Springtime flowers

Definitely feeling the springtime thing right now! I walked to work this morning at around 6.45 and it was daylight which is lovely. Added to that the birds were all singing away in the trees and whilst walking into the hospital grounds I walked past a robin proudly showing off his red breast singing his little heart out. It was so lovely and made me feel (despite the bitter cold) that spring is not that far off! Daffodils are poking their heads up through the soil and will soon be in flower. I adore snow but it is so disruptive but you know spring has got to be one of the best seasons!

Feeling blue

Not that I have anything to be feeling blue about. These beads are simply scrummy if I do say so myself! Made with a base of transparent aqua encased in clear glass and then with ASK Tribal turquoise dots these beads looked fab glossy but etching them just makes them glow! Have I mentioned I love etching stuff hee hee.

Gotta dash cos I need to get ready for work but these lovelies and 2 other sets will be in my Etsy shop later tonight I hope!

I had a lovely evening on the torch yesterday and this is one of the sets I made! Very delicate and cute maybe appropriate for the upcoming wedding season!!!

A friend of mine has just popped round and collected some beads off me that she is going to try to sell and a fair she is doing on Saturday! It is at St. Mary's Hall in Whitstable Kent from 10 am - 4pm if you are in the area try to take a look. I am hoping to be able to provide beads for Gill on a regular basis. Thank you Gill for thinking of me and good luck in your venture!
