Playing with my Copics again which is great as I feel my mojo coming back a bit, I think I'm trying to do to much with the kids, business & charity, also my hubs has just moved back home after a two year stink of working away so I have decided to try let go a bit more of the third.

I am very much in the mind of, if i do it myself it gets done and its hard letting other folk take on rolls with the charity but I really have to, we have some great new people on board and they are very capable of taking some of the work load off me :) I'll keep you updated lol
These are some of the gorgeous gemstones that we took delivery off this week, I just love the earthy colours, might have to hang onto these ones and order my lovely customers in some more lol It's my birthday today and just thought i'd pop this wee guy up cause I made him yesterday and her really made me smile :D

Took delivery of some truly beautiful beads this week :) Its busy busy trying to keep up with my beaders appetite but also means we can bring you lots of great new beads & the best bit is seeing my beaders get all excited about the new stock(I have to be pc by saying beaders as I now have quite a few men making jewellery!!)

You don't really get a great idea of how wonderful the colours are in this range as ,y pics aren't the best lol

We have most of our new stock in ready and waiting for our fabby space, just a couple still to arrive like Paperartsy & Stamping Bella from the States, megga excited about that one :)

Customer Orders

Got some more customer orders sorted today, the lush pink one is for a Head Teacher from the primary school I done the fair at, she really wanted something pink but came to the table too late, that village really love pink I was sold out!!!

The second is for a customer from my jewellery website, I don't know what it is but I love working with that colour. It's not exactly what they where looking for but my supplier is out of stock of the bugles that I needed to add to it so I hope they like it.

Now my big mix up one was just made to use up a few single lampwork beads that I had left, I didn't have enough to make a full bracelet so opted to add more green, sterling silver round beads, some Bali silver caps & swarovski crystals. It was a bit of trial end error but I just love the final result so this one won't be up for sale I'm afraid.
