More Stick pins!!! A little more elegant and little less Flamboyant!

More Stick pins!!!  A little more elegant and little less Flamboyant!

Here are a few more stick pins I've been making.  I will be including some of these in the 6 blog candies I am giving away, so if you haven't got your name down and you were one of my 301 original followers, get your name down on the Candy post before the 20th January 2012.  

Sadly the camera doesn't bring out the detail on some of the beautiful beads, but they still look pretty.  These ones are a little more dainty and elegant I feel than the more flamboyant ones in the previous stickpin post.  I think these would be more suited to cards and altered items like pretty boxes and jewellery boxes.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  Ours is still going on.  We are off to my In-laws today for some tasty nosh and a bit of craic and then to my parents tomorrow for even more food and craic!  I'll end up as stuffed as the Turkey on Christmas day!!  I love going to family events, should it be with my lot or Scrubby's lot, I always have great craic.  So the pavlova is in the oven doing its thing....hopefully it will carry on doing its thing and not collapse on me!  Though I haven't had one yet that's collapsed......but there is a first time for everything.

Anyway, here are the stickpins.  







That is it for now my friends.  I hope you are all hitting the sales and getting loads of great crafty bargains.  If you find any great deals.....dont forget to let me know, lol.  
Ohhhh before you go.....look......perfect Pavlova straight from the oven.  There is no cream on it yet, obviously.  But its massive!  You probably cant tell from the photo but its at least 2 1/2 - 3 inches thick!!  Yummy.  It'll be gorgeous smothered in fluffy fresh whipped cream....hmmmmmm.......scrummy!

Straight from the oven....no cream added yet.  It went straight back into the oven after its photo shoot though, as the residual heat helps to prevent cracks and collapse.  Taking a Pavlova straight out from the warm oven into the cooler air makes loads of cracks appear and can cause it to drop a little.  So once it has finished cooking, I turn the oven off and leave it in there until it needs to be served.  Im talking about a couple of hours.....not days!! lol

That is one thick Pavlova!!  It'll look massive once the cream is on it!

Thats my lot for today.  Hope you all have a wonderful day, whatever you get up too.  And if you are out and about visiting, be safe on the roads.  I dont know about where you all are, but Northern Ireland is kicking up a storm out there.  The wind is very......windy!!

  16. Hi Lee - I have no idea what Pavlova is - but I WANT IT BAD. I wanna sink my teeth into that stuff - what's in it? YUM.
    I am so in love with that pink pin - top photo, pink pin on right. Do you know what it would cost to ship to me (Nevada, USA)? I'd love to have you make me some if it would cost me an arm and a leg to have you ship them. How much do you sell them for? Let me know. They're just beautiful!

  39. Hey Lee,
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Your pins are so lovely and your Peace Rose is GORGEOUS! I'm gonna give it a try but I don't think mine will look even close to this, at least not for awhile and a lot of practice! What is a pavlova? Is it made with egg whites? Is it an Irish dish? I am very Irish and Swedish but never heard of this! Looks good!
    Crafty Hugs,
