30 Words: Fickle, or, What's your favourite flower?


In June I will say roses,
in July, sweet peas,
in August it's the hollyhock ...



... but right now 

in March
the answer to your question is

quite unequivocally

the daffodil.


The premise of 30 Words Thursdays is simple...


Take an image (preferably one you shot, or have permission to use).


Write 30 Words about it. No more. No less.


Post it each Thursday.


Add your link to the InLinkz on Erin's 30 Word Thursday post. 
(InLinkz code will be open for one week.)
Enjoy seeing what others have captured by visiting them and leaving a comment.

Projects for today

Well, it's a glorious day here - the sun is shining and it's lovely and still.


Here's what I'm going to be up to later.


As usual, I have several things on the go at the moment, so I'd like to finish them. Two bracelets and some earrings which are nearly done, as you can see here: 


In the top right you can see my first ever experimentation with memory wire, which I'm quite pleased with so far. For some reason I had thought that it would be a lot trickier than it is, but unless finishing off the ends is really difficult, this hasn't proved to be the case. The beads thread on really easily, and it's actually quite fun to do!



Then I have some gorgeous new beads which arrived yesterday to put away. I placed the order mainly to have some more of the rhinestone hearts, as they make lovely pendants, but I couldn't resist popping a few 'extras' in my basket at the same time!


And not forgetting to admire these fabulous tulips. I bought them earlier in the week and they have lasted really well, but I can see they haven't got long to go now - they're at the stage where you know the petals will be dropping off soon, but still time to enjoy them!




So I'd best get started then!!

New earrings

These earrings I made a little while ago, but have only just got round to listing them on Etsy. I like the vintagey feel, with layers of little orange and peach flower beads and little bead caps.
The flower beads are Czech glass, which come in such a pretty range of colours and styles, I'm a bit addicted to them at the moment!
