lots of photies (hopefully)

A beautiful red poppies bead by Mindy MacGregor of Moogin beads. I just adore this bead and I am seriously tempted to keep it but I am a jewellery maker not a collector! Well, whoever buys it will love it just as much I guess.

I hate posting photos

I just can't get to grips with how blogger places my photos - it never puts them where I think they're going to go and then I can never write any captions anywhere near them.
Grrr.....
Will have another go, I s'pose

Sunday morning

After a rather heavy night last night I am contemplating how to spend today. Yesterday and Friday I made some necklaces I am really happy with using Sterling silver chain and some lovely lampwork beads from Emma Ralph and Mindy McGregor. I might make some more but I really should take some photos and up load them, for all the world to see.

Upwards and onwards

Things are looking really good business-wise. I'm struggling to keep up with demand on jewellery and finally, the Ebay bead shop is beginning to come back to life!
Yeah!

busy weekend

Well, we've just had a really busy weekend.
Today, I have to shower, get Ebay parcels done, go to the doctor, order some furniture online, make 2 bracelets and a necklace for orders and then make a matching watch and necklace. And if I've got anytime after that (yeah, right!) I really should put the last two tiles (sink splashback) up in the bathroom.
Oh well, times a'wasting, off for my shower.

getting photos done

Slowly but surely, keep an eye on my website cos it's going to be soon that the first items are available for buying direct from my very own online shop!
How exciting!
But I have to actually get on and do it rather than blog about it.
My buddy Mark came over on Wednesday and took some shots of a few necklaces and earrings for me. I'm hoping to get them published on site over the next few days, and then follow up with some more as I get them.
That's the plan anyway, Dog knows how it will actually pan out. LOL.

YIKES!

Wow, I really didn't realise it had been soooooo long!
I think the bolo tie shenanigans just drained me! Anyway, it has gone off now to it's new home, thank Dog.
I've been really busy with jewellery making recently. I now have 3 farmers markets to do every month and 3 shops to keep stocked so I'm really chuffed with that. If I could just find time to take some (decent) photos for my website I would be sooperdooper happy!
Today I've got one ordered necklace to make, some ebay parcels to post and the bathroom to continue painting, 2nd coat of gloss and then the first coat of some 'features', and I wouldn't mind getting out into the garden (if you could call it that). On top of all that if the sun comes out I really should be taking some photos.
Then I could actually post some photos here. Wow, that would be a novelty!
