New Stuff

I've been a busy bee this week.
 
Here's some of my new things in my photo album
 
the necklace with the word rich on the pendent is inspired by the Gwen Stefani song 'Rich Girl' and i used pearls cause she's covered in them in the video
 
I'm off to the harrogate bead fair this weekend for my mothers day treat so i can stock up on bits and pieces, it should be fun
 
Thank you for looking at my jewellery

my new car

well i've only gone and bought a new car, well it's new to me anyway, so it's bye bye to my w reg peugeot 306 and hello to my new 52 plate alfa romeo 156! Yeah, it's such a nice car and my little boy loves it too.
 
What else can i tell you, as far as my diet i've lost a stone so far, i thought i was imagining it but no my scales are correct apprently, woohoo, i'll have to lose a few more lbs then i'll be able to buy myself some new clothes.
 
in my beading life, i started working at destiny-uk yesterday, it was good and i'm learning all the different gemstones, i'm back there tomorrow, i wanna make some earrings for my boss but i've got to investigate what her favorate gemstone is.
 
 
And i'm gonna go to the Harrogate bead fair on the 26th, never been to one before so it should be fun.

my job at Destiny Uk

i've got a job in a bead shop!!! How exciting is that, it's my idea of heven.
the shop is a 10 min drive from my house in Wincham, Cheshire but the owner also has a wesite (www.destiny-uk.com) and an ebay shop.
Alison, who owns the shop, is away on holiday so i start when she gets back in 2 weeks. My first job is to sort out the orders and get the shop to look a bit more like a shop, then i'll be packing peoples orders up and sending them out.
It's going to be really hard not to spend all my wages in there but it might make me more selective in what beads i buy.
 
I've just got some ring forms in the post today so i'll be coming up with some designs for charm rings later on today, i'll post pictures of my efforts with them.
 
I've just received another custom order today and ordered the beads to complete it.
 
I'm updating my site at the moment and trying to come up with a logo design and some posters i can stick locally on notice boards for jewellery parties.
 
Anyway thats all for now
