Website Re-design!!

I looked at my website the other day and decided that I wanted to make some changes. A few changes has now turned in to a complete website redesign!

I've almost finished the home page which I'm so pleased with. Of course, there are a lot of pages to do after that so I think it will be a while before it's live on the web.

I've had a lot of help from my brother and sister-in-law with ideas and advice which has been really great.

I think all the hard work will be really worth it and can't wait until it's finished!

Stoke Lyne Christmas Craft Fayre

(another late post!)

I had a stall at a lovely Christmas craft fayre in Stoke Lyne, Bicester on 5th December 09. The church was really beautiful and the atmosphere at the fayre was great.

I added a few Christmas decorations to my stall and I'm very pleased with how it looked.

I got some great Christmas gifts for friends and chose something for myself too!

Had some really lovely comments on my jewellery but many people commented that 'they can't wear delicate jewellery'. With that in mind, I'm hoping to add some new pieces to my collection soon that will appeal to those who prefer bigger statement pieces.

Handm@de Oxford

My blog entry on Handm@de Oxford is very late (lots of reasons why) but better late than never!

I had a wonderful time at Handm@de Oxford. The amount of people through the doors was amazing - a very busy day. Really impressed with all the stalls at the fair and wish I'd had more time to look around.

I think my stall worked well although I had some ideas on ways to improve it. Really hope to get a chance to do this fair in 2010 as I think it's really one of the best handmade fairs around.

Here's a pic of me with my stall.

Handm@de Oxford on Sunday

Handm@de Oxford is only a few days away now! Really looking forward to it - I think it will be a great event and I can't wait to see all the great handmade gifts for sale. Hoping I can find a few Christmas presents whilst I'm there.

I think I am almost ready for Sunday. I have a box full of things to take for my stall - just got to find a way to get it all there!

Check out the Handm@de blog to see all the exhibitors at this Sundays fair - they have been running an A-Z of Exhibitors. Look out for me!

First post in ages!!

Wow - it's been ages since I last blogged!

Lots has been happening! I had a fabulous family holiday in Singapore in Sept. Went to a great bead shop whilst I was there! I came home with more beads and some great display stands for earrings and necklaces to use for craft fairs.

The Handm@de Oxford fair is less than a month away now! Really excited about it but know I have lots to do before I'm ready. A lot of the new items that I've made recently won't be added to the shop until after the fair.

Jewellery Stand

I've been looking for ways to display my jewellery at craft fairs and today I found a great stand for necklaces and bracelets.

New Designs

I got some lovely raspberry coloured pearls a while back but have only just got round to using them in some designs. I made two new pairs of earrings with them yesterday.

I also made a pair of earrings with some beautiful white flower Chinese glass beads. All these earrings will be on my online shop soon!
