Take Your Child To Work.

Hi,

This is Phoebe and Victoria on Take your child to work day counting some beads. Later on we will be making some glass beads and helping prepare for the Cheltenham bead fair next weekend.

Chepstow Bead Fair.

I will be at Chepstow Bead Fair this weekend, 30th-31st January. I'm still busy making at the moment as well as stringing up set, counting bags of headpins and generally trying to get organised.

If you are there please come and say hello1

Winter Pansies.

I'm busy making jewellery for Christmas sales at the moment but I have just added this set to my Etsy shop.

Another Treasury and some new beads.

I managed to grab another Treasury West for the Frithappens Team.


If you want to see more work from members of the UK lampwork forum then go to Etsy and search using the tag fhfteam, lots of lovely beads and jewellery.

Talking of beads I added some more to my Etsy shop yesterday.

Etsy Treasury.

I managed to grab a Treasury slot on Etsy and picked a selection of work from various members of the UK lampworkers forum, Frit Happens. Please take a look, there is a great selection of different work.

Normal Service will be resumed....

I'm back from the Big Bead Show and with beads to list. I will be adding sets to my Etsy shop over the next few days. In fact there are two new sets already.


The Big Bead Show was great, I could have spent a fortune but I limited myself to a couple of strings of pearls....and the inevitable bundle of glass. I was pleased with my sales. I'm not about to retire on the proceeds but I got over the target I had mentally set as the difference between being pleased and being disappointed so I am keen to book some more bead shows. I met lots of nice people, some I already knew and others for the first time.

Back to work now, as well as listing sets on Etsy I need to make up some jewellery ready for the run up to Christmas. I have also promised to take out a few days to decorate the bigger bedroom that used to be my son's so that Phoebe can move in there. She is in the small box room at the moment and it is rather overflowing!

Apologies for the lack of posts here. I have been very busy with Somerset Arts Week, actually a fortnight, and more recently preparing for this Saturday's Big Bead Show at Sandown Park in Surrey.

Here is a glimpse of one of the new style sets I will have with me there.
