Pendants at last.....

Well it's taken me a little while but I've finally finished the new glass tile pendants. It's been a busy week cleaning and throwing things out then I had a stall and a market. So I finally got into them at 1am this morning and finished the bails. I've taken some photos and listed them on the madeit site already, so I've included a couple of photos here to show you.

It was also my friend Jurgen's birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday to you Furgen!!! We had a great time at dinner last night.

I've also got some other news. I've opened a new shop on the Craftumi site (the sister site to madeit where you can buy all your craft supplies). My shop is called "BeadyBoo" and you'll find beads and findings that I have too many of or just don't use anymore. You'll find the link over on the right side of this blog under "links to my shops".
So that's all I have for the moment.... until next time. Bye!

I've been shopping....

Well I haven't made a start on any jewellery yet as I've found my work bench and the kitchen table are both full of junk.....so I've made a start on cleaning up. And I've done pretty well so far so hopefully I'll get a start on the glass tile pendants soon as they are selling like hotcakes on the madeit site!! Mum came around today with some boxes and plastic tubs so I can start to sort all my altered art bits and pieces. You don't realise how much you accumulate until it's time to clean up!
I thought I'd show you a couple of purses that I just had to buy! They are gorgeous little card wallets. I got them from a lady at the Sunbury Market who was selling them for her daughter in law. I think it was the bird designs that got me in the end as I just can't resist anything with birds on them. I reckon they'll be great for travelling with. She had florals and all sorts. Mum bought one with owls on it - very nice.
So that's all for now as I'm back to cleaning.
Cheers xx

Holidays.....

Well it has been a long time since I've updated the blog. I had computer problems for a little while and then I went on holidays with "the girls" to Bali. We go there every two years to shop and eat and of course we all had a great time.

I've included some pics of Bali for anyone interested.

I ate lots of nasi goreng and chicken satays. And I think I overdosed on watermelon juice as I've been suffering withdrawals since I came home!!

I went beserk shopping and have finished all the birthday and Christmas shopping for the year. And also got plenty of bags, clothes, and shoes for myself of course!!

So now that I'm back it's all about work. I need to find some inspiration to make new jewellery. Though I do have some new images that I'm going to use for the glass tile pendants.....I might make a start on those.

Cheers!!!

The new pendants.....

Finally, I've taken the photos of the new pendants, and they've all be listed into my madeit shop. There are lots of birds as I can't go past the birds.... and a variety of other images.....all ones that I like of course!

Have you noticed the new banner on my blog? I also have one in my madeit shop and my etsy shop. Renee from Thompson Designs made them up, I think she did a great job. To look at more of her work I've put a link under "my favourite blogs".

I looked in the mirror this morning and decided I need a change, so I'm off now to dye my hair purple. Not a bright purple, but a deep violet sort of colour. Hopefully this will do the trick!!!

I've been to the movies...

I still haven't started on the new workroom yet. I keep putting it off. I think I have to get a lot of containers first to sort through all my beads and things.
I went to the movies with Mum yesterday. We saw "Edge of Darkness" with Mel Gibson. I loved it..... bit of a thriller. I also watched "The Blind Side" with Sandra Bullock. It's based on a true story and it's a great movie, I highly recommend that one.
I had a friend around this morning, I was helping her make up some new postcards for advertising. Shirl does lovely slumped glass work. I've included a photo of one of her pieces.
I'm also busy making up more glass tile pendants today. They won't be ready for another couple of days yet as they have to dry between processes, but I have some great new images. I'll take photos once they're ready and put them on.

Josh's birthday.....

Hi again. Well today we went to a birthday lunch for my gorgeous nephew Josh. He turned 2 today. He is so beautiful, excited and talking about everything he notices.

I've still been busy here making jewellery trying to keep up. I've just listed 15 more glass tile pendants in my madeit shop. And I'm making more of the vintage brass items. I think it will start to slow down in another week or so when people stop getting gifts posted as they worry about them arriving in time. I'm still waiting on items myself. I ordered a couple of beautiful scarves..... I'll include a picture or two. I got one for mum for Christmas, and the other for myself. The colours are lovely. I ordered them from an Etsy shop called FlorasFinest.
