943310_gol_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 135px; height: 220px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/Sh_A5S4JhdI/AAAAAAAAAPU/9eK8KO7pA1g/s320/943310_gol_b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341199773637117394" /></a><br /><br />Sigh, I'm going to miss all this shopping :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6511135226144173847-1055650306499675362?l=handmadebelle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Handmade Bellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891763516855809296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511135226144173847.post-42561196368617565122009-04-15T21:33:00.003+01:002009-04-15T21:35:32.696+01:00YAY! I am excited! Had my first wedding dress fitting today and the dress is still perfect - I was a little worried that I wouldn't feel the same way about it but I do.<br /><br />DOUBLE YAY! Someone actually likes the knickers I made and contacted me about making a special pair for them! Just need to find the right sort of material now - spring green colours!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6511135226144173847-4256119636861756512?l=handmadebelle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Handmade Bellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891763516855809296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511135226144173847.post-18485711197343680742009-04-13T11:38:00.005+01:002009-04-13T11:42:18.926+01:00New items are up in the Etsy shop <a href="http://handmadebelle.etsy.com">here</a>!<br /><br />Here are some pics<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/SeMW7DLWX6I/AAAAAAAAAO8/TSh6CEHNu08/s1600-h/P4130034.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 219px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/SeMW7DLWX6I/AAAAAAAAAO8/TSh6CEHNu08/s320/P4130034.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324124388203061154" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/SeMWyifSjtI/AAAAAAAAAO0/96Gyx1u9pCM/s1600-h/P4130028.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 208px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/SeMWyifSjtI/AAAAAAAAAO0/96Gyx1u9pCM/s320/P4130028.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324124241989373650" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/SeMWl1rqD2I/AAAAAAAAAOs/PyXYSbRLkqo/s1600-h/P4130025.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/SeMWl1rqD2I/AAAAAAAAAOs/PyXYSbRLkqo/s320/P4130025.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324124023803219810" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/SeMWcpEtIPI/AAAAAAAAAOk/I3P2a98u6Q8/s1600-h/P4130024.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 205px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/SeMWcpEtIPI/AAAAAAAAAOk/I3P2a98u6Q8/s320/P4130024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324123865799794930" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6511135226144173847-1848571119734368074?l=handmadebelle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Handmade Bellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891763516855809296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511135226144173847.post-20118547311584465272009-04-08T13:40:00.002+01:002009-04-08T14:16:43.118+01:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/SdybhugM5lI/AAAAAAAAAOc/lVf7tt_S3_w/s1600-h/Knickers+x2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/SdybhugM5lI/AAAAAAAAAOc/lVf7tt_S3_w/s320/Knickers+x2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322299863366166098" /></a><br /><br />Here are a couple of little somethings I have been working on for the Etsy shop. I used fabric from some clothes I was going to give to the charity shop. These are size L (UK14) but I am hoping to have enough material left over to be able to be able to make some smaller versions also (UK10).<br />I am hoping to be able to take some good pictures over the Easter weekend and get them listed too!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6511135226144173847-2011854731158446527?l=handmadebelle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Handmade Bellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891763516855809296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511135226144173847.post-16509085724975604702009-04-02T11:59:00.005+01:002009-04-03T12:49:09.390+01:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/SdSb0xlvb1I/AAAAAAAAAOU/0xl9f6SS6Mc/s1600-h/Homes-wishlist-Fedrika-fa-005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WZay2phz5No/SdSb0xlvb1I/AAAAAAAAAOU/0xl9f6SS6Mc/s320/Homes-wishlist-Fedrika-fa-005.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320048390798536530" /></a><br />(found <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/gallery/2009/mar/28/home-decoration-eastern-folk?picture=345150919">here</a>)<br /><br />This fabric from Ikea is fabulous!

I've had ideas flying round my head for sometime about where I want to go with my knitting and sewing and I guess, creating. <br /><br />I've never really thought of myself as a creative individual; traditional art isn't really my forte and I've only recently come back to knitting and discovered a love of sewing that I suppose must have been there all along. <br /><br />This site is going to be part of that journey to discover my inner creativeness.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6511135226144173847-7140378762740607927?l=handmadebelle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Handmade Bellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891763516855809296noreply@blogger.com0
