So Proud
After much practice and many dodgy beads, I have my first necklace featuring lampwork beads made by my own hand for sale. I'm rather proud of it.
It's nothing fancy but has a certain simplicity that I quite like. The perfectly round beads aren't glass (how impressive would that be?!), they're crystal quartz, but go so well with the glass I think I should probably stock up on them. Although torch time is so limited now with the arrival of Baby E that it could be some time before I need them!
The necklace is available in my Folksy shop here.

MCM Christmas Market
Another weekend, another fair..... I'm really hoping that this isn't too close to Christmas and everyone hasn't finished their shopping.
I'll be at the Whitworth Gallery in Manchester along with the Manchester Craft Mafia. The market is on all weekend but I'm just there on Saturday so come then if you can :).
The voucher from my last post is valid on Saturday so come on down!

20% off this Saturday
Hello all! I've got a couple of events coming up so thought I'd give those of you who are able to make it an extra incentive to come and say hello. This coming Saturday I'm doing the Handmade Christmas Market at Chorlton Methodist Church on Manchester Road in Chorlton. The market in the summer was excellent with some really nice stalls so hopefully this one will be even better.
I'm offering 20% off everything bought on the day with presentation of this voucher. This isn't valid on internet purchases, just at this event and also at the Manchester Craft Mafia Christmas Fair - more info on that one next week! Just print off the voucher from here and bring it with you. Discount does not apply to commissions. Hope to see you there!

Introducing: CeeGee Beads!
CeeGee Lampwork Beads are here! As the lovely Caroline of Crafted Gems was kind enough to anneal my initial offerings in her kiln, my handmade beadies are ready to be released on an unsuspecting public.
At some point I hope to have a well stocked Etsy shop full of lampwork lovelies, but as my torch time is seriously limited (having a baby seems to have that effect), for the time being any beads that I sell will be listed in my MISI destash shop.
As I'm still a novice beadmaker these are a bit of a bargain, but rest assured I wouldn't sell anything that I wouldn't be happy to use in my own jewellery. So please take a look, and with a bit of luck I'll sell a few and start saving for my own kiln :).

Let It Snow
OK, it's a little early for snow, but I wanted to show you a couple of snow-themed items. This is the Frosty Lampwork Bracelet.
I got these sweet little etched white beads from lampwork artist Rob Johnson last year and they just looked so snow-like to me that there was never any doubt what sort of design to use them in. The matching earrings are sweet and simple.
They're both available on Folksy. If anyone's interested in the set, let me know and I'll be happy to offer a discount.
On the home front, Baby E is doing great and getting bigger by the day. I, on the other hand have gleefully rediscovered my pre-baby jeans, which despite the baby-belly overhang has gone a long way towards making me feel normal again! Our biggest challenge at the moment (apart from getting a decent night's sleep but that's a whole other story!) is trying to get her to take a bottle. She's been less than impressed with our efforts so far, but I have Christmas jewellery sales booked and starting in less than a fortnight, so I hope for her Dad's sake she's got the hang of it by then. Otherwise he could be in for a tough few days :P. We'll just have to persevere and keep trying different teats until we find one to madame's liking... watch this space!

That Time Already
Today I was told it's just 6 weeks to Christmas. Yikes. If you're in need of a bit of inspiration to get you in the festive mood, then check out this lovely seasonal treasury by redeemdesigns which just happens to feature my Swarovski star necklace :).
