bit sick of spam

It seems to be everywhere, and not the edible type which when in the mood can be quite nice! The forum of a craft site i am on has been taken over by spam, also misi which was once a great site is now over run with spam and people selling iphones!
long story short, i no longer use misi due to the owner not responding to any problems!
Now everytime i come on my blog i have spam messages from people selling diamond engagement rings argh!


I don't know weather to carry on blogging or give up?



Anyway enough of my moaning, here are some pictures of some hairclips i have made. I have set up a bits and bobs section on my website which features hair clips, headbands, glasses chains and phone charms. Check it out www.lej-jewellery.co.uk :0).

belated merry christmas wishes

Merry christmas to my readers, again i have neglected my blog :(. I am going to start this year alot more positive and do my best to raise my business name :0).

I have been making alot of fashionable jewellery but i haven't been able to take any photo's due to my camera braeking around the middle of december. So here are some older pictures of my makes which are still available on my website.

They are 2 angel charm necklaces, silver plated, one with teal glass beads and the other has moonstone gemstone beads.
My hubby bought me a new camera for christmas so hopefully once the kids are back in school i'll get back into the swing of it :0).
My website by the way is having a massive clearout :0) www.lej-jewellery.co.uk

I've been quite busy with christmas coming up and with my daughter only being in nursary i have 3 hours each morning to run round like a headless chicken getting everything ready.
I have been making jewellery again, i did a fair (it went ok), got a new car, still haven't sold the house and spent an absolute fortune this christmas!
Here are some of my latest pieces...
moon and star earrings


star fish earrings ( i think these have now been reduced)

christmas shopping

I thought this morning i would go to the local shopping centre and get some of the kids stuff from argos while they were in school. Got there. waited in line thinking 'hmm, everyone else had the same idea by the looks of it' so i got to the till and only then did i notice a BIG sign saying the conveyor belt was off today and tomorrow so it may take a bit longer for goods to come up'. It didn't take too long but the woman behind serving everyone was having a right go about how there working there hardest to keep the store open and people are going to be moaning because it's taking so long! really i didn't see anyone moaning just people waiting in line for there stuff!
Anyway i then had to lug a big bag back to the car and have to find somewhere to hide it now lol.
Here are some focals i have made, first is a seashell

Next is a clear focal with blue stripes

And last a ivory pendant with pink swirls.

They are all listed on my website www.lej-jewellery.co.uk and are £3.

wow it has been so long

Well it seems that way although i think it has only been about a month but i am sorry to say that i have neglected my blog :0(. I have been concentrating on so much other stuff. I have opened a etsy shop but it isn't going anywhere fast. I have been trying to promote my website rather than misi and folksy which are also going very slow.
Anyway enough moaning and heres some pictures, first is a childs necklace with wooden strawberries.

A flower vine bracelet...

And a tiara with turquoise and white frosted beads.

I have been listing more stuff on the website so if you want to have a peek it's www.lej-jewellery.co.uk :0).
I'll be back soon i promise ;0)

more beads!

I'm getting into making lampwork sets now, i find it a bit repetative to stand and make 5-8 of the same beads and really struggle to make sets but i have perservered and i'm getting into it now. It is still taking me 2-3 sessions at my torch before i have made a set but i'm getting there.

These are a set i made using mystic pink glass, it gives the beads a cloudy effect but you can't see it from the picture.
This is a set i adore, they are teal and purple and the picture really doesn't do them justice. I've finished off another 3 sets and made a focal over the last 2 days and i have also started another set which i have fallen in love with so watch this space....pictures soon :0).
