cameo necklace

I love cameos so when i saw this i just had to buy it. I added the pendant to some antique gold chain and also added some lilac glass pearls.

I haven't added it to my website yet but i'm going to do it today.

I've just got back from southport with my daughter, hubby and son have gone away for the weekend camping and fishing with my dad so it's just the 2 of us. We went to the usual haunts and had some breakfast in sayers. I got a card making goody bag whilst i was there so i'll be busy with that tonight.

another bracelet

I had a good day yesterday at the races, i won £60 and it didn't rain which was great.

Back to the grindstone today and i have made this bracelet. I tried to keep it with the latest 'in' colours and think it will be great in the summer.

I'm working on a cameo necklace next with antique gold chain so watch this space.

good week

It has been a good week for me i've had 2 separate people buy a a couple of things from my shop so i'm really happy, fingers crossed my luck continues tomorrow when i go to chester races. Even if it is just the rain holding off i'll be happy. Here is another ring from me, it's blue glass with blue dichroic glass.

And the side view...

I made it a few days ago as i've not used my kiln for the last few days with the crack getting worse.

I won't be blogging tomorrow as i'll be out from 8.30 am till late at night so wish me luck and i'll blog again soon. :-)

something for myself

It's not very often i make jewellery for myself as dispite making it i don't wear it. I'm going to chester races on thursday for a day out and i needed something to go with the dress i have got, it's white with green and purple flowers on. I know it doesn't sound very nice but it's georgous, i made these earrings

and i got these beads on sunday when i went to the bead fair so i could make this necklace. I know it's not fitted into the picture very well but you get the jist of it.

good and bad day

I went to the beads up north fair today, got some lovely beads to make my jewellery for chester races on thursday. I also got some georgous lampwork beads from this lady www.jeanetteslampworkbeads.com can't wait to use them. I'll post some piccies when i have made something with them. So that was my good day, my bad day was that i have noticed a big crack in my micro kiln :-( it seems to be getting worse each time i use it. I'm not impressed as i have only had it a week and it cost £125.
These are my latest makes the first is white bullseye glass with purple on top. The colour is alot nicer than it looks in the photo.


The second is purple bullseye glass with dichroic glass which reflects blue and purple.


And i made this one with purple bullseye glass on top of black glass but you can't see the purple. I made it into a ring which is quite large but it looks lovely.

half price

i've decided i have way to much stock at home and have decided to reduce some of it. I have done my MISI shop , all rings, handbag charms and keepsake cards are now half price so why not pop over and take a look.

and the winner is...

well the thing is with having 2 kids who both want to do and we can't have one without the other i decided to pick 2 winners ( i have a couple of pairs of these pig earrings).
So here are the names before folding and putting in the tub.

and here is my son and daughter holding the winners.

Luke picked out amanda and eve picked out niftyknits, so congratulations and if you can pm me on folksy i'll get them sent out to you. Thank you to everyone who entered :-)
