Sizzling in the sunshine!!

Well what a sizzling hot day it's been today.  I hope this is a sign of things to come and we can look forward to a bit more sunshine over the next few weeks. If you missed the sunshine maybe some of the wonderfully colourful work by our Frit happens members can bring you a bit of colour.

These beads from Raspberryrings make me think of summer dresser, bright colourful and very summery. Or how about this beautiful blossom from Midgetgems very warm !!

For a final bit of summer sunshine I love this beautiful bracelet from Pandanimal, totally tropical!!
