Hallowe'en and the spooky goings on...

This Hallowe'en, something spooky came over the shop...

Cobwebs and spiders dangled from the ceiling and signs...

The changing room became infested...

The pumpkins dominated the window!

Even the glass display heads dressed up!

Mothering Sunday earrings 2014

You know, I had completely forgot about this post! Well here it is!

For Mothering Sunday last year, I made my mum a set of Celtic knot earrings. A very simple knot but they were quite small!

I used the excess corner pieces from a circular blank I needed for one of the many pieces I made for my final degree show. I have ALOT of those corner pieces still...

Anyway, here are the earrings, all lovely and in silver.

I need better pictures of them really but these will do, I'm not trying to be impressive with my lack of photography skills but at least you can see the Celtic knot I've created! That's why I leave it to the professionals!

Chris Packham and the conflict with Countryside Alliance

Here in the United Kingdom, we have a fantastic naturalist and wildlife presenter called Chris Packham, who some of you will have seen (or read) me raving all about his amazing work and advise. He is well known for presenting Autumnwatch/Springwatch/Winterwatch.

However, Countryside Alliance have rocked the boat. They are not all cushiony and fluffy like Jake's Bones (that little dude!) puts it. In short, this club is for rich smug people who like shooting anything natural which moves. They are for the badger cull and fox hunting which is inhumane and revolting.

Ironically, Countryside Alliance wrote an article saying Chris was biased and his views 'bizarre'. From watching him on Autumn/Spring/Winterwatch, he is not biased and yes he is bizarre but who isn't?! That is what makes us unique and is why Packham has been such an inspiration to me. He speaks his mind and says things how they are. He is a brilliant teacher and is so very down to earth. He not only supports the British wildlife but the wildlife of Europe and sometimes America!

So my wonderful Moment-eers, what would I like you to do? Show your support, sign the petition and keep Chris with the BBC.
