Back to Work Lazy Bones!!

Well, here I am again, after a somewhat lengthy absence from blogging. Christmas was such a busy period for me - both at work (real work) and with the jewellery (pretend work). Then of course came january, when I was quiet with both, but too lazy to do anything! :)

I have so many photos to put on here, of jewellery which I have made over the last couple of months....but I don't want to bore you with a million entries on each piece. Perhaps I'll just start with what I'm doing now, and sneak a few photos on in small batches over the coming days.

I have just had a huge delivery of pearls which arrived yesterday moring, and have frantically been making jewellery all last night (admittedly while watching America's next Top Model and EastEnders). It's so exciting getting new pearls and stones - it spurs me on to make jewellery - really motivating. I have put a couple of photos of 'pearl mountain' on here for you to see, and hopefully will try to include some photo's of the jewellery making process over the next couple of weeks (once I have tidied up my work-room and it doesn't look like a pick n mix of stones etc).

I have orders to do for two new outlets for me - one is in Amiens in France (I call myself international, but really the only nation that wants my stuff other than the UK is France...maybe bi-national is more appropriate...all the rest of the countries - 'nil points' to you too), and the other is a new online boutique for ladies. Will put a link on here once it's all up and running. So after battling with ideas, designs and pearls (over-stimulation of my creative, chaotic brain) I have started to get a comprehensive collection put together for each outlet, and top-ups done for everyone else.

It's that time of year when it's starting to get busy again - people want jewellery for St Valentine's day, and Mother's day, and those who are getting married are planning ahead and ordering their bridal jewellery for summer (always so organised - the bridal bunch). I am the only one not planning ahead- still stuck in the winter slump, with a large sugar, cake and cheese induced hangover still lingering from Christmas. Perhaps once the lighter nights are more apparent....perhaps once I get my spring 'madness', perhaps once I get a new desk perhaps....perhaps....who am I kidding?! I'll never be organised!!
