Website

The digital dusting is done! Website is re-done and I'm thrilled with it, mostly coz I did the majority of it myself, I did have some help with layout and navigation.

After months of tearing my hair out and getting frustrated, I have also managed to activate the lightbox thingy so now my pictures do that posh flashy thing to see bigger images............I have had the programme for months now and had decided that I was in over my head with it and didn't have enough grey matter to work it out but hey no where in the instructions did it say you had to upload to website...............well now I have and hey presto..........it jolly well works ;o)

Anyway guys, pop on in, have a poke around (bound to be a typo or a missing link) all comments gratefully recieved and critisims too........It still needs a bit of tweaking but I want to get creating now............yep you heard it right, my creativity has returned, I have a head full of ideas.

Silver Storm

Blimey, 3 posts in as many days.................

I've decided to scoop everything together, I have some bits as Jewellerycraft and some as Silver Storm so thought it about time to get it sorted!

The first was Etsy

I have a new Etsy shop and I'm gradually moving everything over from the old Jewellerycraft shop .............. its taking a while! Oh and coz I'm short of funds at the moment and no patience to wait for payday, I built the banner myself. Its a bit simple in the scheme of things but I'm ridiculously proud of it despite the amount of swearing that went on, glad the boys were out at school!

Jewellerycraft isn't going to disappear completely tho, I'm going to de-stash, and I mean DE-STASH, you would not believe how many beads I have, thousands. I will let you know when I've photographed and listed them them all, there are going to be some really lovely ones too :o)

Next will probably be my blog, so please keep an eye out, I will give you lots of warning :o)

AND I'm going to give the website a complete overhaul, maybe not this week or perhaps not next but soon........

Take care M xxx

Thought It About Time...................

To say HELLO................so here I am wrinkles and all!

Wishing All My Pals A Belated But Happy New Year!!!

Hi. My News Years resolutions or one of them is to be a better blogger, lol!

If you have been following my wee blog then you will have read that I'm struggling with confidence issues at the moment, so much so that I packed up all my beads and tools and got my husband to stash them away in the loft :o(

BUT, they have been brought back out and I have a couple of days off and am going to devote them to being creative. The support I have received in this moment of crisis from my digital friends has been amazing and so unexpected.

Jo from Gem Heaven is my angel, who is always propping me up, thank you Jo and I'm not going to let Miss Tight Knickers' jealously get the better of me ;o)

And, a flickr friend who pointed out that I haven't lost my creativity but that I'm hiding from it, kisses to you......how right you are!

There are a few bits of jewellery on my Flickr gallery to look at, it has taken me ages to get the courage to post them, it took me ages to get the courage to go back into Flickr at all, I know it sounds silly.

Creativity wasn't the only area for my lost confidence...... talking to people, going for a meal with my boys or friends, driving and getting petrol, I even welshed out on the company Christmas do this year.......all because of one persons throw away comment.

So, another New Years resolution is to be a little less sensitive and learn to stand up for myself a little better! Yeah right, I'm 46, bit late me thinks.........
