making again

I sat last night and made this bag charm after about a month or so of not making any jewellery. I also made another 2 bag charms which i shall be posting the pictures of in my next few posts.

It felt good to be making again but at the same time i am relisting everything onto my new website and it is a reminder of all the stock i still have and why i stopped making jewellery.

Anyway i hopefully have a fair in a few weeks time so maybe i'll sell some there :0).

my new website

My new website is now working and i have to say that i'm sorry i didn't make the swap sooner. Mr site (my old server provider) was slow and took at least 10 seconds to load my page, wasn't helpful with any problems i had whereas create.net (my new provider) have so far been brilliant. The new layout of my website is much better and i love it.

Please pop along and have a look www.lej-jewellery.co.uk It doesn't have alot of stock on at the moment as i'm trying to juggle my website and shops with looking after and entertaining my kids :) so the school hols probably wasn't the best time to do it but hay ho it's all done now and i'm alot happier.

flower power!

Well i think my plee yesterday was heard as it has not rained today :0), the weather hasn't been sunny but it has stayed dry which is the main thing. I was going to take the kids out but realised that i have to wait in for a parcel which at 12.50pm has not arrived yet so we probably won't be going anywhere today :0(. Lets hope the weather stays dry for tomorrow.

I put my kiln on last night to anneal another batch of beads and this is one of the sets i have done. I did them for a challenge on one of the forums i use, they have a theme of the month competition each month and this month it's flower power. I went for a hippy colour theme :0).

rain rain go away!

So we are 3 weeks into the summer holidays and it hasn't stopped raining, oh sorry my mistake we have had 1 dry day. I'm fed up of it now, the kids are fed up of it and everyone is board! On the up side we have had 2 viewing on the house, one of which want to come back for a second viewing :0).

These are a pair of earrings i made a few weeks ago, they are on sale in my folksy shop.

I'm thinking of changing my website provider as mr site who i am with now are quite frankly ...poo! I've had nothing but trouble with them for the last 3 years and i can't even load my website now and when i can the pages take forever to load. I have tried customer support who tell me to delete my cookies and restart my computer erm... hello... i'm no computer wizz but i'm pretty sure this won't solve the problem!

I will keep you posted on that.

yay oxygen! boo it's leaking

So as explained in my previous post i was waiting for my oxygen, my husband brought some in with him from work on tuesday. Great, he hooked it all up, great! ready to go. So i turned it on and hisssssssss! hmm i thought, that can't be right so i turned it off then back on again and hissssssssss!

I then shouted hubby who told me what i thought, that it was leaking out of the connection boo! We then messed about with it for half an hour to try and get it to stop leaking with no joy :0(.

So i have to wait till he brings some special tape home to stop it leaking, thing is he's had to go away again with work until tomorrow :0(.

So i made this bracelet instead.

no oxygen :0(

I use propane gas and oxygen when i'm making glass beads, i noticed that my oxygen tank was starting to run low on wednesday so i asked hubby if he could go and get it filled for me on friday (give me a chance to use the last of it). He said yes, great stuff! So he has a very stressful day in work on friday and doesn't really feel like driving to the boc place after getting home late (he's having a hard time with work lately :0(). So he said that it is open saturday till 12 and we'll go then to get some.
We set of saturday and when we get to place at 10am it's closed :0(, i was gutted. Hubby is now working away till tuesday and has the oxygen bottle in the boot of his car. He said he'll pick some up on his way home on tuesday which is only tomorrow and i've lasted this long but i'm having serious withdrawal symptons lol. See i said i was addicted!
Anyway heres what i have made while i haven't been able to make glass, shes georgous.

some pretty new beads

I annealled these in my kiln yesterday, the other beads from the previous post i have put on ebay (seller id jcliff518 in case your interested) they are not perfect and i'm also curious as to what they would sell for.
These i'm am currently trying, yes trying, to load onto my website. I'm having trouble with it again and am seriously considering moving from mr site as it just seems to be problem after problem.

Anyway hopefully i'll have them listed soon and hopefully they'll sell soon :0).
