Oh Dear... Shes done it again...


What did I say about a month ago about me never being happy... well I'm sure I didn't say that exactly but I always have to change things, I don't like things being the same for too long, and I needed to update some beads on my website, so what did I go and do?!?! I know I'm a fool!

But from now on my website will hold beads for no longer than a couple of weeks and they will be transferred to my Etsy shop. At the moment I have only 6 bead set and 5 focals... a couple of new bits on there so please do check it out here.

Still not feeling good and am in the designated "ill persons" spot on the sofa luckily Wednesday and Thursday was my day off... so I am hoping that will give me enough time to recover to 100% to go back to work on Friday! Keep sending me those get well vibes!!!

Sigh... back on the sofa with flu... yet again

Well this is like the 3rd time I've had flu in like 5 months and I'm seriously getting fed up with it! I NEED A BODY TRANSPLANT PLEASE!!!! I can laugh about it really... It strarted when Matthew came home on monday with FLU and has been sat the sofa up until about an hour ago as he is all better now (well apart from the dreadful lingering cough!!!) and now me and Fran arn't well... I've just ordered a load of sterling silver beads/findings for my wedding jewellery which is exciting. It has taken me 5 days to decided what to spend my money on and I finally did it, between coughing, sneezeing etc!!! Will try to keep my brain working, cuz I hate been totally incapable of doing things!!!! Watch this space!!!

Laura shows us hows its done...

Just thought I'd share this with my fellow lampworkers, and maybe people are curious to how a glass bead is made. One thing with me is I really don't learn how to do things by just reading... If anything I need photos to accompany the writting... or I learn the best by seeing things done either in video or in real life!!! Like when I went for my lesson with Sally Carver for the day, I learnt so much, and that was literally by watching Sally work!

Drum Roll please........

I'm Back!!!


Hello Kitty Pendant

Sorry for the lack of blogging recently... I am working 50hours (ish) a week at the restaurant and I'm sleeping like 8-10 hours a night so all in all not getting as much time as I would hope to make beads, make jewellery and blog all the time... if you haven't already, please read the post about my amazingly talented brother here.

I am very excited that I am working with a lady to make her wedding jewellery, for her, her mum and her bridesmaid, so tomorrow I will be picking and spending a bit of money on some sterling silver which I am very excited about... I am hoping to set up a website for wedding jewellery... Ooooh, I have so many ideas, so little time... I wonder how many off them I can pull off... Hehe.

Here are some Beadies....
