One lovely bit of news is that Pearl from The Beading Gem's Journal contacted me to ask if it was OK to feature one of the beading tutorials on the site. As I keep a permanent bookmark on that site and worship at the feet of its bloggers, this made me a happy bunny! In March I'll be shouting even more about it.
I was lucky that my sales continued into January and folks again voted with their pockets for cord bracelets and bag charms. These will be the focus of all my shops in the coming months, so naturally I've made more, and found some beautiful charms on the way. I've also been improving my stamping skills, so expect more personalised and hand stamped items on the way.
Here are some new additions.

ReplyDeleteHi Blue Forest - I love these pieces, but can't decide my favourite - possibly the blue one? Anyway, they're lovely. I want to try my hand at jewellery but haven't found the time yet. Thanks for visiting my blog, and have a great week. Chris xx
