It is 2.25am on friday.....and I have worked on my website for two days. I am actually trying to get up to date with everything so that I can focus on the teaching and the new commissions, except the website took so long that I am still behind a day, despite my best efforts. Tomorrow I tidy the studio and the I am hoping the dining room, and then I will be able to focus on everything else.
I am really looking forward to all the upcoming teaching, and can't wait to get making in readiness for the River Festival. I do want to get the commissions done too....so I am thinking that it will be work, work, work until after the 18th July, and then there's the girls birthdays, which we are celebrating late (due to me being at the river festival!) and so it goes on. After which I will have to start making with Xmas in mind!!! Bring on the summer and August, because I am soooooo taking a week off!! LOL
Anyway.......yes I am tired and going to bed.....but not before I say........Website updated - new jewellery and list of stockists - new pictures on fingerprints and commissions pages......take a look, why don't you!
Good Night all

To Market! To Market!........
I shall be at market on Saturday 12 June 2010 from 9.30 to 4.30 in Bedford. I am with the Handcrafted in Bedfordshire group, so all the stalls in our group contain products made by the person selling them, or a family representative. In addition to my personally and individually handcrafted Unique jewellery, there are also another two jewellery stalls of different genres, and then there is glass, pottery, wooden crafts, fabric crafts...to name but a few, and we now also have two vinage stalls with us selling vintage clothes, handbags and jewellery. Lots for people to see, in amongst the usual Saturday Market stalls.
We all accept cash - most probably accept handwritten cheques - very few if any accept credit/debit cards. As I have a website you can place a purchase order with me at events to hold the item, and then buy online within a specified period, or I can send you a paypal invoice. Either way the item will be sent to you by next day special delivery once money has been received.
Check out my website for an idea of what I have to offer and come and meet me and view my jewellery 'in the flesh' so to speak on Saturday.
Hope to see you then...
Love & Light

It's been a while!!
Well, it has been a little while since I have written anything of relevance here, certainly not jewellery related anyway.
I have mentioned Fathers Day...and there are some lovely silver cufflinks and man pendants now available.
I am in the process of updating the website with more new creations, so bear with me - I am only one person and am doing my best at the moment, which I have been finding increasingly difficult of late. I remember a book (or it may have been a film) called 'The Loneliness of a long distance runner', well the same could be said of self employment, particularly when working from home. Sometimes it can be really difficult to stay positive and motivated, when it feels like I am just banging my head against a brick wall. I don't doubt my product - I know my jewellery is lovely - I get praise and compliments where ever I take it and when ever I display it. I know my prices are accurate - I regularly check that they are in line with similar products, and I use the same pricing 'equation' on everything I do. Yet people just aren't buying.....I guess it is the recession....or maybe selling on the market isn't the right 'market place' for it. But the market is more affordable and regular than craft fairs....so what do I do?
Anyway, the up shot of my little moan is that I am clinging on by the fingernails.....clinging to my dream......and hoping that we don't go under in the process. So the the last few weeks have been very difficult and have taken their toll on me....but I believe that I am coming out the other side. Today I actually went into the studio to work on some commissions, first time in a couple of weeks, and it felt good, so if I hold on to this positive feeling, hold on to why I enjoy doing this, hopefully it will see me through until people start buying my jewellery again.
What would help, would be if you like my jewellery, then follow me on the various internet sites and most of all - buy it. They are all one off pieces never to be seen again.....
Bright, Positive, Divine Blessings to All.
