Stitched buttons.....

You wouldn't believe it, but this bloody parotitis keeps recurring. I've got to have an ultrasound tomorrow so they can figure out what's going on. At least it's not constant now, just every now and again.
I've been busy though making some new items. This week I've used stitched buttons and made more bobby pins, bracelets, some rings, and earrings. I've included a couple of photos of the earrings. I used rubber backs on these ones as I find them more comfortable. Cute hey?
I'm also very pleased to say that I've had a number of wholesale orders recently for my glass tile pendants....they seem to be doing very well of late.
Well, I'm off to visit my friend with her hairless cat Romeo.......though he's not exactly hairless anymore as he's grown a short coat of fur over most of his body!!
Cheers for now. xx

Getting better.....

Well I can't say much has happened this week. I missed the markets on the weekend as I still wasn't well enough to go, so there's no news there. But I am much better now and am going to Sunshine Market tomorrow. Hopefully it won't rain too much and we'll get a few people there.
I'm showing a bracelet I made this week using cherry quartz, brass, and glass beads. It's a bit different but I like it.....I love the colours. I haven't come up with a name for it yet, so does anyone have any suggestions?
Blessings, xxx.

Where has the time gone?

So where has the time gone? I notice that it's been almost a month since I was here last. I've been sick for the past couple of weeks with something called parotitis.....I'd never heard of it before. But basically I've had a lump sticking out of my neck with a high temperature and throat infection. But I am feeling much better now.
I've haven't been making anything for the last two weeks so I'll show you a necklace I made for a friend about a month ago. My friend doesn't like the feeling of metal on her neck so I used a ribbon made from pure silk so it is soft. She loves the necklace, and with the ribbon she can easily adjust the length of the necklace to suit her and what she's wearing on the day......I'm glad it all worked out. I think it looks a little strange at first, but it does look great on.
So I'd better get back into things now as I have markets on the weekend. Bye for now. xx
