A big thankyou!

I just had the best week. Thankyou to everyone who has ordered/reserved/commissioned beads this week. As you know I took redundancy on Monday (not an easy decision to make) you have sent me lovely messages of encouragement, thankyou thankyou. It means alot. xx

Just to let you know, the beads below are ticking along on ebay, they finish in the next few days, at 7pm:

I am officially Redundant!

Today I took voluntary redundancy. Feels a bit wierd to be honest. No deadlines, no venues to go and view, no events to market, no phonecalls to make, no paperwork.........! What am I going to do?
Cry into my hankie? Not a chance............!
I know ...................
.........................................MAKE BEADS!!!
So, after the phonecall to my manager, I dipped some mandrels, switched on the oxycon, sparked up the torch and hey presto, made some pretty gorge beads if I do say so myself!

'Bronze Age'

'Lightning' (made in the thunderstorm this afternoon!)

I feel really positive about the future and know I have heaps of support from my lovely customers/beady friends xx
