Hope you are all well. I am about to go up my shedio and make some more gorgeousness (i hope ;o)) and have got a long weekend off with my girls and hubby. We are hoping to pop off sometime over the weekend to London to the science museum which the girls are very excited about!!!
Pictures will follow I hope. Have a lovely bank holiday weekend

I want to talk about something other than me or glass of jewellery. I have a very talented brother in law who has a huge interest in the tunnels and features of underground Kent. He regularly enters war time tunnels (with permission i hasten to add) and is a very good photographer to boot! This awesome picture speaks for itself and is among a bunch of favourites that he has on his Flickr album. If you click on the picture next to my bit of blurb then you will be taken to his Flickr album and I would recommend you have a look

Quite simply I adore these and the way they came out! They also sold very soon after putting them up for sale in my Etsy shop!!! I love that feeling that I have made something and someone wants them straight away.

My beadliner arrived yesterday and I have 15 big hole beads waiting patiently for me to pop the silver core in so who am I to refuse the chance of some treasured bead time LOL. I am about to go up my shedio and line my beads pictures to follow shortly I hope and then grand launch of my Belita Bead range will be ready to go! I am thinking of a prize draw or something similar to launch so watch this space!!!

I am kinda liking making the big beads they just take so darned long I can only bring myself to do 1 per session. They do seem ever so popular tho cos this one sold within a couple of hours of me putting it up for sale! It is quite scrummy and I hope its new owner is as pleased with it as I am

Do you remember these beads!!! I made them a few weeks ago with the thought of a new lariat in my head. I made the lariat but was not happy with how it turned out so it has been hanging around waiting for some inspiration. This afternoon I was tidying up my beads corner and came across the bracelet I made a couple of weeks ago and thought "Wow those beads would look fab on there" and there you go. Jens pind chain maille weave with my own handmade lampwork beads embellishing it! On sale now in my Etsy shop!!!

I made a set of beads like this one last night and am very chuffed with them. They are called Pretty Woman as they remind me of the dress worn by Julia Robert's at the polo match in the film of the same name!
I made another set as well which will shortly be up on my website for sale
