Gifts for a Fairy godmother

It was my godmothers birthday last week, I had one idea in my mind for a while about what I was going to make for her, but at the last minute I changed my mind. I was in work and an idea came to me of using the small mirrors I have, to make a brooch.
I used 3 small round mirrors, a jem I found in one of my tubs and a pin back.

I then bought some more smaller lava stone beads for earrings and put the turquoise shell beads with them.

I bought this cute little round display box for them and put some purple felt in to cover them top and bottom.

I have two creations to add today. One I made a few weeks back, but was only received today(cheeky lady opened it early hehe) and the other is a (as usual) late mother's day gift.

This is a bracelet I made for a friends birthday. I love the colour turquoise and on this shell it looks very pretty. To make it a little less girly for her, I added the black beads.

I made these next items for my mam, for Mother's Day, she called me today to let me know she got them, which was cool as I only sent them Monday!
I used the lava stone beads I got for xmas. I just love them so much, I saw they a lot of different shapes and sizes in the craft shop, so I hope to buy more in the future. I have one bead left, which I have earmarked for a ring ;)
I bent the wire ( copper plated covered in silver plating) into shape by hand. The earrings were pretty easy to make, again I used the wire to make eye pins and popped the beads right on.

I wrapped them in a tiny plastic bag and put them in a converted tea leaf container. I pasted my label on the outside and put some dried rose petals inside, for cuteness and my mam's name is Rose. I am very cheezy..

I painted a purple/green glitter heart on the top, to cover the tea's name.

Next on my list is anniversary gift for the boyfriend!! Something games related, I think.
