Winter Market in Liverpool

I will be attending this event as a stall holder...can't wait...lots to do but very exciting. Hope it's really busy, there are carols and mince pies and general christmassyness so it should be a lovely day!

I probably won't come out of the shedio now for a fortnight!!! lol

Beads from yesterday!

Had a go at key beads, these are a bit of a revelation to me, I have always loved fancy keys anyway, and often pick unusual old keys up from different places, now that I can add glass to them it takes them to a whole new level! only made 2 so far but love it. also been making more organic beads, using silvered glass to good effect too in the new torch..so here they are anyway

Buzy buzy beader!

Goodness me, I have been away from my blog for ages! Been exceptionally busy trying to organise my stash of beads for a potential Christmas market eeek what have I got myself into? also been slowly but surely learning how to make bead again on my new torch setup, think I have finally found the secret, at least the beads are coming out nice and round now so that's a start eh? Been trying my hand at key beads too, and very nice they are too....all will be revealed very soon. Anyway another day in the studio beckons, after I have walked the dog and done some surfing......lol

Catwalk today!

Going to see my gorgeous girl strut her stuff on the catwalk at Circo in the Albert Dock  later.. she has been doing 4 or 5 shows a day this week and is absolutely shattered..bless her...she hides it well though.
Been ordered to take the camera with me :) and get on the front row, wish me luck with that one, I can't run in heels :)

Busy week!

Had a super busy week this week with one thing and another...hardy any torch time at all. Going to make some prototypes today see if they work out....

Off to Ikea for beds in a bit, exciting! but got my gorgeous little niece and nephew staying on Saturday night, so it's popcorn and disney films all day....can't wait.

Anyways later folks......

Lovely weekend and sorting stuff out!

Had a great time in Stafford as I knew we would...can't really go wrong if the wine and conversation are flowing eh?
Oh and it was sunny too...bonus :)

Have spent yesterday and today on a big clear out mission, got loads onto ebay, will miss all my jewellery making stuff, but hopefully I will get into the silver smithing soon, and will be able to replace it. Thing is it's pointless keeping things you won't use again isn't it? May as well go to a good home, and it all helps the lampworking kitty too.

Had a nice day today so far, like having a clear out, seems to clear your head out too!
Off to the shedio to be creative.....
