Happy yule to you all

Got back into my work room today after a very quiet Yule, a couple of very successful xmas fair and a couple not so, but they did yield good contacts with people  ..I have been sewing this new picture, standing stones and thoroughly enjoying it and creating a silver pendant with a night time seascape for a customer - pictures of the latest commissions to follow, but for now, a few things that were on display at the fairs

lovely new creations

I loved making these pictures and think the frames are just perfect - also a couple of my candle holders have found their way to a new home - thank you Jane for your custom 

Label Loveliness

new labels to add to my textiles and newly designed business cards all ready for the up coming fair in the run up to Christmas

Grandmother Toad

look what I found in the wood pile

thinking about Yule

I have been thinking about new ways to get the word out about my lovely unique jewellery and its not easy it takes lots of time to get your name out there. I have also been thinking about Yule and getting some candle holders decorated with Green Men. I think these are very festive, with the silver and gold colourings reminiscent of frost on the leaves.  keep an eye out for some winter owl and hare designs very soon.

I also had a very special commission for a ring for 15 year old Olivia you can see it below ready to go with an inset picture of the ring. A very small ring, I was worried it would be too small, but it fits her perfectly

delightful workshop aditions

wonderful new additions to my workshop - wow I got my kiln, so now I can fire my copper items and bigger and better silver items as well as the kiln and there'll be beautiful shiny pieces thanks to a fab little barrelling machine

Fairs, Festivals and cabinets

there's not been a lot of time for blog updates - so hopefully we can do a bit of catching up now - been a busy few weeks, what with getting ready for and doing crafts fairs and a couple of Mind Body and Spirit Festivals, as well as getting my daughter ready to go off to a 3 week working holiday in Finland, stocking a cabinet in Pottergate Antiques and Collectables in Norwich, I will be doing a Thursday afternoon there each week from now on, do come and say hello. I am expecting an exciting delivery which will enable me to extend my range of jewellery for you all.

I had my stall at the Summer Solstice Festival at Tydd St Mary just across the border into Lincolnshire, was a great day, met some lovely people and even had some sales

here I am, in my medieval outfit
