Monday again, where does the weekend disappear to??!!

Well, it's Monday again.  I'm sure the weekends are passing by more quickly than ever!

I've had a couple of custom orders to work on over the weekend and I've just finished one off.  It was a special request from a previous customer - a bracelet for her mother who had unfortunately just lost her brother.  It's made up of Swarovski pearls and crystals, sterling silver spacers and clasp and the finishing touch is a sterling silver angel charm.

The other piece I'm working on is a sparkly pink headband for a 3 year old to wear at a christening.  Pic to follow shortly.

A Craft Forum member has recently set up a new website for crafters to showcase their work.  It's free to sign up and non-crafters are encouraged to sign up to as there are links and details to the designers should they wish to purchase any items.  The site is called Crafty-Bitz.  This is a fab idea, like a 24/7 craft fair!  Please take a look, sign up and spread the word!

Hope you all have a great week! x

Don't you just love days off :o)

Well, I have a few days off work starting from today so aside from meeting up with some friends for lunch I'm hoping to get some more jewellery made for the wedding fayre on 20th February.  I made another tiara last night and I was really pleased with how it turned out.  The pics never do the designs justice, they're so much more sparkly in real life.  I'm hoping to get someone to model for me and have some professional pics taken to use on my website.

And here's another tiara which I made the other day.

Off now for a cuppa and to walk the dog.  Scamp joined the family in October last year.  He's a bichon/springer spaniel cross, full of fun and character!

Enjoy your day, everyone x

Going back to my roots!

Better late than never I guess.....Happy New Year everyone!

I first started jewellery making about 7 years ago doing tiaras and wedding jewellery.  I've missed doing bridal accessories so much that I decided before Christmas that with having a bit more time on my hands I'd go back to doing tiaras and wedding accessories.  I've  only just started getting back into it so I've not got many designs as yet but here are a few examples of my work....

You can view more of my designs on my SC Tiaras and Wedding Accessories page on Facebook.  I'm also working like crazy to get my SC Jewellery website back up and running and a website for my wedding accessories.  I'll update my Blog when it's all finished.

My Special Occasion Range

Been real busy the last week or so with lots of orders and creating my Special Occasion Jewellery range.....my range of handmade Swarovski crystal and pearl jewellery designed specifically with proms, weddings and other special occasions in mind. I have four designs so far and, if I do it right, pics are attached with this post! Feel free to comment on the designs....positive and negative comments are welcome as it all helps me to improve my work.
