The Computer Died and was then ressurected... it was a miracle

Hello All,

It's been a wee while since my last bloggy bloo me goo goo. Blah. Yes today has been rather pants. Mostly I was stressed out last night about the computer. I have no idea what essentially was wrong with it then or what exactly happened today. It could have been a series of very complicated technical jabber. All I know is that it has been restored to what it was before all the... weirdness and stressfulness. For about an hour I was desperate to get on to google to look up some lyrics and it just didn't happen.

Technology can make life worse sometimes I think.

Anyway lets change the subject. Pooey things can just remain in todayland and I'm going to join tomorrowland.

Oh I met Nicole on Saturday night- she's very cool :) Go check out her shops here are some links.

After a nice night out I'm feeling totally inspired with my jewellery. So I am thinking I might make some plans to do a craft fair this summer :) Just need to make some stock. Now I've posted a few things in my etsy shop
www.etsy.com/shop/SarahSeaGlass BUT here is something that remains unlisted. What do you think?

I am starting to feel a bit more confident with my wire wrapping. These were done in silver plated wire. Anyway these are mine :) because they are the first ones I made and I like them and its for market research lol.




As usual when I'm stuck indoors doing mommy/wife things I miss the beach. It's a new and weird feeling needing to be outside :) I'm planning a nice long outing on Thur. Too much going on tomorrow and wed.

I really need to post some pics of me soon *sheepish* lol

xx Goodnight

An ugh Day

Oh hi... *in a tone Ross from friends might use*

I'm not really the most chipper today. I have been pretty hard on my body today in a real effort to lose weight I've done a LOT of exercise. Part of this was hiking along the beach. Normally this fills me with delight but for some reason it was really ugh today. I should have gotten excited about a black kick up (a real wow). I should have been really excited when I found my first beautiful piece of blood orange glass. Nope. Nothing. Not a glimmer of affection. I feel kind of guilty about this now. I believe the doctor has ordered... chocolate cake ;)

So I'm just putting it down to just a bad day.

I have a few new projects on the go so I will hopefully be in better spirits tomorrow when I get a photoshoot done. I am inspired by Hybrid Handmade http://hybridhandmade.blogspot.com/2011/03/snoop-my-stuff.html and may organise my work space. I have a few decoration things that need attention.

Righto best toddle off. Oh yes. This the miniglunker walking :)
Yes I am a proud mommy lol.

Wee gems

Ohhh hiya hiya how ya doin??

Well I've got some nonglunking news. The miniglunker is WALKING. WOWSA! Yes she came out of her little bubble of scaredy bum and just took those few steps to the toy box at the toddler group today! Huzzah. And all before she turns 1. (She turns 1 tomorrow btw lol) Oh, I cast my mind back to a year ago and the joy and PAIN of labour. Good times.

Anyway I've been experimenting with my jewellery. I have been so inspired by fellow Etsians that I decided to give making pendant "cages" a go. I think the two wee pieces I've put together look amazing. They are much pretty caged up than meticulously wrapped. I think it takes to long and hurts my fingers too much to do it the "old" way. Anyway I've been showing off these two pendants at work and trying to gauge if the ladies like them or not and I think I'm onto a winner. One of office ladies said they look like sweeties. :D Awww.

Pics will be forthcoming tomorrow as I plan one big ole photo shoot. I got loads of stuff to catalogue and list on etsy so I just need to get crackin.

I've got some plans for selling locally. I think my new caged pendants will go down a treat here at Mercat's shop. I'm going to see if my boss is interested in trialing a few and seeing how they get on. Mercat is big on "going green" and these pendants are just so fab because sea glass is totally Eco friendly. We'll see how I get on with that after I've made a few more. There's also this lovely shop http://www.frugalcool.co.uk/ called Re-Made which is just over the road that I'm going to approach with my pendants as well. Of course I need to make some more.

I've also been buying some craft supplies from my local bead shop in Musselburgh and I'm tempted to make some of my seaglass into beads and selling wholesale to her. It does of course require me learning how to drill through glass... urgh. I may delagate that task to Mr. Glunker and this business can be a family one.

Rightio that catches you up with me for now. I haven't been down to the beach properly since Sunday and of course I'm itching to glunk. I am hoping to meet up with Nicole http://www.etsy.com/shop/NorthSeaTreasures?ref=pr_shop_more a fellow Edinburgh based seaglunker for a bit of beach combing. :) I'll let you know how that gets on later too.

As always thanks for stopping by. Have fun out there and maybe if you look down you may see a wee gem of your own.
