Now bearing in mind that the pendant measures about one inch by one inch in size and my ribbon tying skills haven’t been practiced for some time, I think I did quite well with them! The hardest part was tying the ribbon around the lock of hair because I do not have the nimblest of fingers. For the flower, I used miniature flowers that I also use for my name on rice jewellery.
I think I did the locks of hair proud, what do you think?

The really sad news this week is that I have noticed our local crafts shop, ‘Kim’s Crafts’ in Hinckley is closing down. The shop has been serving the local crafting community for the last seven years and it is so sad to see it go. It is far more than just a shop as the extremely friendly are always willing to offer advice and the shop also put on plenty of demonstrations throughout the week. I am not sure where I will go now for my supplies and the visit into town will not be the same again. I do hope Kim opens up another store locally so that I can still have my weekly fix.
