Holly & Bella above :
The pic above is the top of our road , where it goes towards the main road , I know ' Where's the road' Thats why I fell into a boggy bog , didn't know it was there

Last night around 5.30 it snowed again and did not stop, it had been snowing all day yesterday on and off and the school had already closed . 7am the phone goes it the emergency snow call from the school ( parents chain link ) school closed again. I opened the curtain and these are pics of the snow around our house today. I fell into a bog my god it was freezing dread to think what the Loch is like. And as you can see what The Girls thought of the snow.

A Glorious Day part 3

I took The Girls for a walk around one of The Lochs this morning here are some pics I took of this mornings weather.

Not So Thick after All

I did it, I found out by mistake and all on my own how to put buttons and blinkies on I was so pleased with myself. Yahooo. I am not so thick after all.

Snow Again So I got Busy

Snow again when I woke up again this morning, but a little supprise it was warmish and no wind , Yippee no wind. So I took the girls out watched Star Trek yet again and made pieces up today.

More Updates

We have updated our website again this afternoon. Have a look its only the main page that has been achieved this afternoon but what we have done we really like. I think it shows what we like and what our tastes are. the main picture on the header is what The Other Silly Moo took on Saturday. I love it , it shows a blinder of a picture of Shetland scenery . It is beauty just like pieces of our jewellery. So go have a look on WWW.SillyMooz.Com

Name my Dragon

I am in love with my dragon ( For Sale ) but I have no name for him / her . One just won't pop into my head that suits, so it's lonely with no name and needs a lovin home to go to.

Made with Stirling silver ring and holder on a simple black cord so you are attracted to the Dragon instead of the chain. This dragon is from Flying Bead. It is amazing what people can do I hope to get that good.

Fat Cow Day

Like I said the weather has changed, wet windy and dull. DULL , DULL, DULL. So I have done nothing except eat like a pig. As The Son says a fat mum. But I made Apple Crumble to go with the Panforte again for last nights meal, so with today's roast it had to be finished off, the crumble I mean. along with the double cream . Lush I mean Yuk !!! Bad woman.

The Son is off again tomorrow , they don't do a week off in Feb up here just a long weekend. And yes it is long. I am in the middle of making up stuff and have some idea's so when they are done you know they will be posted on. So today apart from eating everything I could lay my hands on , I vegged and watched for the ninth time Star Trek, Then The Proposal for the sixth time or so lost count really. I was kicked outta the lounge as The Son has found football on the telly & The Husband needs no excuse to watch sport. The Son has found footy and he's 11 all these years not being interested, but because they play that much sport up here and footy he's become interested. So I get kicked out the lounge hence the eating like a pig well that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.

A Glorious Day

An absolutely glorious day today, just the same as yesterday. No woolly hat or gloves to go with the 6 layers of clothes ( top half ) you put on just to get outta bed. If all the days up here could be like this. However they do not forecast the same for tomorrow. We shall see I have loads of washing to put out. The difference already with the lighter mornings our household were up and out of bed before 8 am on a Saturday the dogs are walked and our tea and 2 deserts are done ready for friends coming round later. They have just come back from Nepal , an experience they said seeing that part of the world.

So I could clean , housework , clean ahhh yes that chesnut. I hate it , puts me in a bad mood. Maybe just bobbed around with the hoover and a quick tidy up maybe.

We have made a start

We have started the Website the other Silly Moo and I today, well this afternoon. I forgot I had to take Tilley for her blood test to see if the big C is back. Oh and a lesson on how to relieve the other dogs blocked glad from its bottom. NICE !!! Will let you know that one and what mess I get into. The vet says keep your mouth closed and don't stand in the way.

Back to the website, we have sorted into boxes what we have, whats for the sale section , the new section for the craft fairs and Internet section. We didn't realise we had a fair bit of stuff that we had made over Winter , just shows, bugger all up here to distract you ! I have been told I must stop making. Which is going to be impossible unless I get hooked on this Lamp working then it will be all beads and no jewellery made up. We shall see. So we are back on the web designing hopefully Monday if all goes to plan. Fingers Crossed !

We are also going to arrange a Jewellery Party on Yell before Mother's Day I hope if it can be done in that time and if we can get the right time ferry on and off both Islands. that will be fun in it's self. It is a military operation just to go literally over the water can take up to 2 hours. Our friends just live across the water, we can see there house from ours the only problem is we have to get off our Island to get onto the Mainland to drive to the next ferry terminal to get a 20 min ferry onto there Island. FUN FUN FUN . You think going to Birmingham from Manchester is a nightmare ha you could get there and back by the time we make just the journey there. I should never complain again about a motorway and the travel. But I will I know I will from all the traffic, see I have started already and I am sat at my kitchen table whilst getting annoyed about motorway traffic that is over 200 miles away for fffeaks sake.

Prairie

Prairie Bracelet :
I have had these beads since September last year, they were supposed to be a birthday present but I changed design and beads today I made them up they were screaming ' I'm Here ' ' Make Me , Make Me You Witch ! ' So I obeyed. I hope you like. The beads are from Josephine Wadman, but of course made up by me.

Today again we took The Girls for their walk early , it was a lovely calm start to the day, but by lunch the cloud had arrived as well as a few showers, boo hoo. The postie has forecast that we are in for more snow, yes you heard right The Postie. Locals have more chance on giving a better weather report than the news anyway and they do tend to get it right as well. Anyhow I wanna go home today miss the warmth of my house, familiar surroundings and The Husband having that control over his work even though it is. I don't miss the noise and the rude people , I do sometimes miss our life in parts that we had down there, I miss the size of our house and the space we had and all the work we did in the garden there. But in the same way if we moved back now , could we adjust or would we slip into our old ways again ? I hope not, I hope we could have the best of both , take what we have learned up here and have the convenience of living in a city ?? Can it be done or would we loose it slowly as we get blinded by city living.

Emerald Hearts

Emerald Heart Necklace :

Similar to the red heart this is also from Cheeky Cherubs. Everybody goes for red so I decided up this heart with putting a flash of deep red swarvoski beads to contrast the green in the heart. In the sunlight you can see through the heart , shame my own heart isn't like that although The Husband would say there is no emotion in there !!! I on the other hand disagree I tend to cry at anything slightly emotional and they are not Kroc tears they are the real McCoy and proper flood. And I know I am getting worse, so question to you all. Do the tears flow more freely because you get older ? are female ? menopause ? pmt or motherhood ? Or is something that I have not thought of like the life we all could have had ? being married too long ? no chocs in the house ? lack of sex ? ( Blush Blush ) .

Country Fair

Country Fair Set ( For Sale ) Above :

The Beads are by Josephine Wadman . I was going to do the bracelet with all shades of pink beads, I put them to one side , forgot and got out the Swarvoski Mixes instead. After I had put the bracelet together and took the picture I found the pinks remembered my original idea but liked what I had already done so stuck with this. The Earrings & Necklace are on Stirling Silver , with Swarvoski in contrasting colours. They do remind me of Somerset where I was born , those summers and those carefree days. Homesick now for the life that could have been if we had stayed in Taunton. But we shall never know what was intended down that path. This set is very girlie and very in touch with Summer ( Cannot come fast enough for me ). Hope you like !!!

Aqua Seas

Aqua Seas Bracelet Above :

Beads are by Flame and Glass but of course made up by Moi. Today is a lovely sunny day not too warm and there is a breeze. So these beads inspired me today because of the sunshine reflecting the sea. This bracelet is perfect for these shoes . I have these shoes but in black. really comfy & look amazing.

So you can tell the seasons are changing a subtle change is in the air, male blackbirds are chasing the females, buds on the bushes as we have no trees up here. And I have put my washing out today and it has come back in dry , not wetter than when I put it out. The towels are lovely and soft as they have been bitch slapped into submission and smell of fresh air !!! Bloody needs to warm up now though its still a wee bit nippy just yet. Maybe May I might get the thermals off.

No Buses pass my House

So I could wait for a bus forever, none would pass by , only Pelagic Ships like these , picture below is taken with The Husbands scope. As for normal buses we don't have any on our Island .

Heartbreaker & Rockafella

HeartBreaker Necklace ( For Sale ) Above :

Perfect for Vally Day . Focal is by Cheeky Cherub , I put this focal with black chain to bring out the red in the focal and contrasted it with emerald green swarvoski beads.

Rockafella Necklace Above ( For Sale ):

These beads are from Flame and Glass, i put these on tigertail to make a bracelet first of all but once these beads were styled like this I decided to make it into a necklace, with chain and extending chain for different lengths. It sits really nice upon the neck. So I have decided to purchase a Necklace Display so that these designs can be shown as they should rather than flat. Nuts it the sunlight it looks stunning but today I am not fortunate to have sun so that it shows the beads in there glory.

Quaderni di Birdwatching

I am letting you all know how proud I am of The Husband but shhhh do not tell him, His Cow Bird Picture is now in an Italian Birding Mag, " Quaderni di Bidwatching. They sent a copy today, it is of course in Italian so we just looked at the pictures , we haven't a clue what it says. He also goes in other mags as well in England which I am sorry I cannot remember the name of them, just shows my interest in birds. It is on the same level as his interest with beads so we are equal on that. So under his picture it says "Un merlo testabruna sull'isola di fair , nelle shetland ". We have no idea what it says but it does sound good.

Panforte Day

So I saw this being made Thursday or Friday on this morning and I thought it would be perfect for Sunday Lunch Desert. We had friends coming over from Yell and Island off mainland Shetland. I was unsure with it being Dark chocy .

But I must say with double cream it was yum yum !! As you can see I only remembered to take a photo after we had dived in, but at least you get the idea. I also made a Pecan Nut Tart incase they didn't like the Panforte, but I must say I will be making that again.

As for the waist and the fact I did not put on that much weight at Christmas , these past 2 days have made up for it. Being female certain times of the month you need that sugar, well I had to phone The Other Silly Moo last night to confess I had had 3/4 of a tub of Benn and Gerry's Cookie Dough and was tempted to eat The Son's as well. I resisted . JUST. I shall no longer be buying Ice cream just for mum anymore. Bugger !!
