This is a time-out moment where you fix a cuppa, sit back and check out what other creative people are up to. Some delicious looking beads make a colourful necklace - like this design found at Under The Loupe.  If chocolate brownies sound like something you’d like with your cuppa then Annette has a simple recipe for you. If you prefer to be brave like me and ignore the brownies then you can browse more designs by Annette Piper  at her web site – they are beautifully handcrafted and Exquisite.

   Beautiful fabrics and creative designs lovelingly created = quality products. Creative people will come up with nifty ideas like this little fob at Bags By Melanie.    One-Of-A-Kind designs by Melanie like this Cosmetic Set – Gothic Rose Burgundy or the Carnival Bloom  zippered pouch are sold via her Etsy store. There are lots more designs to browse for great gift ideas.

Do you take notice of the comment notes at the Post A comment box on the blogs you visit? I love some of the ones I’ve seen. A while back I tried to change my comment note and after a a few hours of trials for this persistent blogger I managed to find how to go about the changes. Mine now reads as  Round Table Chit-Chats. I add -

Now that you’ve finished reading this post, please don’t leave without adding your voice to the Round Table Chit Chat.
I love reading your chit-chats …. and visiting Your Blog.

At my Precious Treasures blog my visitors leave Inspired Thoughts. 

At A Good Cup Of Coffee, visitors comments are cups poured. 

The Simple Woman’s Daybook comments are Kind Notes. 

I’ve seen lots of other comment ‘types’ but I love what Ann Rae from Critical Mass  has for her comment box - 

I’m a comment junkie. Thank you feeding my habit.

If you would like to feed Ann’s habit, write a kind note, an inspired thought or would like a cup poured then take some time to visit.

Have you a cute comment name on your blog? Then please join in with our Round Table Chit-Chat I’d love to hear what it is.

What do you do with a heavy glass bead necklace? If it’s too heavy to wear you may want to throw it away or give it away. But what if the necklace belonged to your mother and the glass beads happen to be venetian glass beads? They’re not something to just ‘get rid of’, especially if they were bought on a trip to Venice. Well, you ask a creative friend to do something with it……. and I think eight things were well done.

Recreating items is something I love to do myself and Mezz from Creative Outlet has done a fantastic job recreating this necklace into eight totally different new creations. They’re gorgeous pieces. I quite like Purple Velvet and Light Amethyst…. although Lavender, Burgundy and Amethyst are so nice too …. well all eight are great. You must pop over and have a look at what Mezz has done.

Visit Creative Bloggers

I’ve added a new button in my sidebar as I’ve recently joined Creative Bloggers. I’m wrapped to find a site where all the members are creative people of various descriptions. I’m steadily checking out these wonderful creative bloggers and over time I’ll be sharing with you some of my finds.

The first is a designer/illustrator  – Gretchen of Chichiboulie who lives in France. Her illustrations are fresh, fun and so delightful. It’s hard not to have a smile on your face when viewing Gretchen’s work. She sells online through her website, Etsy and other sites. Do take a peek at her blog Boulie Blog where you’ll get a taste of behind the scenes at Chichiboulie…… I love the name.
