It's so cold here!

The weathe here is miserable at the moment, which is unusual for this time of year. Rain, thunder, lightening and cold!!!!! I don't like i wish the summer would come back!! But I guess the rain is good for the garden. I've been been busy making two more necklaces. One is a flower necklace, I handmade the flowers from fimo, and added lots of wire and swarovski crystals. I am entering this into to a competition, and they like big pieces, I've seen the stuff before and I don't think I would wear any of it!! The second is a necklace I made using some lampwork beads by Julie-www.lushlampwork.co.uk. I was lucky enough to be given these beads from a ten bead challenge-extra, she's so kind. I added a few Swarovski (as per normal!) and bob's your uncle. No sign of my lamp working kit yet, I'm getting so fustrated as I know that it is in the country!!! I have improved my website, so why don't you pop over there and have a look-and don't forget my christmas sale!!

More Beads and Christmas Sale!

Well, you've proberbly been wondering what this cornish maid has been up to lately, as always busy-busy, I hardly seem to stop in the day what so ever, and then in the evenings I'm on the computer and making bead or jewellery. I have some new polymer clay beads.

A focal called All in a whirl, a small pillow bead set named All mixed up,

and a purple and aqua set called Fantasy Twists. All of them can be found on my website for sale, go on have a look! I would also like to announce that I have done something crazy-there is a Christmas Sale on my website-to make christmas shopping a lot more easier and pleasant for you, some of my jewellery and beads have been reduced!

Just so you know Turkey has been cold and wet for the past few days, my washing is wet, and today I have felt cold-I don't like it, I hope it gets a little bit nicer soon, although I doubt it now, most of the tourists have gone home and it feels like winter! I am waiting for a lampworking kit to arrive soon!! Can't wait, I don't even know if I'i be able to make my own glass beads, but I'm ready to have a go-don't know until you try!

Pixie Earrings

I have been so busy lately, updating my website, and making a few changes, making polymer clay beads, and a little bit of jewellery too. I feel like I never stop, I'm always doing something!! These are my newest earrings. I called them Pixie, becuase they have been made my two cornish maids!! I got the beads from Tania Grey (www.tanofcourse.co.uk), who is a lampwork designer from Cornwall, also I'm from Cornwall too!!! I really love these lampwork beads, lots of different colours to play with, and I've course I added my favourite Sworvski Crystals, I wire wrapped the bottom loops, and added sterling silver ear pieces.

I will show you some pictures of my latest polymer clay beads soon, but if you would like a sneeky peck they are on my website, and I have some more to sand and buff tonight, although I am feeling so tired, my hubbies cousins visited today with there young chidren and it has apsolutely exhausted me-more than shopping!!! Tomorrow I am going to spend a few hours wprking so my hubbie can go and watch football! We use to work together in the same shop, so if he would like to go and do something special I fill in for him-I am stand in manageress!!!

Hi there, sorry I haven't been around for a while. I've been feeling a little bit poorly lately, all from some naty tablets the doctor gave me, but I am feeling much better today-lets hope it stays that way now. I made this seed beady necklace, I've never done anything like this before, and I enjoyed it, I don't know how pleased I am with the end result, but I enjoyed learing all the new techique, becuase I have been feeling unwelllately it took me 2 weeks (in the eve) to make!!! But no rush, things haven't been moving very fast lately, unfortunately, my hubbie keeps telling me there are no good quality customers around at the mo, but I would love to sell just one more piece before all the tourists pack up and go home. Thanks for reading, and keep watching this space.

Fairy Wishes!

Hello All! Time for another picture this is my newest piece, called Fairy Wishes. I am very pleased with this as it is the first time I have used

wire wrapping on headpins. I used glass flower beads, seed beads, Czech Crystal, Swarovski bicones, hearts, butterflies and pearls to complete this. I also added a little fairy charm too. The only question is to keep this or to sell it, I really love it and it took me ages to make, but in another way I would love to sell it too. I just can't decide, at the end of the day you can't keep everything you make for yourself can you!!!!

Weather is getting cooler now, which is making jewellery creating a lot easier!!! I have itching like mad though!! I got bit by a spider the other day and came up in a rash everywhere!!! Hubbie took me to the hospital for an injection, it went away really quickly but it is back again now, although not so bad!!!! What a thing!!!!

Ocean Jasper

Here I am again, and what an exciting day!!!! Nic, from the Uk beaders Forum came to Turkey for a holiday, in my home town, so we met up, and talked about life and beads!!! It was fab because I have no one to talk to beads with-I talk to hubbie, my 2year old daughter and my Mum and Dad, but they don't have a passion for beads, if you know what I mean. It was lovely to toss ideas two and fro. It would be so lovely to be part of an English group here, just to meet up, and share ideas about beading etc. Nicola also treated me to one of her Dichronic pendant necklaces, which is beautiful, and a nice petite size for me, I will show you a picture soon. I love it, and the gemstone beads she also gave me-what a treat.

I am waiting for another bead order and a couple of books to arrive, can't wait-one is about seed beading which I thought I might have ago at through the winter.

Here is my new Bracelet, named Natural Jasper made from Ocean Jasper Ovals, and lots of Swarovski crystal bicones in natural earthy colours. The Ocean Jasper just feels so shiney and silky in your hands, can't stop feeling it! Thanks for reading again, and hope to post some more new stuff soon, as I am busy making at the mo!
