Beads today

Well after the sewing bug has had hold of me for a while...I am finally back at the beads....new heater has warmed the shedio up enough for me to venture out. Had a play with implosion beads yesterday, great fun and lovely results, so it's more of the same today, hopefully better as I learnt a few little tricks along the way yesterday.....
My first proper doll is gorgeous will post pics in a bit....very pleased with her, she's called Viola, and is the first of many I think. It's very satisfying to sew, something incredibly relaxing about it. Be back later....M xxx

New goodies in the shop

Have spent 2 days photographing and listing lots of new jewellery and beads in the shop....please take a look.www.rockpooljewels.com

Been gone soooo long!

Been absolutely ages since I blogged...the snow has put a stop to my lampworking, it's sooooo cold in the studio that I have had to go back to my second love which is sewing :) Doing well though, made some pretty cushions and a lovely doll, actually loved making the doll and may get more involved with this lovely craft. Planning to get back out to the bead shed soon though, have lots of ideas swimming around, so can't wait to try them out.
 Adios amigos,
