It's Been A Long Time....

I am back, back from where I couldn't say and perhaps not back for long. I thought I had better make an appearance on my own blog as I haven't shown it any attention for a while. Life seems to have got in the way of jewellery making and promotion. I really want to hold another jewellery party in April so I need to get on with everything!
Do you know what? I am going to decide a date right now - April 30th. That is when my next jewellery party takes place.
That feels good to have made a date and have something to work towards. I can get on with making more items and preparing invites, fliers and packaging.
Sunjai (my husband- not sure if I have mentioned him before) and I have been busy catching with friends. He has been back and forth to Kent to visit his grandparents while his parents are on holiday. We are both going there this weekend and seeing his brother too. I will be happy to have peace and quiet as they live in the countryside/middle of nowhere so I can relax with a few good books.
Since last time I wrote my book group had its March meeting. Unfortunately only three of us could make it! We were discussing Catch 22 - so perhaps that says it all! The next book is called Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. I have read the first chapter so far and am enjoying.
I had best get back to boring 9-5 work and will try to stay more faithful to my blog as the weeks go on.

Butterfly Sparkle Necklace

Here it is, as promised.

The photo of the Butterfly choker I made yesterday and tried to describe! Maybe you can let me know how well I described it and if it was how you imagined.

I have been quite busy today, I had a day off from work and relaxed at home. I made a few new items of jewellery and updated my Etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=12340 with better descriptions, a new banner and avatar. Constructive criticism welcomed.

I have also put some earrings on Etsy to match a bracelet already listed. The daisy millefiore beads I used for the items are so pretty and summery. They really put some sunshine into a dull day. Definitely what's needed at the moment.

I am listening to my brother-in-law's radio show at the moment, good music and chat http://rarefm.co.uk/listen.php if you want to check it out - The Stefan Show. Every Friday evening at 8pm.

Now we are off to the pub to celebrate a friend's birthday, everyone seems to be born in February! This first part of the year has been very busy time for birthdays. It has been a great opportunity to catch up with everyone though, and enjoy some very good nights out.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
