Awful weather

Good morning.
Today is a stay in and play day, the weather is awful apparently the storm called " Bertha" is over the UK.
It's raining and windy here so not going anywhere which means I can stay in and make some more beads!
I have quite a collection now and am going to make into jewellery to sell I may put some on Etsy I think so if you go on there it's under Laouami .
I can't wear them all as much as I'd like to!
Well I'm off to play some more and hope the weather gets better my little dog doesn't like this weather!

Fun friday

Today I'm off to see my freind whom I'm doing the exhibition with in a couple of years. Also going to see the exhibition we did recently at Craft Arena it's on all of August.
Just getting myself ready and taking my project with me so must dash.
Hope you all have a nice day!

Diachronic beads

Made some more fabulous beads yesterday and learnt a very important lesson.......wear long trousers when doing hot glass as it spits! I had a very hot lap yesterday LOL
Still had fun though! I have decided to sell some in jewellery though I can't keep them all.
Poor hubby isn't getting fed until late each evening as I'm so addicted!
Bad wife.......he is such a patient man!
Here they are , at the day job today so no playing till the weekend.
