2015 in Retrospect

2015 was a BIG year for Baldy's Knits & Bits!

I got much more practice using the sewing machine, had some amazing custom orders and got really into jewellery making.

It was a great year for my confidence and motivation, I feel so much more capable than I did a year ago and I've learned not to completely dismiss an idea before finding out if I'm actually able to make it!

Wire Wrapping Fun!

I've been trying out a bit of wire wrapping. I had a go at it a few years ago and couldn't really get the hang of it but over the weekend I just picked up some wire and gorgeous random stones I had lying around and went for it!

It was really satisfying, and I'm pretty pleased with the big black one in the centre, it turned out exactly as I had imagined it looking, which is rare and very very pleasing!

It's a good reminder of the fact that if something interests you its always worth having another go at it, even if you're a bit discouraged at the start (hopefully I can remember this as I learn to drive!)

I'm really happy with the black one in particular! 

So pretty.
