Busy Busy Busy

Well it's definitely Christmas! I've been busy with commissions.

Advent Calender

I finally found one!! Got it from a newsagents on my way to work on Wednesday. I was so happy because I thought this would be the first year I didn't have one. So I got to work and caught up....12 little chocolates....heaven and a bit of a sugar rush!

BUT

Not only did I catch up, I overtook! I got home that night and carried on eating the little chocolates. I finished it about 10 minutes ago. I have no self control. But at least I ate them in order.
Maybe next year I shouldn't have one.

Nothing new on the website but I do have loads of orders at the moment. 4 for Xmas, 5 for after, a gift for my surprise Santa with the Portsmouth girlies and some other little things. Busy busy busy!

Website is live!!
There's only 1 item for sale at the moment but there will be more added soon.
This is exciting but slightly scary......bring it on!

A Time To Hybernate

I was asked to make a bracelet with a hedgehog charm (not easy to find!) and autumn colour beads. This bracelet had a sterling silver hedgehog as a focal with glass flower and leaf beads, brown crackle beads, round wood beads and glass pearl beads all in various autumn colours. There are a few Swarovski crystals dotted around too.

The website is looking good, just need to wait for my .co.uk domain that I bought months ago to be transferred and then it'll be up and running!

Construction site......

......of the virtual variety!
I've decided to take the plunge and set up my own website to sell my jewellery. At the moment I'm designing my site banner and making jewellery to sell. It's a big step and I'm not even sure if it'll work but it's worth a go.

On a more depressing note, it's 1st December and I don't have an advent callender. This is wrong and needs to be sorted......soon!

Blue and Purple Bracelet

This is a commission bracelet made using a silver foil purple heart focal with Swarovski crystal, blue and purple glass cubes, blue glass crackle beads, blue and purple glass silver foils beads, purple glass pearl beads and blue faceted firepolish beads.

A Bit More Amber

A friend had an idea to make her housemate a bracelet using the amber chips left over from the necklace......so she came round, got a bit hyper and threw my beads around, whilst I was trying to make the bracelet. I made it....she was happy....and hyper.....and hungry! But she makes me laugh and is a damn good friend.....here's the bracelet.

Autumn

A friend asked me to make her mum a necklace with dark red, dark green and rusty coloured beads........so I did this! All glass beads, Swarovski crystals and crackle beads with silver plated spacer beads. Oh and it's really really long!

Amber

A friend and I saw a necklace in a local jewellery shop that was a little bit on the expensive side! It was amber nugets with silver spacers. I said I'd have a go at making her one to match a dress she has......and this is what happened. It's 42cm, has 4 different shades of natural amber chips, sterling silver round spacer beads and Swarovski crystal bicones in topaz, light topaz and crystal AB.

Nothing's Ever Black and White

I was asked to make a friend's sister a bracelet using black, white and grey beads and this is what I came up with. It includes silver coloured metal rose beads and a heart focal, black and white cats eye beads, black faceted glass beads, white and grey silver foil beads, black and clear Swarovski crystals, clear hearts, white crackle and black cube beads. I love this bracelet and I think I might just be making myself one!
