Friday Roundup

It's Friday so its time for me to fill you all in on my week. As some of you are aware, I've had a job interview today so have spent the best part of the week preparing for that. No word on that as yet, but fingers crossed I'll finally be working as a physio again soon.

I seem to have had a bit of success on Etsy at the minute after I suddenly had the brain wave of tagging my pearl bracelets as 'bridal' I've had several custom orders as a result and am currently working on a BIG order, which I'll fill you in about once it's completed.




I did manage to make one new piece this week. It's called Shades of Gold Bubbles Bracelet and it's a variation on my Bubbles theme. This time though I have used an antiqued gold chain with a mix of pale gold, ivory, bronze and browny/gold glass pearls.


So now I'm off to wire wrap loads of pearls in the hope that I get my custom order completed this weekend and I can show it off next Friday!

Fridays Weekly Round up

As it is Friday it's time to get a round up of what I've been working on all week. Unfortunately I've been having real problems with my camera and think I'm going to have to invest in a new one. As well as the one I normally use, we have a wee pocket sized one that we got to fit in my handbag a couple of years ago. However, even though it has a macro setting, it just isn't very good. As any one trying to sell their work online knows, photos are the one thing that draws in prospective buyers and if the photos aren't up to scratch, the buyers won't come.

Anyway, I have been crafting away as usual and got some new beads to make a few more of the Bubbles Bracelets. This one I called Irish Sky simply because it exactly matched the sky here this morning before it started pouring down.


I've got to admit I've been getting a bit disillusioned with Folksy over the past few weeks. The people I've met in the forums are brilliant but there is a general air of discontent that it is hard not to be affected by. I listed this Gold and Bronze Memory Wire Bracelet exclusively on there.


Over the weekend I'll think I'll be off camera shopping and if it ever stops raining, hopefully I'll get some of my other new creations listed next week
