Hello petals,
HUGE apologies for the lack of activity on the Box of Glory blog of late. I've had a lot of stuff to deal with recently (from being ill with acute tonsillitis, to assignments at uni, to relationship troubles, etc), but this week I have no classes at uni, so I'm hoping to catch up with as much as I can! That includes many visits to the post office, plenty of crafting, and hopefully some blogging too!
The most exciting news I have to report is that I recently sent off some more lovely hairpieces to
Leeloo (just in time for the spring racing carnival)! I made these ones during my semester break, and they'd been waiting patiently in my room, on display on my stand... so I kind of grew attached to them, seeing them there every day looking pretty. I feel like I've given away my babies now, haha!
But, in all seriousness, I am VERY proud of how these turned out. My technique is improving a lot each and every time I design/make new pieces. I've also changed the ribbon I use at the back of the combs, and I now use much stronger glue to attach embellishments.
So, without further ado, here they are...

1.
Purple Sparkle, 2.
Snow White, 3.
Purple Spotty, 4.
Pale Pink Dream, 5.
Cinderella Pink, 6.
Blue Featherette, 7.
Pink Heart, 8.
Creamy Purple
Be sure to check them out on
Leeloo and let me know what you think!
It has become very clear to me that I'm not very good at managing my time! I see all of you amazingly dedicated bloggers, who seem to be able to make frequent posts in your blogs, maintain all of your online shops, possibly also juggle families and children, jobs or study... and still manage to have fantastic social lives too! I seem to be one of those people who never has enough time in the day to fit everything in. It doesn't help that I'm also a chronic procrastinator and end up spending hours reading other people's blogs, or hanging out at sites like the Frankie Magazine
forum... My goal for the next week is to try and do as MUCH as possible in as little time as possible! Wish me luck!
I also have to say a big THANK YOU to
Hollie from
Hokey! She sent me a lovely resin owl brooch and swallow necklace after I was runner-up in her blog giveaway competition. I keep getting compliments on them whenever I wear them (she has some available on her madeit shop if you're keen)!
While I'm still in thanking mode... I have to say another big THANK YOU to
Hayley from
heidiandseek. She's sending me one of her lovely new Tangerine brooches after I won yet another blog competition! It must be my lucky month!
I think that's enough for today... I don't want to give you an information overload!
But, I'll be back again this week... yay!
