Just some pics from Saturday Night

So right to left Kristie ( Our old school friend ) , ME, Sarah, Sophie, & My cousin Louise AKA Angel.

This momma dancing.

And me listening to the bass right on the speakers , no wonder I cannot hear at the moment !!!

Another job done

Now that I have been away for a lovely weekend at my cousin's . ( It only took her 17yrs to get just us two out dancing again !!) I cannot remember that last time I came in at 4am ( sober ) getting out of the taxi hearing the morning chorus ( bird's singing ) as I am just going to bed . I was awake again at 9am and on my way back home around eleven . Ready to drop when I got back home.

It was lovely us spending time together something I hope will continue alot more often anyway.

 I can now concentrate on melting glass and after a much needed kick up the rear by you lovely lot I will begin looking towards spring .

On a lighter note my younger sister ( 11yrs younger ) was out where my cousin and I were. All I wanted to do was pull her belt , sorry I mean skirt down and tell her it was past her bedtime now . But she is an adult as I keep saying to everyone I meet , but to me she will always be Vicki - Bits.........

Lost my mojo

I have lost it somewhere, I look at all the beads other people are doing and it is getting me down at the moment. Not their standard of work as I know that comes with practice and time. No it is the fact they think all these beautiful designs. That is what is getting me down, the fact I do not think my beads are beautiful and I never think of all these other wonderful designs that make up their wonderful beads.

So below are just a few I made over the weekend. 

Do you like

This is a rough attempt at using double helix glass. This is what I tried after I had my lesson at Kaz's. I overdid the glass , it is too big for the large lentil so I left it freehand. As it is that big I have put it onto a chunky chain so that it can hold the bead better. Not something I am used to but I am sure it will grow on me.

The other is a heart I made I have made up into a heart necklace.

Two more pieces of jewellery all made up ready to go.

Here's one for me.

I am so proud of this necklace . It is nothing special and is not fancy at all. Even the double helix colour has not come out that great I have better . Its just I have silver in this my encasing for this lentil is spot on for me . Up close and personal you can see the colours of the helix glass . 

So I have kept this one just for me . 

On a roll

Well I have got a party to do in a few weeks, so I really get my arse in order. 

Bags have arrived Plastic, Velvet or a few with handles . Tissue paper is next on the list. Cards are done , so it is just a case of making the endless amount of beads I have up into stunning pieces of jewellery that people would want to wear. !! You see that's the thing what I like and what I would wear is different say to what my cousin likes and what she would wear . I would say even in clothes what she likes and what I like are opposite in every sense of the word. However she is not afraid in what she wears , very feminine and very beautiful . The same as my sister very feminine and very beautiful . That goes with their style of jewellery . Light and feminine . Where as I like simple but chunky mamma's .

In this women are similar but would you ever get 2 friends exactly the same !!!

So here are a few more bracelets in doughnut style beads

 Getting ready for that heatwave we are going to have this year !!!

I really like this simple blue necklace on a fine Stirling silver ball chain

Some double helix glass and encased that I did, yes you heard right , I DID IT !!!!!!

Again on Stirling silver ball chain.

All about the PPP with this heart . One of the better ones that I knew I just had to put it on a snake chain I was so overjoyed that my hearts were starting to look like hearts .

 Stripped Pink Glass which I still love  made into earrings . I have a heart to make into a necklace that will work well together with these .

Must improve my spelling

It's awful I know I know so is my grammer . I must improve . However I have things to do first.... like show you the hearts I made yesterday. I started at 9am and finished at around 2.30 that afternoon. It is not easy when making these and now I am finding I am making less beads the more I progress I am making.

So what do you think ...
