Floral Display

Last week was one of those weeks where nothing much got done but there was a lot going on…rather a case of ‘ever decreasing circles’!  Anyway – it might be a little bit late but I thought I would do a delayed post from the end of last week and try to catch up with [...]

Sunday Play Time

This Sunday had the potential for being a really depressing one.  I have had ‘the dreaded lurgy’ for the past couple of days and have been feeling very sorry for myself.  I only had one and a half grams of precious metal clay left to work with (as my new order hasn’t been delivered yet) [...]

What a BEE…uty!!!

I had a day off today!  I couldn’t resist the lure of the beautiful sunshine any longer…it would have been a sin to confine myself to a windowless cupboard (where I do my precious metal clay work) or a damp and dim shed (where I make my chains).  So I took myself to Norton Priory [...]

Back to the Jewellery Making…..

Just a quick post to give you an update to what I did with that little pmc (precious metal clay) pendant I showed you on the 12th March…not that it was exactly challenging but I had to decide which way round to hang it!….tough one eh??!! Anyway, I went with the predictable and hung it [...]

mmmmm…donuts!!

Well, I had hoped to get a few chains made before lunch today – but life has conspired against me!!  Perhaps I will get some done later.  Today is such a beautiful day…sunny, and dare I say it…WARM!!  Perhaps I should use the rest of the day to get the garden organised for spring…  I [...]

Happy Day ‘Hippy’ Bracelet

Today has been a great day!!  My son came home from his 3 week holiday in Thailand – where he had a motorbike accident on day 3.  I was so relieved to see him in much better condition than I expected.  He still has stitches that need removing and is missing a tooth but otherwise [...]

Flower Madness!!

I did say that I would probably only get round to adding post every couple of days – and that is the plan…it’s just that I’m having a bit of a creative ‘splurge’ at the moment and I can’t wait to do a bit of showing off!!  That is what comes from living in a [...]

DAISY CHAIN

Well, here it is – that pretty little chain that got me all excited yesterday!!  It hasn’t been put in the tumbler yet so it is lacking that extra touch of ””BLING”” that it gets with a good tumble! It all started with me looking again at one of my first and least inspiring chains [...]

I’m Back…Sort Of!!

I got my computer back – briefly – on Saturday, but that was just to try and rescue my stuff from the hard drive ( yes, I know I should be backing everything up but…!)  Anyway, it has gone again to get the hard drive replaced and then I should have it back on Wednesday.  [...]

MY COMPUTER JUST DIED!

Oh well, all my plans to post regularly on my new blog have come to nothing!  I am writing this on a borrowed laptop, which I am grateful for but I am having great trouble getting used to it.  I sat down with my ‘elevensies’ (a nice cup of tea) on Tuesday and turned on [...]
