SNOW, snow and more snow............I hate it!! Monday I tried to drive to Shaftesbury to help get our new shop ready to open on the 7th, 2 hours and I had barely moved, well I'd slid and slipped where I didn't want to be and eventually slid into a hedge, that was useful! Tuesday was equally awful, roads hadn't been gritted and the back end of my car fish tailed all over the road...finally getting into Salisbury to find they had closed the park and ride car park........SO no parking, that was helpful! Wednesday I had a day off, did I venture out, not on your life! Friday my Salisbury shop had to close early so those of us who had to travel could get home before the roads got even worse and sadly the opening of Bijoux's new shop has had to be postponed for another week!
I have to smile tho, everyone you meet is grumbling about the weather, in the summer they grumbed because there was no summer, year before they were grumbling because it was too hot..........me thinks we are a nation of weather grumblers ;o)Anyway, I'm sat here with lovely hot water bottle on my lap so I'm nice and toasty!
Back to jewellery..............A commission, loads and lots of silver, American Turquiose, Coral (from a very very old necklace) and beautiful lampwork hearts by Laura Sparling of Beads By Laura. I loved making this, its a little bit funky and for those of you who visit here you will probably remember that I had a bit of a confidence crisis not so long ago, well I'm hoping that is all behind me now and I'm back on track.
I've stopped fiddling with the website and have been concentrating on getting some sort of half way decent result out of photoshop, in the end I resorted to a book which wasn't very helpful but I'm almost pleased with these pictures, a little more practice maybe!
Anyway folks, its off to bed for me coz I have to work tomorrow, hope you all have a lovely weekend!
