Nightmare six weeks, new jewellery and September events!





I have finally managed to make some new jewellery for my website! Phew it seems to have taken me forever but then I blame the six weeks holiday don't you?? It just throws me completely out of sinc and I just turn into this walking disaster thing.



I just cannot for the life in me get anything done lately and seem to be walking around in a bloody day dream! I thought that I would grow out of this behaviour but WTF I am still bimbling along like some blonde dimwit from the planet DUMB!! First there is the cleaning and the dogs then there is Doms accounts and day to day running of his business ( why doesnt he just shove a brush up my arse and let me sweep up at the same time for gods sake)! Then there is my two teenage boys - and dont let me get started on them will you cos I could go on for days and days and any other mum of teenage boys will get my drift if you know what I mean!



Apart from all the daily chores etc etc I have actually managed to get some jewellery made which for me is a blooming miracle lately. I have uploaded some new stuff on my site and hopefully can make some more over the next couple of days.






I have quite a busy September - its my Jamie's 14th Birthday on the 10th and My Doms 33rd Birthday on 23rd not to mention my friends Vicky (15th) and Sharon (21st) so I have alot of pressies to make and buy dont I??


I also will be exhibiting my jewellery and hopefully selling loads at Harrogate Flower Show 14th-16th and Nidderdale Show on the 24th, if anyone can make it to these events please do come and say hello, you wont be able to get a word in but hey who cares!!


Right better get back to the grindstone as my mum says "there is no rest for the wicked"!!

Low Stock and Successful day at Kilnsey





Hey, how ya been??


Ive not got alot to tell apart from been making jewellery and exhibiting it at Kilsney Show today.


Its been a really good show, lots of visitors and best of all the spenders where out in full force! I am glad about that as this year has not been fantastic especially with the flooding and now the foot and mouth, alot of the shows have been cancelled, and some shows such as The Royal Lancashire Show wont even give the exhibitors their fees for the trade stands back!! I am disgusted to be honest and am persuing this matter as we speak!!


Anyway I will get off the soap box for once in my life LOL!!


I am going to be really busy making more jewellery as the stock is so low and my website's shelves are empty so to speak so may not update this blog this week now, although you never know I may have a small tale to tell!!


catch ya later xx

Been Poorly


I'm so very sorry for lack of updates recently, apart from being in wedding arrangement mode I have been really poorly this week with a sore throat, neck, head oh and every other random part of my body that you can think of it has honestly knocked me for a right sixer and I have felt absolutely awful.

I am today finally starting to feel a little better although I took the dogs out this afternoon and you would have thought I had run the London Marathon! I was exhausted!!

I will definitely be updating my website this week with photos as I am making some new goodies this week. I am also at Kilnsey show on Tuesday which is near Skipton so am busy busy busy!!

I do hope to update you with some new pics as soon as possible so for now its TTFN

He Popped the Question!

I have had a fantastic weekend! Myself and my partner of 10 years Dom went to visit his mum and dad as it was his dads 60th birthday on Friday. They live in a lovely little fishing village called Seahouses in Northumberland and it really is beautiful, very quaint but a lovely place for a weekend getaway.

We arrived at around lunchtime and after having a cuppa with his parents Glynn and John, me and Dom decided to have a walk down to the harbour and the sea. This is a very normal thing for us to do when we are up there as I love to look into the distance at Bamburgh Castle (which is about 3 miles on the coast but looks fantastic against the skyline, anyway when we got to the harbour and the wall we usually look out to sea from my Dom proposed to me with a beautiful white gold diamond ring!! I was absolutely stunned and if you do know me you will know this is not an usual thing for me to be. Of course I have always wanted to get married to Dom but after 10 years of living together we have just settled into a common law partnership!!
It was dead romantic and I will always remember this day for as long as I live as my Dom is not a romantic person in any which way at all.
We have decided to get married in about 18 months and we will be doing it abroad, hopefully all our family can come too and enjoy our brilliant day!

Busy with a couple of shows and parties over the next couple of days so will post some photos of my ring and stuff later this week
catch ya later

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!

Ive Been Tagged!!

Thanks Kara!!
Seems that while I have been busy at the Great Yorkshire Show - a certain little monkey called Kara Spencer has blooming well tagged me! What this means you may ask is that I have to give you the reader 8 different facts about myself and then tag 8 other unsuspecting bloggers!
Well here goes think what you will but this is 8 things you probably dont know about me!!
  1. I am the worlds biggest chocoholic! I really really really LOVE Cadbury's Fruit and Nut!! Yum Yum!
  2. I also am a massive collector of bags - it also dont really matter what shape, colour or make it is to be honest - but obviously if you know anything about me then you will know the stranger the bag the better!
  3. I became a widow at the grand old age of 28! I do like to refer to myself as the merry widow actually and dont worry if you mention death as I am quite resigned to the fact of what will be will be.
  4. I absolutely love 24 and fancy the pants off Jack Bauer - he is sooo georgous and such a magnificent, indestructable super hero (a little sarcasm there)! I also believe that I will be the next Mrs Tom Cruise and have loved him from afar since I was about 15 - LOL!
  5. I creid when I visited the Notre Dam Cathederal in Paris - the architecture, the atmosphere just blew me away - I have to date been to visit the cathederal 4 times.
  6. My sons are the best thing since sliced bread - even though I do nag at them quite often, I dont believe that a day hasnt gone by when I have not told them that I love them so very very much.
  7. I am a cleaning fanatic! My mum brought me up to make sure everything was always spotless and I really have gotten stuck with this idea - I cannot stand anything in my house to be dirty and have been known to be up cleaning or decorating at 4 in the morning!
  8. I am a qualified nail technician, have ceritficates in manicures and pedicures and nail art - I have also got a B'tec national diploma in social care.

Well thats about it I think and blooming eck I sound like a right old nutter dont I?? I could have gone on for ages to be honest and listed at least 10 more silly facts - I will maybe save these for another time.

Catch ya later
