Glamglass meets RPattz

I had a fabulous couple of days in London, where I met up with a couple of girls, Kerry and Kaci, who are huge Rob fans like me!
We got to Leicester Square at around 8.30am and it was pretty much normal with a few barriers for the fans to wait and the crews building lighting stands etc.
There was around 50 people already there and some claimed to have been there from the day before.

The atmosphere was incredibly friendly and we chatted with some of the security people and TV people.
The day didn't drag at all and we people watched and laughed and laughed!
We watched whilst they added the signs and then at 5pm they closed off the front of the pictures and started to lay the red carpet!!



I am at the end of this photo with my present balanced on my copy of Details Magazine!

My Gift for Rob!

I had gone with these as a little gift for him, not knowing if I would get a chance to give him them, but after what seemed like forever and a few near misses, he eventually was led in our direction. He was making his way up the line and I could see he was a bit overwelmed with the crowds, so I said "Relax, enjoy it and don't forget to breathe" and he gave one of his sideways smiles! I then said "I have a present for you" and He said "really". He then came over to take it and his security were looking over at me when I asked if he would give Emilie (de Ravin) hers too. He put my cufflinks in his pocket and started to sign the box that was for Emilie! Then he said "Oh that's Emilies!" He signed my details magazine and then had a photo with the girl next to me.
I was soo close I could not resist leaning to have a sniff!!
He smelt like heaven!
As he came back I said "Rob, I just want to say Thank You, you have made an old gal very happy" and he gave a quick smile and was off!!

I have to say he was just as good looking in the flesh if not better and that he was very genuine and lovely!

Tom Felton from Harry Potter was another of the stars who was very genuine and friendly and came over to give autographs.

Holly Valence was another who acknowledged the crowd and after I had shouted "love the shoes Holl" Gave us a peace sign and a smile!

I have a memento of my own too, a large Remember Me sign that was on the railings!!

Still smiling today and very pleased that I went!

The Eyefund has expanded their range of goods to include these fabulous pure silk scarves!!




They are available from my Folksy shop and all proceeds will go directly the Eyefund.

What is the Eye Fund?

Can you imagine not being able to see?? I need glasses to see in the distance and I struggle a bit with that!!! As an arts and crafts person, I would not like to think what it would be like to lose my sight!

The Eye Fund aims to provide much needed counselling and aid to those who are losing their sight due to degenerative diseases, such as Retinal Cone Dystrophy, Cataracts, Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinitis Pigmentosa, Neurological Visual Impairment, Retinopathy of Prematurity as well as Age-Related Degeneration and other eye conditions.

All the artwork is designed by Simon Sherry and his story is at the above website

Cabochon Bangles

I have been working with Cabochons, due to my lack of firing......it's too cold to go outside to my studio!!
I have also been buying some blanks and cabs and decided to make a few bangles and see how things go!
This is a sample of some of the ones I have done so far and they are listed on Folksy in my shop.
There are Abalone Shell, Turquoise, Tigers eye and Amazonite Gemstones and Millefiori Cabachons with different settings!


I hope you like them!

Is everyone getting back into the craft fairs soon!? We have our local ones starting up again soon! Check Stallfinder to find your local events and for those on the Wirral or Merseyside areas, look for the Floral Pavilion events or contact me for details.

Hope everyone is well!

Just what my kids wanted!!!
Typical they are at school! It looks great in the garden, but not good on the roads.

Hope everyone takes care out there.
Off for a snowball fight when the kids come home :-)
