grey's anatomy.............

anyone else fans? i'm so excited after i post this i'm going to watch episode 1 of season 5 on you tube!!!!! I love you tube!!!!!!

I thought i would experiment this week as I have had very limited sales on etsy :( I decided to put a couple of items on ebay (you can find them by clicking advanced search, seller, katherina1984)I love etsy and would not dream of leaving, I just thought it would be wise to explore avenues as well. So fingers crossed!! oh and i do ship internationally :)

so, the above items are on ebay and my love meter pendant featured in my last blog.

I'm learning lots this week, - bought some letter punches !!!!! so im gonna experiment then ill post some pictures when i figure out how to use this lightbox i have been going on about, plus i'm learning how to set stones tonight. woohoo!

ok so i lied.......

.................i changed my mind about my new etsy listing for today,

i decided to go for the 'forget me not' necklace, i though this wednesday could do with some love adding to it, and this is my offering.

its a silver toned 'forget me not' pendant between two gorgeous swallows, with some beading to add a bit of prettiness. Its a romantic piece i see worn by a 1920's lady wearing in a cream chiffon and lace dress reading love poems sitting under a tree, thats how i picture it anyway.

My lightbox should arrive in the next two days so expect my pictures to magically turn professional!!!! (i wish!)

Ever heard that fuel song?...............

..................it goes, 'i had a bad day again.......blahblahblahblahblahhhhhhhhh', yeah well that song has been going around my head all morning - rather fitting as my car broke down this morning, a week after spending billions on getting it fixed, (billions may be an exaggeration!) so i missed a very important appointment, and i also have no money to get it fixed ARGHHHHHHH,

but hey the good news, you guys get a blog from me today as i remembered i don't have to be in work until three instead of two (yaaaaaay)

so i have just posted the gorgeous 'oui' and 'non' charm earrings from yesterdays blog onto etsy,

http://fromchaoscomesbeauty.etsy.com - take a peek - they are very cute!!!!

these are the earrings i posted on etsy yesterday- my chandelier swallows, as usual my awful photography doesn't do them justice, - I'm still waiting for the lightbox i order to turn up.

and for tomorrows new item for etsy will probably be this totally funky pendant one side is all in english and the other in french - so its rather good for learning sexy french sweet nothings to whisper in your other halfs ear!

Another of my favourite etsy members at the moment is SantaBarbaraDesigns ( http://www.santabarbaradesigns.etsy.com ) , i almost bought the whole shop, i purchased various gorgeous trinkets i spent the last week making into cute pieces of jewellery, some of which you will see here and the rest on my etsy page,

I have also been busy making custom pieces, a shooting star ring which i am sooooooo pleased with - i managed to polish it to perfection!!and also this dragonfly ring - in the picture it has not yet had its final polish but you can get the idea.I have made lots this past week and this upcoming week will be putting it all on my etsy page - more will be added daily so keep checking for new pieces, alternatively if you are a teeny bit lazy give me your email address and ill put you on my mailing list so you can be notified with new jewellery, sales and more giveaways!

Generosity that killed the cat...........................

...................or was it curiosity???!!! hehehe read on to find out what im on about :)

My man and i made the joint decision to sacrifice our music channels for the channel mix that is playing the new series of miami ink, i think i regret it i miss just playing the rock channels super loud when i'm making pretty things, hmmm maybe i need to treat myself to a fancy mp3 player hehe.

So new items this week are this black and bronze octopus necklace, i have been having a bit of fun experimenting with different materials and come up with some pretty cool things,



this is a matching set or earrings with bracelet, they are made from oxidised sterling silver with electric blue stars, unfortunately you cant see the colour in this photo - i am still working on my photography set up.these are my favourite - charm earrings in black and bronze, one featuring stars and one featuring a decorative heart.

i am currently waiting for a lightbox to arrive so then i plan to replace all my picture on etsy with beautiful clear ones, this is why not all of my items have been listed yet - my poor photography just does not do them justice!the above piece was made for a veryvery good friend of mine - we call her 'special' - its a private joke!!!


Anyhow, finally i come to the interesting bit, I am starting a free giveaway, .........

It runs from now until 8th november - my birthday - easier for me to remember,

i miss my polo!..............

....................it broke (my car this is) so its being fixed, yet another thing to make these crazy two weeks even more crazy. It was my little lady Emma's 2nd birthday on the 26th - below is a picture of her with her birthday sausage,


for those of you who are about to report me for letting my puppy play with fire - i blew them out for her, her wish did come true - she got to eat the sausage!

i have been painting for the first time in a couple of months, a friend is off to a wedding on the other side of the world she asked me to make the following as gifts ...........
a painting of the couple getting married, i was given a photo to work from, i did it with a retro pop art sort of twist, i think it worked out well in the end...........

............and then two dove necklaces made from silver, one for the bride and one for the brides mother, as doves are for love and finally these silver earring with seashells as a gift to my friend, these are different to what i usually make, but i am rather pleased with them!
