Decided to try to make a little extra cash whilst I train as a Police Officer (I got the job, yay!) So I spent the past few days making all this.

Please honestly tell me what you think!

VERY PICTURE HEAVY!

These look sweetest when wrapped twice around the neck so the star filled extensions fall alongside the kitty.

Kitties are an ear and a tail over an inch in size *wink*. I don’t believe they are official merchandise, but are well made and painted and very soft to the touch and cute!

I have more fabulous charms to use and ideas, I'm bustin' to go!

I have a few questions for you crafty folk:

1. Taking photos, any tips or ideas of how I can do better? I'm debating making a necklace stand from cardboard, which I saw on here a few days ago as it looks fab. Any other links or tips?
2. I'm debating joining craftster (I'm sure it's addictive though!) any other communities on here or on the net I could join?
3. Etsy, do people from the uk shop there? I'm happy to post worldwide, but I'm wondering if that will put people off.

And addictions... how many people here suffer from boxes full of things they 'probably' will use one day!? I can't be alone!
