Ive been busy today setting up a fan page on facebook for my jewellery so i can display the whole range of my jewellery. you'll find a link to it at the top on the left of page, I'd love it if you could take a peek. It took me an hour and 40 mins to upload all the pics and write about them, luckily i had a cuppa and some chocolate!
I have a couple of things in the pipeline and I'm just waiting for more info before i can get giddy and tell everyone, I have my fingers crossed.
Ordered some more business cards last night from vistaprint and was thinking of one of there websites, if anybody has one I'd love some feedback as to what they're like, I'm currently with freewebs but not really impressed, it's ok but you can't do a lot with it.
I hope to add some favourite things tomorrow.

Thank goodness the car passed it's MOT, but it was still £70 for the MOT and washers that i knew needed doing, luckily yesterday i finally heard from a seller on etsy that she was going to refund my money for items never received, i ordered them on 24th Sept last year and despite several (lots) of emails and supposedly sending the items out twice i never received them, it was £65 of beads so i couldn't let it go but because it was coming from the USA i had no comeback, fingers crossed she's good for her word as haven't got money yet. so that should pay for car.

Also joined coriandr yesterday and opened a shop on there, i'ts really dead for me at the moment, before christmas i was making about £100 a month in my ebay shop but really struggling at the moment, hardly anything in dec/jan and only just picking up now.

I shut the ebay shop becuase of the fees, they had more than doubled the price per month of a basic shop, from £6 to £15!! and the way they favour buyers, so packed that in but now need to find other outlets, I think i'm just a bit dissilusioned at the mo, not feeling very creative either, maybe it's the winter blues :>(

I cheered myself up yesterday with a sticky toffee pudding, it was gorgeous but also v. naughty,

BEWARE OBSCENE PIC OF CALORIE FILLED DESSERT!!

Luckily it's individually sized or goodness knows the consequences he he

I phoned my "nephew" (my best Friends little one) this morning and he's having a party, he said i could have gone if I'd been down there (I.O.W) so a little sad now that I'm not, but only been back just over 4 weeks, seems like forever.

Going to take the puppy for a walk in the park now, she's in her usual (I'm by the door is it time to go yet?) position and raring to go;

kangaroo or dog?

This is a new listing on FOLKSY for valentine's day "tequila sunrise"

My best friend has 2 little ones and the 19th and 20th it was their birthday, instead of paying the astronomical prices for cakes she decided to make her own (she did need 4 after all)

this is the result, pretty fantastic!

booked the car in today for it's MOT, finger's crossed it won't want anything doing cos I'll be paying in chocolate buttons!

I've found some lovely items today on folksy and misi, my wishlists are growing every second,

Dan Jackson funny pics

This made me laugh the other day;

it's by Dan Jackson, a photographer that sells his wares via etsy,and folksy among others.

here's another of his pics, from his more "serious" collection

it's a stunning photo of a willow tree in the snow? or is it? go and see his shop to find out the twist.

Well it's been rather an uneventful day today, tried to make some jewellery
but at the moment I seem to have writer's block, or whatever the jewellery equivalent is.

I listed some earrings in my FOLKSY shop;

cream chandelier earrings in sterling silver.

I did manage to book my next trip to the I.O.W to see my best friend who lives down there, I booked a gorgeous beach hut right on the edge of the..well..beach! doh

I thought it would be ideal for Gracie to just wander out the door and go for long walks on the beach, also nice for me too, lol

another plus point is the beach cafe is right next door so we can roll out of bed and order a cooked breakfast, that's my plan anyway.

Gracie has not yet learned to come back when called, if she sees a bird she'll chase it and run for miles, well out of view, so i can't let her off the lead yet which is really frustrating, not sure how to drill that instinct out of her either because she's bred for bird hunting. still working on it, while embarrassingly shouting my head off when she does get off.

I've tried everything imaginable, even my best rib-eye!!!

what a day it's been weatherwise, we (me and mum - lizzy) set out this morning to take gracie a walk in cannon hall grounds, a local country house that is set in over 70 acres of parkland - read great fun for gracie!

it was lovely sunshine when we set off so i thought before we went for a walk there was time for a coffee and cake, there's always time for coffee and cake ;>)

by the time we'd demolished half a carrot cake and a bucket of coffee we stepped outside to sleety/snow. poor gracie got a ride in the car and a quick run around the garden when she got home lol
