You have...

...to love the colours...

Seashell Pink

Shadow Grove

Pale Blue

Dark Ivory

and Mint...

It's been good getting back into the swing of things, after so long of just jogging along. I've missed making these little pearls of colour.

It's all in...

...a day, as they say.

They also say...football's a funny old game!

On a day when West Ham have new owners, with the revelations of how deep their debt was, what the plans for their future are...Portsmouth have lost their court case against delaying a winding up order. Those gentleman on television talk of a change in the city of Manchester. I would think there'd have to be a bit more history before that happens...money doesn't history buy. My team...Charlton, have announced no price increase for next season tickets, if bought before the end of March, and the availability of some five hundred five year season tickets, and PP said Nicky Bailey wasn't going anywhere!

I'm sitting multi-tasking...writing, listening and watching...and cheering!

Also one of my local teams, who went out of business before Christmas, are being resurrected. Their new owner is the owner of the King's Lynn Speedway team...so out of disaster a new future comes for King's Lynn...

I've been busy making my little spacers in a variety of colours...they're the little beads which can be used in many ways.

A favourite...

...colour. I think this is my favourite glass to use. It just reacts quite naturally to the heat from my torch, and depending how you do that you get the most wonderful colours...

I call it Shadow Grove

A new...

gallery is in full view on my website.

Wayward Rose is showing the colour range of spacers available...(though it will grow), once my move is done. The colours are there for people to ponder over. If anyone is smitten, just contact me via the site.

I need to pack all my glass away, dismantle my bench and shut up the bead making from this weekend. My Etsy shops should be remaining open until the 13 October. I also won't have access to the internet for at least a couple of weeks after our move, so plenty of time to set myself up at our destination.

I'm in the...

...middle of a custom order, but trying not to neglect my Etsy shop at the same time. These were freshly made...

1 - Treacle Pud
2 - Wannabe Green

A few new...

...beads on display...

1 - Willow Glow
2 - Salmon

5 - Opaline Green

There were a few more...but, they've already vanished...

Just a few...

...new spacers...at last!

1 - Honeycomb
2 - Bloody Mary
3 - Zingy Orange
4 - Shadow Grove

A few...

...bits and pieces I've listed on my Etsy Shop over the last week or so... I must leave myself a note...show off!!









The lime and lipstick red ones were made after I received my journal...I just love those colours.

Whoopee...

...2!

I've been included in another Treasury on Etsy...



My marmalade spacers were selected by Juny...a huge thank you so much! :)

New Arrivals...

...are now showing in my shop.

I put some time this week to start back on making lampwork spacers. I've listed them in my Etsy shop, and show some here... Also, a further set of pebbles. It's a style I like, and is fun making...watching the silver twist and melt in the flame of my torch.

1 - Imperial Rome
2 - Marmalade
3 - School Ink
4 - Bloody Mary
5 - Coppered Red
6 - Shadow Grove
7 - Shiny Pebbles

That tomorrow came...

...and went very fast. Luckily it's not life or death, and so far not the move or not. It was just the football match, and predictably we didn't win...I'm not going to ruminate further, there are better than me at doing that. Back to the brighter side of things....

I listed some new beads yesterday...nothing extravagant, somehow I don't trust that around here at present, but with getting ready for a jewellery sale, the beads have taken a bit of a back burner, so it was nice to get some out there again. I'm pleased with what there is though. I should post some photos....and also some of my jewellery. I'll sort that soon.

I must admit with the jewellery I've been a hoarder of beads, and now, gradually that hoard is disappearing, so soon enough I'll be out looking for complementary beads, especially as I can use my own lamp-works now. I do like a bit of sparkle too, and silver usually, though having just started some copper items, they're becoming popular.

Awhile ago I bought some natural crystal pillows, absolutely clear, and cut to perfection. I used a few in a couple of mixed bracelets, but have just made a necklace with matching ear-rings with the rest, no colour just these crystals and a few Swarovski crystal bicones...I think at present that's my favourite...there's just so much sparkle, and it's perfect for anytime including Christmas. I'm hoping I can get some more, and make myself something....it'll be my treat to me, and we all need those on occasions.

and last but not least...spacers, those little gems that complete and complement.

If anyone wants a particular colour, we can talk...I have a wide range of colours, including specials...please see what's in my shop, and sold items. Also with the jewellery...I love experimenting with others ideas...so contact me and we can arrange.
