I will update more regularly!

I’m back!

Finally...
It’s all been a bit manic with the house move (that three month stay in the temporary house lasted a little bit longer than i’d planned... but only about  a year and three months longer)
So now I’m in my very own flat – I can make as much crafty mess as I like! And hopefully I’ll be able to keep this a little more regularly updated when (if) I get an internet connection sorted.
Things planned for this year:
More craft fairs!
More stock!
More sales!
There’s a plan for you! I’m hoping to rustle up some interest in selling chains to more opticial practices in Cardiff. But I’ll see how that goes.

Things I think I might try making this year – beaded thread bookmarks – a little like spec chains, but with out the ends.  More danglers. They seem popular in searches. More lanyard/ID holders – although they don’t seem as popular as they were before Christmas!  Beaded wraps for candles.
Oh what was that other thing? It was a really good idea! A stroke of inspiration!! Where’s it gone...
Anyway, it was a really good idea. I just don’t remember what it was!

I ought to make some more jewellery as well – especially since my business cards state “jewellery and accessories” and not just “random stuff people really need”
I just had an order of fabulous square glass beads delivered, and I’m looking forward to using those! They should make some pretty necklaces...
And I’ve got some lovely silver coloured things on their way... clasps and connectors and crosses and rosary centres.
What else...? Well I haven’t heard back from the BBC about the Great British bake off... So i guess I’ve not got through to that! Next year, Gadget!

I have applied for a position as a freelance designer on the Madcowbeads website, I’ve made the suncatcher, I’ve taken the photos – All I need to do is the write up. Hopefully now all the fun of the move is out of the way I’ll get time to do that this week. And I wonder why I never have any time left for cleaning ;-)
