Countdown to Mother's Day begins... The Misi Crafters on the forum were looking this week at the gorgeous handcrafted Mother's Day gifts on Misi. There was just so much choice. Of course, it depends, does your mother love jewellery?
Or would she like a quirky plaque/sign...
Does your Mum love delicious smelling goodies...
Is she the Fluffy Teddy type...
And of course, don't forget to get Mum a card...
With so much choice, you won't be leaving Misi empty-handed...

So I decided on the Sun this week as the weather had been so dismal and depressing that I wanted to brighten it up. The Misi crafters intepreted the theme in some very unique ways. Love this about crafters, so creative :-)
We'll start with... A sun mosaic by Olgadepolga... (sorry no shop name so that's the crafter's username)
A Sunflower vase by LewesiaGlass...
A Sun Bangle by Glamglass...
Melina Sapphire Hoops Earrings by IsabellaGems...
You are my sunshine plaque by Suzie-Bee Designs...
A Smiley face cushion (nice sunny yellow) by Blue Sunflower...
A sunny holiday journal by Unique Kelso...
A summery bracelet from Scottish Princess...
And finally, to finish... A sunset from Mosart...
If you would like to join in with our theme of the week, look out for the Theme of the Week thread on the Misi Forums...

When I suggested Blue as this week's theme I was overwhelmed by the response. It's been really difficult to choose just a few items from the great items chosen by the crafters on the Misi forum.
I'd like to start by mentioning the Blue Sunflower shop ~ a very special charity shop on Misi with some gorgeous Blue/Sunflower themed items, all donated by various Misi crafters ~ stopping by there is a must for items like...
And now to begin our tour of Blue Misi... this gorgeous pendant is from Lodichka...
Cute blue applique bag from Studio G...
Personalised Baby Shower Guest Book from Kelso...
Love this little bottle from Lewesia Glass...
Adorable baby shoes from our Crafter of the Week ~ The Pink Fairy Cake...
Tea cup candle with it's own tea pot by Pauline's Candles...
Blue birdy t-shirt from Heather's Treasures...
Cross Stitch 18th birthday card for cricketers from Bramley Cards...
And finally, a beautiful turquoise wire-wrapped pendant from Priti Jewellery...

Let's meet Carol... who is the crafter behind... Sparkly Things on MISI...
How did you get started in your particular craft and how long have you been doing it?
I've been making jewellery for about 6 years, I started not long after the birth of my daughter, I was looking for something to do as a hobby and jewellery has always been a passion. I started selling my jewellery when I realised I was running out of room to keep it and my wesite has been running for 4 years.
Are there any negative aspects to doing your craft and if there are how do you work around them?
There are so many wonderful jewellery makers out there and I worry that what I make does not compare, but everytime I get a sale or a compliment it always helps my confidence. Last week at my workplace, a few of the women there were looking at my website and there was a lot of 'oohs and aahs' going on, someone commented that it sounded like they were at a firework display.
What tips would you give to anyone thinking of starting your craft?
There are several jewellery making magazines out now, I think they are probably the best place to start, they're a mine of information for basic techiniques and also suppliers.
How did you find Misi?
It was actually mentioned in the Daily Express, a small piece about making money by selling crafts and after having a look around the site I thought I would give it a go.
What is your favourite item in your own Misi shop?
It would be the purple turquoise wrapped pendant, I'm pleased with how that came out and I do like a bit of purple.
What is your favourite shop on Misi (besides your own)?
Lots to choose from but I think I'll go with V B Designs, they're items are so unusual.
Random Facts about you:
What is your favourite season and why?
Spring, just as it's starting to warm up and you can get out of the house again after being stuck in during the winter.
What is your favourite food?
I'll give most things a try, Chinese maybe.
How many DVDs do you have?
I normally rent, but if I include the children's DVDs we have just over 50.
What is your favourite animal?
Cat, they like their independence.
What actor/actress would you NOT kick out of bed?
Richard Armitage, aka Lucas in Spooks or Guy of Gisburne in Robin Hood.
Thank you for chatting to us today Carol.
Visit Sparkly Things to see... well, more sparkly things :-)
