OUCH the weather!

Assyrian.

Beautiful beads from Caroline Hannon mixed with Karen Hill Tribe Squares and rings, freshwater pearls and Sterling Silver chain.

Hey, what a week we have had with the weather being SO hot!! I am not complaining mind, just a little observation you understand!

I have been really busy as usual what with my cleaning business and making new jewellery pieces for my next show on 17Th May in Otley, West Yorkshire. Its a small agricultural show that I have been doing for a couple of years and has a really good turn out -so if your in the area why not come and visit - it is a great day out for all the family! Plug over now (LOL) I can let you know what else I have been up to.

I have decided to cancel my face book account - not because I have not enjoyed saying hello to my mates but rather because of all the annoying emails etc that you get when anyone has left a picture or message and also because I am spending far too much time nosing on other peoples lives and need to get on with my own!!

Its absolutely doing my head in so I have taken my bat and ball home and cancelled it all!

I don't know what it is about the sun that makes us want to get out and do some digging but that's exactly what I have been up to over the last couple of days or so, I have planted loads of new plants in my garden - second time in two years actually seen as though Marvin and Betty (the destroyer) ate all the last ones.

We now have a gate though to keep the dogs off the lawn and plants so at last I might have a bit of tranquillity.

Here is a pic of the dogs enjoying the sun (please note Betty's new knickers as she is on season - brill idea I think)!

I don't think we have ever laughed as much as when we first put these on her - ace arn't they??

Marv is flaked out!

I have also made some new jewellery goodies which will be going on my website for sale. On this necklace I am really chuffed with as the beads are tiny so have hummed and arrrrred over what to do with them.

Added to the beads are Karen Hill Tribe flower print beads and sterling silver beads and chain. I am going to call this one Angel Falls as the beads remind me of water.

Anyway nowt much else to tell but I promise I will get back to posting later in the week with some more pics.

Tarrah for now xxx

As Promised........

Here are some more pieces that I have made and am very excited about - first one is Coco Loco, the lampwork beads are by Dawn White and are just lovely - I have managed a set of earrings, necklace and a bracelet - what do you think??

I have also been hard at it on my new pendant range - and will get some pics together over the next couple of days although I swear to god I am no David Bailey and my camera is like an odessy to me!!

Right off to update my website

cheerio for now!

Love Bev x

Jobs Jobs and more Jobs

Isnt it always the same?? you get back from your relaxing no stress two weeks a year holidays to one of the most stressful times in your life!! I mean I got back last Sunday, started a new evening job on Monday, trained all week till 9 at night as well as doing a mammoth mountain of washing, drying and Ironing, cleaning, updating the website and trying to make some new jewellery. I feel absolutley jiggered if I am to be brutally honest! To top all this off is my pending wedding to my beloved Dom - I know its 11 months away but god dammit there are things to organise!!

I have been trying to make some nice little things though as the show season starts again at the easter weekend in March and I will be with Made In Yorkshire again on St Samsons Square in York. This is a really busy weekend and for those who can travel to Yorkshire I would really recommend that they try to visit York as it is really something else!

The neckalce above is going to be called Floribunda and the beads are from the fantastic Beverley Hicklin, I have teamed them with Sterling Silver, Swarovski Crystal and black agate!

The necklace below is called Coal as the beads are so black yet have sparkly little bits in just like a piece of coal. These beads are also handmade and from Bev Hicklins studio, I have added Sterling Silver and Crystals again along with karen Hill Tribe jump rings.

I am going to try to get some more stuff ready as well over the next few weeks - well thats if I have not passed out with blooming exhaustion!!

TTFN!!

The Leaky Ceiling & New Jewellery.

Well what a god dam awful start to the day have I had!

The weather is brilliant for a change, the sun is out and the sky is a lovely blue but i came downstairs this morning to a living room ceiling that was wet through - blooming heck that sounded like a poem!

Seems we have a leak in the bathroom.

As we live in a virtually new house, there are builders still on site so lucky for me I managed to get hold of Mr Plumberman and he came around to solve the problem, after he managed to escape the wagging tails and excited Mr Marverari & Betty Boubalay he fixed my leak! LOL

I just thank my lucky stars that we don't live in an older house as it may have been a bit of a nightmare! Anyway that's my bit of excitement for the day - I mean how much can this old bird take in one day!!LOL!!

I have been making jewellery though and managed to get some decent results from the camera today so here is a little taster as to what is going on the website.

Misty Retro Rose above and Aqua Source

I am making more tonight hopefully so expect some new designs from me over the next couple of days - I am feeling creative!

Speak soon xxx

Mr Marvin Marverari Wainwright

Here is a new picture of my most beloved babe Mr Marvin marverari Wainwright!

Don't you find it strange and silly that we call our pets the most stupid names?? I mean we have a female cat called Stanley, a boxer bitch called Betty Boubalay Swaggles and then there is Mr Marvin! As pet owners we find no shame in calling them the most ridiculous of names. I think it was Emma Ralph who once had me in stitches when she told me of her cat's names and how the names were changed and added to - and I don't think she would mind me telling you that she even has names for inanimate objects such as her PC!

I will be back showing some jewellery tomorrow I think - once I get to grips with my photos!

catch ya later!
