Earrings

Having a lovely weekend! I made amazing creamy carrot soup yesterday and settled down and got loads of making done. Then some friends came over for tea and I got 7 commissions for jewellery pieces and she bought 2 of my scarfs and a hat! She saw some of my bracelets and asked if I could make her some necklaces and earrings in a similar style, so I did and they are great, and it has inspired me to make more.

Today I have been sorting out some new photos I took this morning, it makes such a difference taking them in natural light and it means I can spend the rest of the day sorting through them.


I am really happy with these earrings, I bought the findings last ear and never really got around to doing anything with them, but these new stones moss agate and aventurine really suit them I think. They are delicate and natural and I think thats why I like them so much!

I was on one of the Etsy forums the other day and someone started talking about Moo, I had never heard of them so checked them out. They print up mini business cards, stickers ect. I have ordered some to use as tags for my jewellery, and business cards. Its a great idea this way I can get a small run made up and can change the design as I please without waste. I am really excited about them comming I'll post a pic when they arrive.

hi Laura, I couldn't figure out where to email you, so I decided to leave you a comment instead! your jewelry designs are lovely!
basically for the PIF, you would sign up to join mine, {yay!} then I would send you something within 365 days, probably sooner than later. then you just have to post it on your blog {no pressure on actually posting it on your blog, one of my people did, one hasn't} saying you'll do the same for the first three people that post on yours! then you'll send something handmade to them. it's pretty fun, and a nice way to get to know other bloggers out there. I really enjoy the swaps. they can be rewarding when you get your little package in the mail. :) so, if you'd still like to join, let me know. I'd love to send you something! email me at alyson.jg@gmail.com if you need more details.
