May Already?

MAY 2011

How can it be May already, this year is going so fast, and I have achieved very little so far!

At last I have my date through for my induction, so now I can stress about that lol. That happens on 19th 20th May, so few days yet.

My latest creation into the Jewellery / Accessory world is.......A cute Guardian Angel Diabetic Keyring

I changed materials for this keyring, as opposed to using the acrylic silver tone letter beads I have opted for Tibetan Silver metal beads. They have a nice finish and will withstand the knocks a keyring has to endure.

Carrying some form of ID to alert people you are a diabetic can greatly help medical professionals should you get taken ill.

You can purchase this lovely pink Diabetic alert keyring at my Folksy shop for a fantastic price of £3.00

I am a Diabetic

Got diagnosed in nov last year as being a Diabetic and have been in denial ever since. Until now!!

I have managed to get my sugars done to 11.4 after being 26!

I am feeling better but the tablets still make me feel very funny in the head. Hard to describe the feeling.

Have designed a few diabetic alert bracelets. The latest one is a real cute pastel one.

You can purchase at my folksy shop for £3.50
Diabetic Pastel Bracelet

Remember wearing a diabetic alert bracelet really helps medics etc should you get taken ill.

Rejection!!!

Finally got my rejection letter through .......Didn't get the job but awww well on to the next!

Funny how having a rejection letter makes you look at yourself in a negative way. What did I do wrong, what did they not like about me......Makes you very critical of yourself.

Another application is on my desk waiting for the final draft. Why oh why do I find the question "why are you suited for the job" so hard! gives me writers block everytime!

Anyway on to more cheery things......

Designed a new keychain. birth announcements! At the minute they are only available in Gold plate findings. Baby Girl and Baby Boy! What a different way to congratulate the proud mum.....
You can purchase both at my Folksy shop here:

Job Interview

Well after waiting and waiting for what seems like years, i have finally got an interview , this Wednesday.

Mothers Day Gifts

Well, Mothers days is nearly upon us , a time to say special thanks to our mums for being there for us. Good and bad, I love my mum, we sometimes argue and have difference of opinions but I love her no matter.

Funny how I have been designing lots of jewellery items for other peoples mum. As I make the piece I wonder who will receive it, what will they think about it.... funny the things that cross your mind when you bead!

At my folksy shop I have several keyrings/key chains and bracelets with the word 'mum' Incorporated into the design.

Don't forget to let your mum know how much you care, not just on Mothers Day but each and every day.

Handmade Bracelet designs

I don't quite know why I have such a hard time trying to remember to blog! I have kept written diaries for years.
Had quite a busy week making jewellery even designed several different handmade charm bracelets.
Design 1)


Design 2)

Both of these can be purchased at my Folksy account

Amazing how enjoyable making jewellery really is. Designing and choosing the colours. And the final reward when the project is finished. You can lose all your worries for a couple of hours with a set of pliers and jump rings!

New Blog, New Day, New Life!

Welcome to my blog. Here you can keep up today with my latest creations in the jewellery world...

I started jewellery making as an aide to quitting smoking. Found the focus needed to bead kept my mind off 'lighting up' and it also meant my hands were too busy....

3 years later I love the relaxing feeling I get when crafting a new project. Playing with colour, experimenting with texture and seeing the vision in the end product.

I do not design elaborate pieces, just simple and cost effective jewellery that i love to wear and hope you do too.
