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
