A brand new look!

I have decided it's time for a change.  There will be new things to show, I'm stepping away from my jewellery, but I will still be making glass beads :)  New products will be on offer , there will be a new name and a new logo to go with it too.  It's all very exciting :D :D :D  I will also be transferring all of these changes to a brand new blog, which I will give you all the link to when it goes live :)
Thats about it for now, I must get back to making pretties!

Valentines Exchanges

At the moment I'm taking part in two lampwork bead Valentines themed exchanges... One, I have to make 3 heart beads and send them internationally to different people.. I will get 3 back from different people as well, what a fantastic idea, I am very excited to be able to participate in this one :)

The other exchange is more local, being organised by my fellow moderator Diana, and myself over on the beading forum. Everyone makes the same number of beads as there are participants, that are inspired by Valentines Day. Everyone sends away their beads to D, where she will distribute them out, so everyone will get 1 of the same type of bead. Sounds like fun huh? If you're interested, go on over and check it out, sign up is on until the 18th Feb :)

Have a great day

2011

Well, it has been some time since I wrote a blog post. Too long , in fact. In the time since my last post, I haven't been very creative, hardly made a thing at all! I have resigned from my job, and am happy at the prospect of being creative once again, trying out some different things and spending a whole lot more time with my beautiful children :)

School started back on Monday, the twins are now year 4 and my little Phoebe started prep, and still trying to adjust!

I am hoping to get some Valentines Day inspired beads happening in the next day or two, very much looking forward to making beads again :)

I am also considering having an auction of all the beads I have made in the last 12 months, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Grantham community. I wasn't affected by the floods directly, but many many people were and I would like to help out in some way :)

I will be holding the auction on my facebook page here

I'll be back in a couple of days with details and hopefully some Valentines Day beads to show off!

To market, to market

It has been a very busy few weeks. On the weekend on 5 and 6th November, Christmas In The Country art and craft show was on and in full swing! It was a huge week of setting up with all the other committee members. It really was all worth the huge effort we put in, a very successful event for our 20th year! Here are a few piccies :

And some beautiful stalls from the weekend
