A Sassy Conspiracy

Yesterday I received a lovely package from the delightful Plummy of Craftster. She sent me this loot in trade for the Hello Kitty package I’ve had for ages. The package came while I was at work so I couldn’t resist tearing into it, thus there isn’t a picture of the pretty wrapping, sorry :( Also [...]

New cloud necklace design using the lovely apatite teardrops I picked up last month. Gar, picked three broken ones off the strand, and the holes are TINY *pout*. Sometimes semi-precious stones can be so frustrating… but they sure are beautiful!
