Excited!

I'm pretty excited at the minute.  There was an ad in our local paper looking for crafty people who'd be interested in hiring a stall at a weekly craft fair during the Summer.  It's something that the local Government are organising and it's being held in a prime position on Douglas Promenade (Douglas is our capital town).  It'll be great for passing trade and tourists looking for holiday presents.  I emailed the contact and she's sending me some more info once the fine details have been finalised.  We never get the chance to do anything like this on the island so I'm hoping this will be a chance to get my name known and bring me lots of business.  Can't wait!

Wonderful wire!

I'm loving working with wire at the moment.....although my poor stabbed fingers aren't!  It's amazing what you can come up with just by bending and twisting a little piece of wire.  I've just finished a couple of bracelets which incorporate beads and wrapped loops (will post pics tomorrow) and I'm real pleased with them.  Using wire instead of Beadalon/crimps/calottes seems to make designs so much more secure.

I'm doing my second prize draw on Facebook next week....going to give away a bracelet.

I've had a couple more orders directly through my site this week, that's very heartening as you know then that people are finding you out there!

Thank Crunchie it's Friday tomorrow :o)

Edited to add a pic of one of the bracelets.

Here's another charm style bracelet.  I sat up until midnight making this last night but I'm pleased with how it's turned out.  The pretty dragonfly charm makes a nice finishing touch.

Nice weather for ducks!

Bah, was going to take some pics of my new designs....my Pink Blush necklace, bracelet and earrings....but the weather is rubbish on the Isle of Man today, pouring with rain, dark and gloomy :o(

Will see if it clears up after lunchtime and try and get some pics posted.

On a positive note I've sold my Spring Blossom bracelet pictured below.  Sold it to a lovely lady based here on the island.  She also bought 3 pairs of earrings.  Doesn't it make you feel great when people appreciate your designs so much that they buy them :o)

Well, here are my latest creations.

I've not had chance to update my blog for a while, been so busy!  I've got lots of orders to do and I'm organising an event at my youngest boys school on Friday 21st May....it's a Mums/Ladies Night.  I'll be there with my jewellery along with lots of other traders/businesses like Phoenix Trading, The Body Shop At Home, The Pampered Chef etc.  It's a lot of hard work doing all the organising and getting my jewellery all ready for it but I'm really looking forward to it, it should be a great night. 

I'm working on some new designs but I'm not putting them for sale on Facebook or my website yet, I'll be keeping them until the Mums Night event.  Might put some pics up on here though to give you all a sneaky preview.

Hello new followers!

OOooo, I now have 15 followers.....thanks!

Not having a great day today!  Do you ever have one of those days when you have so much to do that you just can't get round to starting any of it, if that makes sense?!  Well, that's how I am today.  I've got orders to do, new designs to make, paperwork to do and packing for my house move to get done!  My head's whirling!

Spring is on it's way.

I'm on a roll with these charm style bracelets.  This is my Spring Blossom bracelet.  The green of the cat's eye beads and glass leaf beads is quite vibrant and bright but, suprisingly, it goes really well alongside the delicate pink of the other beads and crystals.  It's finished with a pretty sterling flower charm by the clasp.

All of my designs can be viewed and purchased on my website or my Facebook fan page.
