Etsy shop restocked - and my eyes are melting ...

Yes, I have finally got round to updating my blog, and my poor neglected Etsy shop, which you can see here.  It seems to have taken me the whole wretched weekend to take photos, edit them, resize them (and what a palaver that one is, too!), upload them and then write lots of blurb about them.  I shall be going back to work for a rest tomorrow!

I don't seem to have produced too much recently, although I did force myself to use up some of the lovely focals and orphan lampwork beads in my (ever-increasing) stash, such as this lovely tree bead by Karen Baildon - I'm a real sucker for trees and leaves!  So there are lots of new pendants available, including this Amazon wire pendant, as well as a necklace made with leaves (of course!), flowers and beads, all made from wire.  I also made myself some tree earrings to go with the New Year pendant.

I did manage to tidy my desk (again - when will I ever learn?) and it's quite inspirational having lots of space to create in again - a bit like a blank sheet of paper waiting for the words to fill it.  Now I just need to find the time to enjoy it - remind me again, where did the weekend go? :O

Hacking and Packing.

As I have a holiday coming up, it's completely standard for the temperature to drop several degrees, and for me to be walloped with the illness stick.  Nothing serious, just a really irritating cough (ask my hubby) and a lovely thumping headache to accompany it.  After several nights of sleeping on the sofa, hacking away, I actually managed a whole night without a coughing fit last night, so things are looking up!  I'd never realized before, though, that tickly cough medicine is just liquid sugar.  Which explains why a: it doesn't work and b: it only comes in 'non drowsy' and doesn't help at all with the sleeplessness ...

Anyway, what with the coughing and trying to iron enough holiday clothes to allow for every possible variation of English weather (believe me, we've experienced them all), I haven't got too much done on the jewellery front.  I did manage a commissioned bracelet for my stepmum (which I shall be delivering whilst on holiday), a necklace using a lovely lampwork focal bead by Beverley Edge, and another filigree pendant.  Oh, and I was lucky enough to win - yes, I actually won something! - some fabulous polymer clay beads by Hazel Ward of Continuum Designs, which of course I had to make into a bracelet for yours truly.  Hey, trust me, I never win anything!  Check out Hazel's Etsy shop - her beads are truly beautiful.

So, I'll be back soon with some holiday photos and possibly the odd bead (I've heard there might be a bead shop in the vicinity, but shhh - don't tell hubby ... ) - until then, ta-ra! :)
