Bracelets galore!

Daisy has been invited to a birthday party, and I thought her friend Ilona might like a bracelet. Different to being inundated with Barbie dolls as Daisy was at her party. Ilona's favourite colour is pink



After Daisy and Ruby saw Ilona's bracelet, they asked for one too! Daisy wanted orange and purple, and Ruby wanted pink and blue.



Thanks for looking!

Gifts

Have been busy with another birthday gift, and end of year presents for Daisy and Ruby's teachers and their assistants.

Bumpy beads strung on a hand dyed silk ribbon are here



Bookmarks for the teachers are here



Thanks for looking :-D

Birthdays

So, James's best friend has his birthday this month. Still working on a "male range"...



I've used dark topaz, and dark grey glass with sterling silver.

Etsy

Well, I have had 2 sales on Etsy, and another as a result of Lynn Davy's project featuring my Chinese Silk bead in Step by Step Beads back in November. As I'm currently selling through Etsy rather than my own website, I am going to try to load a mini Etsy store widget here on the blog. Fingers crossed!

We have so many public holidays in May and June. Torch time has slowed AGAIN as a result. I have no idea how I'm going to get beads made during July and August when the girls are off. They have a 9 week break! I'm going to attempt to spend each school morning on the torch until they break up on July 3rd to get a decent amount of stock up on Etsy. Best laid plans and all that :-D

Here are some beads I made which have recently found their way to a new home in Florida.
