I love seeing what happens to my components after they've been sent to their new home!
Yesterday, I saw this gorgeous bracelet which has one of my hammered sterling silver toggle clasps on and I just had to share it with you all
I'm a member of the Frit Happens Forum Etsy Team (fhfteam if you're searching for us on Etsy!). We have our own blog and this week one of our members (Jo, Kitzbitz)has picked out her Pick of the Week - Gifts.
I am pleased to say that I'm included!! Jo has selected a pair of my nest earrings - these have been really popular at my last few events, I think the v-wires are really attracting people this season.
Please check out the rest of our team's shops on Etsy - you can find a complete listing HERE there really are some fabulous pieces of work available from our members at the moment.
That just about sums up how I feel at the moment! I'm not sure if I'm coming or going, my home life is chaotic at the moment, and the problem with that is that its reflecting on my business time.
I have a severe lack of time, and now I've got shows fast approaching. Panic is starting to set in!! I've had to bring some equipment home with me as I just don't have time to go to the studio for the day at the moment. Part of my kitchen is transformed into a work area much to my husband's dismay!
Hopefully though, that means I will actually have some work to show soon! I've got some cufflinks on the go, a couple of pendants and some stud earrings. Nowhere near enough for a display!!
At the moment, it isn't actually a work in progress, because I haven't started making, although I do know exactly what I'm going to make.
I have a couple of craft fair events coming up, and so I really want to make a statement with what the Fired Silver brand is all about. Here's the beads
I haven't been very good at blogging lately have I - I really must try harder!
Things are really busy here at the moment - I'm hopefully creating a new business that will continue to grow and generate a regular income for me. That business is Tiny Charms, I have been creating keepsake jewellery for friends and family for a few years now, but have never made it a proper business. As news was spreading around friends of friends, the inevitable question of "have you got a website?" kept coming up, and so I decided it really was time to do something about it!!
It has been a lot of work to get it to the stage its currently at, and its nowhere near finished! I hope to have the full fingerprint range up this week. Then I'll move on to the art ranges and hand/foot print ranges.
Of course, me being the way I am, having just the basic ranges isn't enough for me! I will be adding a designer collection as well. I have lots of ideas bubbling around for designs, but they'll just have to wait!
I knew that when I launched this site, I'd want to work with some charities, so I will be donating a percentrage of my profits to FSID and Tommy's. Both charities fit in really well with Tiny Charms, and the FSID in particular is important to me personally, so I'm really happy to be able to give something to them.
I have set up a Tiny Charms Blog and I could really do with some followers! Please if you think this may be of interest to you, or people that you know, pass the link on. The more business I can generate, the more money goes to the charities.
I am really thrilled to be attending the Christmas at Capesthorne Hall event. I'll be selling my jewellery, but I'll also be demonstrating how to use PMC.
Capesthorne Hall is a beautiful Jacobean style country house, set in 100 acres.
Its been a busy few days, but I had a fabulous night last Thursday at the Made by Mummy event in Wilmslow. Here's all of us after a long night!
