Well it's been a while and a lot has happened, I decided to stop working at our local school to childmind full time, handed my notice in and they offered me a job... It's what I've been wanting to do so after a lot of thought, as the job is only temp. decided to go for it... as my dear other half said..." you can always go back to childminding if it doesn't work out" so I start full time on Tuesday 2nd November.
It was sad to say goodbye to my minded children, one little girl I've had for over 2 years.
On top of that I've had a horrible cold and cough for over 2 weeks, just as I start to feel better it flairs up again, making it unwise to sit in a cellar for hours on an end so no beading... I'm starting to get withdrawal symptons.
Well today brings pumpkin carving and trick or treating
Happy Halloween

This week's Frit Happens! Forum Etsy star of the week is the lovely Jean Munro who makes gorgeous jewellery incorporating lampwork beads and semi precious gemstones. Check out Jeanie's Etsy store and website xxx

"Most of my work features semi precious gemstones and artisan lampworked beads along with a variety of materials including Sterling, Bali and fine silver, natural brass and silk. I try to find combinations in my jewellery which make it just that little bit special, ranging from the beautiful but simple through to the dramatic. I love what I do and believe this shows in the jewellery I design, so when you open your parcel and take out your chosen piece of jewellery, you should have the same sense of satisfaction and delight that I have when I have finished an item."
