Oops, it's seems I  have been away from here for a little longer than I realised.
Unfortunately the last few weeks I have been a magnet for germs, having bronchitis followed by tonsillitis, grrrrrrrrrrrr.
 
To cheer myself up I decided to do those things that I enjoyed doing as a child, my favourite being blowing bubbles.
 
 
I always loved the colours they make and the way they dance in the sky.
 
I am not a fan of little plastic bubble wands, not pretty enough. So first I spent a nice few hours making bubble wands fit for a fairy princess.
 
 
 
I gathered a few twigs that I had collected and dried and painted them with some very pretty glitter paint and let it dry. While they waited I threaded beads and buttons onto strands of jewellery wire .
 
 
I was then able to wind the wire around my sparkly twigs, Tra-la, pretty bubble wands.
 
 
Having covered myself in glitter paint I decided that while I left the rest of my twigs to dry fully it would be nice to make some wands out of the wire only, and add little bells for some added twinkle.
 
 
 
 
 
I think I may have to spend the rest of the day sending pretty bubbles into the sky x
