I'm soooooo excited!

Jo from Bead barmy, which is a blog with a huge following, contacted me a few weeks ago asking for my website details.
She has since got back to me to say she would like to interview me and put my site on the blog as a good place to get wedding items from- yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Filled in the questions to the interview until late last night (just to make sure I got everything right) along with a few pictures.
Just have to wait to be featured now.
Hope it brings more people to my website and Eiledon can further expand.
Watch this space!

Was so busy yesterday that I didn't have time to even log on. Done a little today and finished off a green purl and ribbon necklace on order, but not yet had time to take it into the shop for the customer.

Got lots to do today as taking Zoe and her friend to see The Saturdays tonight. It's going to be a late one and I've just discovered that its standing, not seated so I hope they'll be ok.

Better get on

TiaraL




Had a few manic days, with Scott not sleeping properly over the last few nights and with me worrying about returning to my day job.

Managed to make a tiara on my four hour journey to work and back and I have also in the last few days managed to make a wedding hair comb to attach to a veil.

I have taken pictures of them to put into my shop:

Weddings

Finished putting the wedding comb onto the veil and then decided I would take a tiara I had already started, to do on the way into work.

It gave me something else to think about on that dreaded journey in!!!

The tiara was continued last night and eventually finished off this morning.

I have taken a picture on it and will put it on the blog when I have more than just a few minutes to spare (hopefully some time over the weekend).

Work!!!

Yesterday I was given a veil, which inspired me to make another wedding comb.

I wasn't happy with it this morning, so I took apart a half of it and remade it!

Tomorrow I have to go into work to talk about my return after maternity leave.....not looking forward to it!

Still so tired

Managed to make three bracelets tonight to take to the shop tomorrow and made four French beaded flowers.

One of them is for a friend to use on a cushion she is making for her sister's birthday and the other three are for a wedding.

They will be wrapped onto hair grips to be worn by the three bridesmaids!

Think I may go to bed early to catch up on some lost hours from the weekend!

Need a weekend off!

Just been away for the weekend to Woodhall Spa.

Left the caravan and Dave at the site to set up whilst I went to collect Zoe from school with Scott.

Spent the very sunny saturday morning at the outdoor pool with Dave, Zoe and Scott. Went around the shops and to a cafe for a late lunch before returning to the caravan for the evening.

When Zoe and Scott eventually went to sleep, I spent the evening making pink beaded flowers for three bridesmaids to wear in their hair at a wedding in August.

Due to the weather, kept being woken up by Scott and so had to spend time keeping him quiet so that the rest of the site were not woken up by his screams!

Not yet finished the beaded flowers, but I'll have to get a move on to have them finished in time.

I'm so exhausted, I need another weekend off to get over the weekend....still lots of washing and ironing to get on with to keep me awake!

The good thing was, I returned to find some of my beads I ordered nearly a month ago have now arrived and so I can get on with making the bracelets for the customers I have waiting....when I get the energy and the time.
