Yes, I know, I am a week early but when I saw Karmyn's challenge I wanted to play along and next week I'll be sunning myself in France, eating croissants for breakfast, taking dips in the pool and enjoying bbq's in the evening so I thought I post my Fun Monday a week early. Karmyn challenged us:
And on June 4th - I will be asking everyone to show me their "CRAFTY SIDE"....let us see something you've made - it can be ANYTHING - a table you made from 8th grade Shop class to your most recent burnt pot roast or lopsided knitted sweater. WHATEVER - just let it be your handiwork.
This is a cushion I made when I was 11 or 12. I was unwell and off school and as mum was at work my granny was minding me. Granny had a coffee date with friends so I was to go along and sit quietly while the ladies 
This patchwork bag I made at school when I was 12, we were taught with a sewing machine and I used this for years. I did tell mum a few years ago to get rid of it but I'm glad she didn't listen.

Finally my latest craft. Here is some of the beaded jewellery and napkin rings I have been making these last few weeks.

Wow, I am glad that you decided to show your crafts a week early. You have made some lovely things. Your jewelry is beautful. I hope that you have wonderful time in France.
Becs great post I don't have to tell you how much I love all your craft. I like the new napkin rings and seeing all the jewellery.
gorgeous stuff. i used to make quilts but i haven't in years. someone once told me that it was good luck to make sure there was a flaw in a quilt; that perfection was unlucky. that was never a problem for me...
when do you leave for france?
you are very talented! I can't believe all those necklaces and napkin rings- they are beautiful!
and I love the bag! it is adorable.

Wow!! No one can compare to you and your family. You are all so talented!!
Your paintings are amazing! I would love to be able to do something like that. Also, the jewelry is fab. Have been wanting to get started on trying to make my own. Any suggestions?? ;-)
You are definitely talented. Taylor and I fight over the bracelet!

Also like the fact that you have crafts from when you were a kid. I have no idea where any of my kid-craft would be.
Excellent exhibit. Great work.

Ooh! I love the green jewelry set! The Winnie the Pooh characters are very good, too.
