Well, Wow what a week, I am still catching up on sleep! I had the best time with my friends!!! any way... what do think to these penguins up there ^ My new little penguin parade... I absolutely loved making these little cuties!!! I am going to make some more right now :-D you can buy these for either £9 each or the whole family for £30 on my website... check it out!

The lucky thing is it's Frans Birthday next Thursday and we both have the week off as of Saturday ... so as much stuff as I have got to do, it will be really nice just to chill out for a bit, before I work as many hours as I can over xmas at the reastuarnt because come January there really isn't gunna be any hours going!

Another thing I am working on is some wedding jewellery here are a couple of bracelets I have made so far... let me know what you think.

Guess who has got their personal license!!!???!!!

That's right, I took the qualificaition course on monday, didn't want to tell anyone til I knew I had got it... and I got 37 out of 40 correct so I'm well pleased with myself!!!

On Wednesday I went to suprise my bestest friend in the world ... she flew over from irealand!!! it was amazing her reaction... she couldn't quite believe that we had met her there it was brill... we went out on the wednesday night and then went shopping on thursday!!! we had a great great time!!! and I'm going back to see her tomorrow after I finish work at 4!!! I'm so excitable!!! I love having her here and I miss her so much when she is in ireland! The picture above is of me and maggie on wednsday night!

Swirly Wirly - Scrolly Wolly...

So another week... working hard at the restaurant... and doing as much beadies as I can, but as its getting colder the harder it is getting! In the room where I make my beads I have a patio door which leads out to the back yard... as I don't have any ventilation system installed I have to have the patio door open whilst I'm making my beads. Now... as it's getting dark around 4 o'clock I have the problem of moths.... daddy long legs and flies coming in because of the light... it's horrible... not only do they scare me when they fly at me... most of them fly through the top of the flame and die... which I hate so so so so so so so so sooooooo much!!! And it is absolutly freezing at night now so pretty much I want and have to start making my beads in the morning... must start getting up nice and early!!! Ohmy gosh... i waffle so much and have used so so so many "..."!!! sorry about that, anyway, this set above is on my website ready to purchase, so head over and have a look! :-) Hope everyone is well!

YIPPEE!!!!

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........
