Taking Two Weeks Off

These next two weeks will be filled with noise and dust from the renovations of our two bathrooms and service balcony.  This means lots of packing, taping plastic over our furniture as well as cleaning up after the contractors leave.  With some custom orders to fill I will not be posting anything on the blog for the next couple of weeks.  You can continue to buy jewelry pieces by sending me an email or text message.  I will check my email regularly.

Here are our cats, Sniffles and Lion-O who stay close by me when I'm working.  Both are pure breed Ragdolls who competed in cat shows (and won awards!) when we had more time.

See you in two weeks' time!

Peaceful Week

This week I've been able to settle down to work a bit on experimenting with new designs.  After sketching out my ideas and designs, I try to sit down for at least 6-8 hours at my studio table to try out new colour combinations and textures.  Often, it takes 4-5 tries before I settle on something I like.  Then it gets made into a whole piece!  On occasions, I've been known to unpick the whole piece and start all over again because I'm not completely satisfied!

I've been really thankful that I can work from home, being close to my family and cats (I've two, Sniffles and Lion-O).  Here's Sniffles who loves to sit in her box the whole day sleeping, cleaning herself or watching me work!

I've uploaded a few new items so do check out the ear-rings and necklaces pages to see them.  I'm working hard on my Christmas items now so do keep that list of yours going and don't forget to check it twice!  The postings may be slower the next few weeks because I'll be renovating part of my apartment so lots of packing, clearing and cleaning up after the contractors leave.  But rest assured I'll be working very hard!
