Phew!

Like everyone else, I have been very busy recently. Good type of 'busy'.... with Christmas fairs and family gatherings and I even did my first jewellery party.

I have made loads of sales recently and am pleased to announce I am now 'solvent'! I'm not sure whether I have the correct use of that word but what I mean is that when I look at my outgoings (costs of materials, beads, tools, packaging, etc) versus my incomings (sales), I am finally making a profit (a small one, mind you, nothing for the tax man to be worried about!). However, as my husband keeps pointing out... my 'profit' is before I allow myself any payment for my time and if I did that I would be in a huge deficit. It's a good thing I'm having so much fun with this hobby!

I would love to show you some new designs but there has been no time to create anything new. Here are some of my recent custom orders (2 more to make today) and lastly some little 'Fun Flower Earrings' which I made for my Christmas fairs in a range of different colours (these are the frosted pink ones).




I am hoping to have some time over the Christmas break to create some of the designs that have been whirring around in my brain and finish my Hammered Petals and Flowers tutorial.

  1. It is an amazing challenge to capture all of a person's work in one image, and some great successes occurred.

  5. Well done Kristin! My husband would say the same thing lol

    But then the nearest thing he has to a hobby, is watching old footage of classic boxing matches, so everything evens out doesn't it?!

  6. Jenny - I'm so glad you like the photos, I have a new camera and am really enjoying trying to get the best angles and lighting.

    Kathleen - I hope you have a fab Christmas too. I need to catch up on your blogs to see what clever things you've been up to.

    HR - Thanks for being a regular commenter on my posts, I always appreciate your feedback. I enjoyed making the spiral earrings as a custom version of my 'Wonky Spiral Earrings' I made a while back - but these ones are definitely less wonky.

    Mel - Thanks as always for being there. Have a wonderful Christmas too.

    Amadora Designs - Thanks for the giggle (and the support)

    Kristin :)
