Catching Up....Plus 100 Etsy Sales!

I finally hit and surpassed 100 sales on Etsy! Hurrah! To celebrate, I'm having a sale!  Use the code HAPPY100 for 25% off for the next 7 days! 

I also treated myself to some Moogin beads.  I saw Lorelei Eurto posting on her blog about Moogin lampwork beads and once I visited Mindy's shop I fell in love! These beads are even better in the flesh, I received them this morning and they had me drooling! So much so that they won't be made into anything to be sold on, I shall be creating something for myself with them, we will not be parting ways! 





I've also treated myself to the new range of Vintaj patina's, they should be arriving shortly, can't wait!! 

And my final treat was Lorelei and Erin's Bohemian Inspired Jewelry book. I do most of my "jewelry reading" whilst at my desk, which also houses my PC, so for me, an ebook is preferable over the paper copy, plus you don't have to wait for delivery, instant gratification!  I've always wanted to use fibre in my designs but always shied away from it because I was unsure of how to finish things off professionally! I don't have that excuse anymore! Fabulously informative book and the projects look amazing! Highly recommend it! 


Not blogged for a longggg old time! Easy enough to get out of the habit I suppose.  The thing with me is I hate taking photographs and editing pictures, it bores me. I much prefer creating! So as a result, I tend to just create a lot of stuff and then do the pictures all at once, hence me not having "blogging material" on a regular basis. 

I've also been busy with studying. I started a degree at the beginning of the year in Criminology & Psychology. It's going really well so far but I do find it difficult balancing my time between all the things I have to do! 

Anyway, ere are a few new creations from me, most of which are available in my Etsy store. Some have already been sold.
