Welcome to my wonderful world of handmade lampwork beads and handcrafted jewellery .

I enjoy making handmade beads that are not mass produced and have that original feel and look. As my beads are not mass produced not every bead is the same and can vary ever so slightly . This is why I feel excitement each time I melt glass as each time is like the first time. Any imperfections are stated in my descriptions so buyer please be aware .

Enjoy looking at my beads.
It is our imagination that lets us create these wonderful designs.

Long time no post

It has been forever since I have posted anything ... For that I am sorry and even more sorry that I have nothing whatsoever to post now. My first time in the shed was yesterday and it is like starting all over again. The beads that came out are pants even more pants than I normally do ..

The reason for this is a mixture of things .


1. A new job.
2. Still doing the old job as well.
3. Being a wife
4. Being a mother.
5. Housecleaner !!!
6. Constant Cook.
7.Taxi !!
8. Tired from all the above
9. No mojo
10. Guilt 


Yes no 10 on the list is the main reason . I feel guilty  that if I am not doing one of the above on the list and I am in the shed for hours on end I cannot concentrate and I feel guilty that I should be doing other things.  I know , I know I hear you shouting at me but I do not think I am alone here , not when we sit down and think about it ..


Melting glass is not a 5min task , we have to put time and commitment into it . Which in the end means we have to learn to be selfish at times ,something I expect alot of people will find hard. Not only to get a routine going in the first place but also pushing away that guilty feeling when we want to go into the shed to melt some glass. 


I seem to be doing alot of putting off at the moment something I know I will have to tackle head on. 


Roll on sunshine and longer days I say ,that makes you want to get out of bed in the morning ......
