When the little one decided 4am was a reasonable getting up time, I was...erm...disappointed. But then I realised: what an opportunity! So, by the time I got to work at 7.45am, I had:
- cleaned yesterday's beads
- made a pendant and earring set up out of 'champagne bottle beads' for a celebratory graduation commission
- got to know the engraving gadget on my dremel a bit better
- packaged yesterday's orders up
- checked and replied to emails
- sketched a few ideas to do with my new
jewellery range
- had lots of cuddles with munchkin, showed him how to use hammer & anvil for silversmithing
- done all the mundane household things: showering, making lunch, having breakfast
- bought some milk on the way to work.
I have also learnt that I need way more PPP for my engraving tool to create what I want it to!
New beads went online yesterday, I'm attaching a close-up of my favourite focal/set combo, and a little butterfly.
Thank goodness my two are too old to be getting up at 4am - they are getting old enough to be just coming home at 4am (OMG no!) LOL.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful butterfly - I must have a look as I am intrigued by the close up of the focal.

Could we see a pic of the champagne bottle beads please ? I have seen them in an American magazine but never here. Would you be able to do some for me ? (We have a sizeable collection of champagne bottle tops owing to a mispent middle-age, when champagne was cheaper, too !)

Of course, Jean :o) I blogged them here: http://littlecastledesigns.blogspot.com/2009/10/excuses-to-drink-champagne.html
ReplyDelete...the jewellery can be found on my Now Forevermore website here: http://nowforevermore.com/champagne.php - if you're after a different design or just want the beads, just send me an email (either mail@littlecastledesigns.co.uk or info@nowforevermore.com) :o)
Thanks Fiona, I do love making butterflies, I just hope people don't reach saturation point with them :o)
