New Items

I have just added some new Earrings and Necklaces to my Folksy Shop. why not take a look? You might remember i asked you all if the price was right for the blue ceramic Necklace that i blogged about a few weeks ago, well i have finally put this Necklace in my shop and priced it at £15.00 so we will see what happens. I have also decided to make some more of these Necklaces but this time use Sterling Silver instead. Thanks to everyone how commented.

Bead Fair Last Sunday

Last Sunday was the bead fair at the Nantwich Civic Centre and of course i bought beads (lots of beads) here is what i bought, need to find some time to make things now.

Storage Solution

Like most people i have found it hard to find proper storage space as you can see this is how i use to store all my beading items, not very organised and very hard to find things i did have look round shops for something that would be good enough to store all my bits and pieces but gave up in the end. i decided to speak to my brother as he is a joiner i asked him if he could create something that i could store all my things in and he did (see picture below) i was very impressed and now i have my new 'beading cupboard' its fantastic i know where everything is and can find everything straight away.

Big thank you to my little brother David. xx

This is what my brother made for me, he is very clever. its also a lot fuller then this now.

Suprise Swap

Hi like most i entered the surprise swap organised by Trashyprincess i got my package today from Jean Smith, i am pleased with what i got although was hoping for materials to make things with but never the less i have got ideas from it, Jeans web site is http://www.talkingbeads.co.uk/

Morocco Holiday

Hi everyone i came back from Morocco about three weeks ago and have finally got round to putting some of my photos on the computer and i thought i should share some of them with you, i went to Agadir in Morocco and had a lovely time they have lots of tourist in there but not many of them are English. the picture on the left is me in Marrakesh we decided that we would have to visit this city while we where there and what experience it was the only way to describe it was dirty, smelly, manic, terrifying and interesting i have never seen a city like it there where snake charmers, belly dancers, story tellers and of course the famous souks and these souks where the terrifying bit they are small little ally ways of shops all crammed in together with lots of people around and motor bikes driving through these ally ways and if you don't get out the way they wont stop. anyway i hope i haven't put anyone off its an experience and I'm glad i did it we went with a tour guide how was female and from Maraketch they find this very strang in Maraketch as women should not be working like this but if you do go there its an essential having tour guide. Even with the scary parts its a lovely city in its own way but going for a day was enough for me.

The picture below is me and my mum she wont be happy when she knows she is featured on my blog (he he) here we are in the city of Essaouria we visited this city after Marrakesh and its a beautiful city and very calm it was invaded by the Portuguese and there for has that sort of Portugal feel to it,

every one is very pleasant and you don't get hassled as much here. If i was to go back to Morocco i would come and stay in this city.

Finally my favorite picture is the Goats in the trees, yes that is what i said they climb the Argan tress to eat the fruit that is growing on them, as you drive through the Atlas Mountains you see lots of these goats and i think its quite funny to see so i thought i would share it with you.
