Can you believe how quick this year is going. It's March already and time for a little Birthstone Inspiration from the gemstone itself to the beautiful aquamarine tones in our world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month is the <span class="_Tgc _y9e"><b>Aquamarine</b> which is considered to be a symbol of youth, health and hope. The Aquamarine colour ranges from pale ice blue to deeper seas blue tones and is the perfect time for those in the Northern Hemisphere as it is a great colour to represent Spring as it approaches later this month. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Life is a Journey Not a Race...</span></div>
<br />
Over the last year and leading into 2015 I have started preparing to expand my jewellery into the Wholesale world. Its a big process and takes considerable time to revamp all your products into collections, remake everything and create a catalogue suitable for wholesale and there have been days when I have felt a little dispirited at the lack and progress.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
So I needed a little pick me up and took a break to create a little visual inspiration to remind me to have patience and that nothing comes to us instantly. I love creating digital products so this is always a treat for me and I find it infinitely relaxing. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxz0n2ToCoFoMjh2Q2FHVFRLSmM/edit?usp=sharing" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiycgI0PuexWhJUYOlzijk8FZ9SAaPIJpDv0nD-XBfjqnCOQPiOuXLShzDabfgA-ZpcfoGT69ClMhXddlepUowV5NvGdOMmAf2s2X1p6EiFhNlKTvNQaULQRCfvTfoOqnKuluYywbhyMRM/s1600/Journey2.jpg" height="448" width="640" /></a></div>
This quote spoke to me the most so I made it into a digital image to mount on a canvas board. I used an inexpensive painting board from a discount store and had my images printed at my local officeworks on matt photo paper.<br />
<br />
I attached the image using a good layer of Mod Podge or any glue that won't cause the print to buckle. Once dry I sealed the image with 2 coats of Mod Podge again to protect it from wear and tear. Although this is not necessary with photo prints, it means that I can wipe them clean with a wet cloth over time and the moisture is not likely to buckle the prints as there is no protective glass as there is a traditional frame.<br />
<br />
Now the prints sits on my studio wall to keep me on track when impatience and the feeling of frustration that comes with slow progress sets in. <br />
<br />

Today I am visiting the archives, back in April I posted this on my old blog RMD Jewellery as a tribute to my husband and all military personal around the world on ANZAC Day but it's just as appropriate today as it was then.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Please respect the 1 minute of silence at </b><b>at 11am on 11
November on Remembrance Day in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed
conflicts. </b></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Lest We Forget...</u></b></span><br />This is not an empty phrase. For many people Anzac Day is just another day, a holiday, but it should be so much more to everyone.<br /> <br /> As the wife of a military man and ex-military myself, ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day are two of the most important days of the year to me, days to acknowledge the contribution our husbands, friends and family make to the military, both in the past, present and future.<br /> <br /> It is so easy to forget what they sometimes go through, what they are willing to sacrifice, especially when 80% of the time my husband leaves every day for a normal 9-5 work day and everything seems normal.<br /> <br /> Then there are the days he comes home to tell me he is off somewhere dangerous, even only for a few days, flying in and out, I don’t sleep and look forward to the day he comes home.<br /><br />My husband has seen a-lot in his time in the Air-Force on transport planes, helping in the clean-up of the Bali Bombings, Humanitarian disaster relief including the Cyclone in Burma, The 2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami where he was near the danger zone when the Nuclear Power Plants were at risk and many more. Not to mention time in Iraq, Afghanistan and other long deployments into conflict areas.<br /><br />So when we think about ANZAC and Remembrance Day, it’s not just about the past men and women whose lives were lost and served with honour, but about the present and the future men and women who continue to protect us, give their lives and their loyalty.<br /><br />I am very proud to know so many men and women like this as a part of the military family and I say THANK YOU to you all.<br /><br />So please, please everyone teach your children the importance of recognition, of honouring these men and women who are often taken for granted, after all, one day your children might be the men and women being sent overseas into dangerous conflicts putting their lives on the line with courage and commitment. <br /> <br /> <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. Lest we forget.</u></b></span></div>

My weekend snuggles. On the weekend our daughter runs into the room and climbs into bed with us for snuggles. Some days we may get just 5 minutes before she is off to play with the dog or watch her favourite weekend cartoons, but its something I look forward to all week and the start of the week heralds the end of our family snuggles.<br />

tired</span></b></div>
The weekend is the time to stay up late and forget about clocks so by the time Monday comes around I am feeling a little low and tired from lack of sleep after staying up late and not being free to sleep in to make up for it. Bad routines to get into but I don't seem to be able to help it as I just switch off to the clock on the weekend. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
What is your least favourite thing about Monday's or do you have Five Things... you want to share in comments?<br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: Dragonfly; font-size: 26.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Shruti;">Suffering from shoes that are
too small or tight. </span></div>
<br />
We all know what that's like, you try the shoes on in the store and the
feel not too bad, but once you get them home and try to wear them for
more than a few minutes it's obvious that they are just too tight.<br />
<br />
Over the weekend I bought some new shoes that fit right into this category. When I tried them on and walked around the section, they seemed fine, but the first time I wore them out they were too tight and hurt after the first 10 minutes.<br />
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiETv4NlEd4K5shqsAjlBwLGBkNwH5bPj6t-g-W-aD1auK6PnqneHTAQySXjCYeb2uUdeUxaTGfISLhQu0aNj5flMwk8HRY7K-60wSwLdOV2yWQ8ErvpUFSG16yVqjnlhLkWxXpfOLJja8/s1600/ID-100213622.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiETv4NlEd4K5shqsAjlBwLGBkNwH5bPj6t-g-W-aD1auK6PnqneHTAQySXjCYeb2uUdeUxaTGfISLhQu0aNj5flMwk8HRY7K-60wSwLdOV2yWQ8ErvpUFSG16yVqjnlhLkWxXpfOLJja8/s1600/ID-100213622.jpg" height="187" width="200" /></a>So I have been researching and trying out different methods as I actually have a few pairs of shoes that could benefit from a little stretching. It's important to note that you may need to try some of these multiple times before the shoes stretch enough, but these techniques can give you up to a full size larger if done right. </div>

Scrunch up and tightly pack wet newspaper into the toes of the shoe and leave overnight. As the newspaper dries it slowly stretches the shoe. The newspaper needs to be quite firmly and tightly packed into the toes for this to work. </div>
<br />
This is the first technique I tried last night and I must say that when I tried the shoes on this morning there was a definite easing of the tightness, although not quite enough yet. <br />

This technique I found quite funny, but when you think about it logically it does make sense. This is the water and ice stretching technique. Fill a zip lock bag, balloon or similar item 1/4 with water and settle this into the base of your shoes, making sure it fills the toe area especially. Pop the shoes into the freezer and let the water freeze and solidify, leave them overnight and as they freeze the water will expand and stretch the shoes. The damp environment of the freezer helps too. The next day, pull them out, let the water defrost and try them on. </div>

PS.

Now this technique is for leather shoes, I do plan to try it on my two patent tip shoes but not the other pair as they are made from man made materials. Put your shoes on with a thick pair of socks, using a hairdryer, give the shoes a blast of heat, not so close you burn them, but close enough that the heat will soften them. Wriggle your toes, stretch and flex your feet as much as you can and even walk around as they cool. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Repeat for both shoes and as many times as needed to help stretch and soften your shoes. No more than 30 second blasts of heat before letting it cool and if you use the heat more than a couple of times rub a good leather conditioner into your shoes to prevent the leather from drying out later and cracking. </div>

Yep, that's right, potatoes. This one really boggled my mind and I am not sure I want to try it, but it does sound interesting. Find a potato that is large enough to fill and stretch the toes of your shoes, peel it (its the juices and the moisture in the potato that is supposed to help it stretch), push it firmly into the toes of your shoes and leave it overnight. This would be a good one to try on worn shoes as I believe that the potatoes are great for absorbing and removing odours too. Wipe out the potato reside from the shoes with a damp cloth. I would probably not recommend doing this one on shoes that cannot get wet, like sand shoes or canvas shoes that might absorb the potato juices. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I would definitely not suggest you eat the potato after, <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Disko; font-size: 24.0pt; line-height: 115%;">ugh!</span>

I love working with colour but find gemstones limiting both in the creation process and the way they need to be set and colour, which led me to enamel, and eventually resin.
<br />
<br />
Initially I began working with traditional enamels to add that splash of colour, but again, whilst I love the results vitreous enamels create, especially the results of translucent enamels on fine silver, but the colour range, whilst broad, is still limited, and the construction requirements for enamelled work is also limited in some respects as its very important to consider the strength of the structure of an item that is going in a kiln, there is nothing worse than spending 5 hours creating a unique piece of handcrafted silver jewellery only to have it warp, melt or collapse in the kiln. <br />
<br />
But with resin the possibilities are endless, no heat is required and with a great deal of experimentation you can do so many things. Most importantly, as resin is hand-tinted, the colour options are only limited by your imagination. <br />
<br />

Even though my personal style is simple and contemporary, aimed at every day jewelry that can made more than once rather than unique one off jewellery creations, I wanted to share some of my inspiration. <br />
<br />
These jewelry artists create beautiful complex silver and resin jewelry all around the world. Their work is inspiring and provides me with some beautiful examples of what I would one day love to achieve, handcrafted silver and resin jewellery that goes beyond the norm and is nothing short of art. <br />

importantly, low
maintenance, as I most definitely do not have a green thumb and love
plants that do not require alot of TLC.<br />
<br />
I currently have a little set of imitation cacti sitting on my kitchen bench which I would really love to to replace with an itsy bitsy terrarium filled with real plants. My family rib me all the time about 'haven't managed to kill those plants yet mummy'. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, all my favourite creative terrarium makers are overseas and
customs do not allow for the shipping of live plant materials into Australia from other Countries. Alas!<br />

So, I went looking for instructions to make my own and found a great little <b><a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Terrarium/" target="_blank">DIY tutorial</a></b> on Instructables. What a great site. </div>

Now I also need to find the other supplies listed in the project.<br />
<br />
For those who are not feeling creative, or indeed are lucky enough to be
free from customs restrictions as you reside in the US I have included
some of my favourite ready made
terrariums from Etsy below and a link to the stores that sell them.<br />

Happy Mini Gardening!!<br />
<br />
P.S. Hopefully I can post an update showing my finished Terrarium over the next couple of months once I have all the supplies done.<br />
<br />
Do you have a terrarium you made, inspire me in my efforts by sharing it in comments so we can see all the possibilities available.<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnp9WpC4fexBR8bYNEnMtpbmz9se3CvzRvEQUVrJ2QXgIbJChCDhjVyce8iutHrumu_1CJh2qhNjQUxzdVRAgEzOGKAC7eZh_GAjmpNl_wlNxMWjzoYqdXz8HCPMBdEHAxwWziNkBofQo/s1600/Speech+Bubbles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnp9WpC4fexBR8bYNEnMtpbmz9se3CvzRvEQUVrJ2QXgIbJChCDhjVyce8iutHrumu_1CJh2qhNjQUxzdVRAgEzOGKAC7eZh_GAjmpNl_wlNxMWjzoYqdXz8HCPMBdEHAxwWziNkBofQo/s1600/Speech+Bubbles.jpg" height="288" width="400" /></a></div>
I was at a gift store recently and saw some little whiteboard fridge magnets in the shape of speech bubbles. What a fabulous quirky idea. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately the store ones were a bit clunky and large for me. So I decided this would be the perfect DIY project for the week. <br />
<br />
I created a cute set of colourful framed bubbles in different shapes, printed them and glued them securely a piece of thick hard card. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Rp-eeM6kY9QoLmkj__DNX-K5OePxC_2a6Tnz3PJ9DbNBBVuOjukaogEFmN4e6SI94nPfY_CWLQGQvoHBRkrD9HfED2oYNxtXIBzH_4zaDiBzwI29c1I-NcqGwHYDcmUIT06VCEAlrAE/s1600/Speech+Bubble+Magnet+Materials.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Rp-eeM6kY9QoLmkj__DNX-K5OePxC_2a6Tnz3PJ9DbNBBVuOjukaogEFmN4e6SI94nPfY_CWLQGQvoHBRkrD9HfED2oYNxtXIBzH_4zaDiBzwI29c1I-NcqGwHYDcmUIT06VCEAlrAE/s1600/Speech+Bubble+Magnet+Materials.jpg" height="173" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
Then carefully cut the shapes. I used a nail file to refine the edges where necessary, this was especially helpful around the curves where my cutting was a little rough. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDtozjrLDLKIW3APKhJSRdqIzmjWvCdomxAi5k2H-aDibpW0qvn-NPxr-GaLR3pePTT_bn-J_OKpQcMB8QbArJFayqpgPK7rQ2Mya7vxmz3fqkGSBubKMCf8mV4AM_bJXOqsbVz88CtOM/s1600/printable+speech+bubble.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDtozjrLDLKIW3APKhJSRdqIzmjWvCdomxAi5k2H-aDibpW0qvn-NPxr-GaLR3pePTT_bn-J_OKpQcMB8QbArJFayqpgPK7rQ2Mya7vxmz3fqkGSBubKMCf8mV4AM_bJXOqsbVz88CtOM/s1600/printable+speech+bubble.jpg" height="178" width="200" /></a><br />
Get a copy of the bubbles to print <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxz0n2ToCoFoLW1aR0hZdFdRSkk/edit?usp=sharing">here…</a></b></span><br />
<br />
For the dry erase surface I used a sheet of plastic, like a booket cover sheet that I had but looked at a few options before deciding on this as not everyone has these on hand and I wanted to see how they could be made using everyday items and found quite a few places suggesting clear contact, which would be really simple as it's self adhesive. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxbUt-8mHDpVEy5Tjw1LfWfRkZNT4jtB5m1K2D49Napei0vNw_2vSu_pXwgYclCwc3Gczw_xJ_FQki7VuXnev8_PLwyPOarMJaK7xgIrtzFmP41WO5pHaBpV-RkEy6eor8ruvTMCd5bfg/s1600/Fridge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxbUt-8mHDpVEy5Tjw1LfWfRkZNT4jtB5m1K2D49Napei0vNw_2vSu_pXwgYclCwc3Gczw_xJ_FQki7VuXnev8_PLwyPOarMJaK7xgIrtzFmP41WO5pHaBpV-RkEy6eor8ruvTMCd5bfg/s1600/Fridge.jpg" height="320" width="245" /></a></div>
<br />
If using a non self adhesive cover, paint the surface with a thick layer of Modge Podge (I was very sparing on mine and it came off easily so the second attempt worked better with a nice thicker layer), cut a piece of plastic large enough to cover bubble, press onto the Modge Podge and smooth out all creases and bubbles. Cut off excess once dry. <br />
<br />
I used self adhesive magnetic strips on the back.<br />
<br />
Voila, totally cute little magnetic speech bubble whiteboards for the fridge to leave funny notes for my daughter, love notes for hubby or reminders for myself.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677048113869043811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450755159353056255.post-39290855640906496952014-08-06T11:00:00.000+10:002014-08-06T11:00:01.338+10:00Packaging Ideas for Handmade Products<div style="text-align: left;">
Back in June I talked a little about the importance of clever <b><a href="http://craftartmess.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/retail-packaging-for-handmade.html" target="_blank">packaging</a></b>
for handmade products looking to expand into the retail shop market and
outlined all the basics I have learnt, from experience, that are
required and expected for packaging.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today I thought I
would expand on that sharing some of the packaging I
have seen, that is handmade but professional and perfect to fit the
retail market.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hopefully I can help inspire all of you
handmade creators who are considering wholesale, consignment and gallery
work where you may, at times, be expected to have professional
looking packaging included with your products. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/565131453214411237/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/565131453214411237/" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihq3FKtpM9S20EEJVNL9WPYh8QIyjHsNPIZL7spugY2jmL3Bk4jhnL_bGONMHIBb-6lznM64aCeZkRXnn-YqTFdpagmFMc-ZDbjVMq7YnILfYhdk_lutNWLkEs5rijdZ6j-pO15v8lbho/s1600/Cookie+Packaging.jpg" height="318" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Love
this idea for cookie and food packaging.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course, you probably won't
want to give away the recipe if you are selling through retail outlets,
after all, you want your customers to keep coming back for more.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Maybe
instead of the recipes, you could use the story of your product or
business and how it came about. Not only is it appealing to look at, it
gives your customers a background story so they can connect with you as
the maker.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Soap, bath and beauty products can be one of the easiest to package using handmade materials that can be made to look very professional.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whether you go with a simple printed wrap around card for square soaps or handmade your own printed labels for jars and containers.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are lots of ideas out there to from the simplicity of adding a button to your packaging to creating a product whose shape is reminiscent of a slice of cake.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Get inspired you and add your own little touch to personalise your handmade bath and beauty products.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course, considering I make jewellery I could not go past sharing some of the ideas I have seen for packaging jewellery and similar small objects.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The hand illustrated box in this group
is especially lovely and the perfect addition the hand drawn
illustration on the broach enclosed.<br />
<br />
From tins, like mine which are great for postage to protect your work, which allow you to print my own sticker labels to DIY Pillow boxes that you can print on your own customised card, colour scheme or even add your own logos.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I especially love the idea of using everyday items found in any stationary store like the little tags that make a great display for hanging earrings or the simplicity of brown paper bags given a little touch of class. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope the above inspire you to create your own beautiful and unusual packaging. Visit my PInterest board for more ideas or share you own packaging by becoming a contributor.</div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu2TazRdBvWorqB01pzovzSMb3Tfht9uC4UE_S_lWumzSvj4WHA4PN3SwZcpz7O0y7cvuogTu_AXR1COR8uwHNEnooZ6Lyc3aK9Y0s8JUSBR7RZGTQ6GkTucTwDY923o4wniUtiGS9nOs/s1600/canstockphoto18129791.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu2TazRdBvWorqB01pzovzSMb3Tfht9uC4UE_S_lWumzSvj4WHA4PN3SwZcpz7O0y7cvuogTu_AXR1COR8uwHNEnooZ6Lyc3aK9Y0s8JUSBR7RZGTQ6GkTucTwDY923o4wniUtiGS9nOs/s1600/canstockphoto18129791.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
You know, I really tried to get that to work. Has a laugh together? Farts together? Kids think that one is hilarious, but not quite as fitting as I'd hoped.<br />
<br />
However you say it, families that participate in crafts together have an incredible amount of fun. But it's not just all about the giggles; sure, the kids gluing each other together is funny, but underneath all the hilarity some important things happen when families create wonderful things together, whether it be making papier mache pinatas for a birthday party, or helping to paint a piece of furniture for a child's room. <br />
<br />
I'd like to talk about shared creativity first. As parents we pass many things on to our children; bad habits as well as good, but most of us make a conscious effort to pass on positive values, skills and personality traits.
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVuOu6QC8Z27eXFK01F4irja1JFoDjuEF08d0aG6Es-TvB7pSAgTWNirBypFsBdu4jRC0szg1tGP18TPybQ3RpdjlqBzPlk9q-LvURyFwkl41abR17E-r0wkD3Gx9iErZRAHVK4_dPorc/s1600/canstockphoto0690199.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVuOu6QC8Z27eXFK01F4irja1JFoDjuEF08d0aG6Es-TvB7pSAgTWNirBypFsBdu4jRC0szg1tGP18TPybQ3RpdjlqBzPlk9q-LvURyFwkl41abR17E-r0wkD3Gx9iErZRAHVK4_dPorc/s1600/canstockphoto0690199.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
Sharing and demonstrating creativity to our children teaches them the value of creativity, and the usefulness of being artistic. Creativity becomes not just an ephemeral quality that doesn't have a dollar value so therefore has no value, but something real and tangible; the ability to make a beautiful, useful 'something' out of a pile of fabric scraps, some paper and glue, or a few bags of beads.<br />
<br />
Bringing life to materials, and creating something that previously existed only inside your head is a mind-blowing concept. Teach a child that it is possible for them to create their dreams using only their own two hands (and a bit of help from Mum or Dad!) and you are giving them a very powerful sense of self belief that can carry them through many difficult situations both as children and adults.<br />
<br />
Another amazingly important thing happens when you create and craft together as a family is the creation of a family culture, and the creation of those wonderful childhood memories to go along with that. Activities we do for fun with our kids do come to define our family unit to them as they grow up. Thinking back, we can all remember things we 'always did together,' and those memories are often brought back by certain smells, items, or activities.<br />
<br />
You remember the way your family was, and is; the things that were important to you as a family, activities you all enjoyed together, and the kind of people you were. Everyone had their job, and their place.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDXn2yZS-QJzsrDlsHe1Sm3l8aMBRdG2qvSNnbsunJ0XR9FyTxHM9_QZBsY4csKp6wJU3HTENi16REBHBOPTnHvATNYLLfH16zT0P6jnGRvB6mwpG9r3V0O1e2jmWmew6KeVhzvXLxbE0/s1600/canstockphoto19082297.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDXn2yZS-QJzsrDlsHe1Sm3l8aMBRdG2qvSNnbsunJ0XR9FyTxHM9_QZBsY4csKp6wJU3HTENi16REBHBOPTnHvATNYLLfH16zT0P6jnGRvB6mwpG9r3V0O1e2jmWmew6KeVhzvXLxbE0/s1600/canstockphoto19082297.jpg" height="273" title="Images courtesy serrnovik at http://www.canstockphoto.com" width="400" /></a></div>
Crafting together is an activity that can create that family dynamic and culture. One child might be in charge of gluing, because that's what they enjoy, another with careful hands might cut or sew. Each child's innate strengths are being encouraged and valued, and a positive self image<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span>encouraged within the family unit. The family is being created as well as the project they are working on, and in future this project will remind the children of that part of their lives, and re-affirm their memory of what was special about your family while they were growing up.<br />

Creating and crafting together as a family has so many benefits and possibilities; I've only touched on two of them here. I'd love to know your thoughts as well; how does crafting together affect your family? Do you have memories of making things as a child with your parents? I hear so many wonderful stories all the time from people who remember being taught to sew, paint, or make things from wood from parents or grandparents when they were small.</div>

It's August and time for a little Birthstone Trivia and Inspiration. <br />
<br />
Last month we talked about <a href="http://www.craftartmess.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/on-fire-for-rubies-july-birthstone.html" target="_blank"><strong>Rubies</strong></a>.<br />
<br />
If you were born in August, the commonly associated Birth Symbols for the month are the Peridot as your Birthstone, your Zodiac sign is Leo, and the Poppy or Gladioli is your flower.<br />
<br />
Peridot is believed to bring power and prosperity to the wearer and to symbolise truth, loyalty and honesty. <br />
<br />
It is believed that the name Peridot is derived from the French word peritot, which means "unclear".<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9QBFaQR6DV65bZ0UcoJqjyn4IfNEDiFEPMxffA9iGS2S7HirBEg6XJQj5xRElJg4BojxzkIZgQBxNYFkSuYvMzmLfNwYgKyw9BYpum2c-2pMtUGuQBWT_ZCjvBf5VStfKk8HmuqbCEUM/s1600/Charlize+Theron1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9QBFaQR6DV65bZ0UcoJqjyn4IfNEDiFEPMxffA9iGS2S7HirBEg6XJQj5xRElJg4BojxzkIZgQBxNYFkSuYvMzmLfNwYgKyw9BYpum2c-2pMtUGuQBWT_ZCjvBf5VStfKk8HmuqbCEUM/s1600/Charlize+Theron1.jpg" /></a>Peridot forms deep inside the Earth and is brought to the surface by volcanoes which is why in in Hawaii, this gemstone is believed to be the tears of Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes.<br />
<br />
If you were born in August you share the Peridot as your birthstone with some wonderful celebrities including Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Barak Obama, Martha Stewart and many more.<br />
<br />
The gemstone commonly associated with the 16th Wedding Anniversary is Peridot. <br />

Peridot is not the most popular and abundant gemstone used in famous jewellery as it does not have the popularity of the ruby, sapphire, pearls and diamonds but this beautiful tiara is a perfect example. The Peridots in this piece are a deep olive green and beautifully clear. <br />
<br />
This Tiara, which is part of a parure could be adjusted so that the pendant drops from the necklace could be attached to the tiara and was made in the 1820s by the Hapsburg Imperial Jeweler Kőchert, for the Archduchess Henriette, wife of Archduke Karl of Tuscany and was passed down through the generations until 2000 when it was found forgotten in the vault of a female descendant of the family on her death and was subsequently sold by Sotheby's for over <span style="font-family: Calibri;">£</span>400,000.<br />

I think there is something really appealing about the look of a nicely formed chalkboard. Maybe it comes from years of visiting cafes and little local restaurants that show their specials on boards.<br />
<br />
Whatever the reason, I love the look so decided to make my own print for my daughter's room. I thought this was the perfect place for a little reminder of how much we love her, and using the chalkboard theme is perfect for a children's room.<br />
<br />
So first I spent the week searching for elements to make this little quote, one of my favourites and something I say to my daughter all the time. <span id="goog_839967475"></span>'We love you to the moon and back...'<br />

We have hung this in a lovely little distressed yellow and white frame that I made recently and it sits on our daughters bedroom wall right where she sees it every night before she falls asleep so she will always know how much we love her.<br />
<br />
Download a copy <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxz0n2ToCoFoUmNmNndSRWpKSjg/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">here...</a></b></span><br />
<br />
(PS, the print comes without the yellow framing but with the blackboard right to the edge, I added the digital frame just to show how cute it looks once it is framed.) <br />
