» Listings for 2009Posted on Friday Dec 4 0:10:00 GMT 2009 Not written much, if anything, on my blog for a while. Just published my first newsletter, needs a little tinkering to get it how I want it to appear for future issues but I am sure it will grow over the next few months. Been away for three weeks to recharge the batteries since I last posted ( Florida and a cruise taking in Jamaica and Grand Cayman ) but now I am back. Got a jewellery party next Thursday, 10th December which is keeping me busy after I have finished work each night. Hubby is listimg the findings we sell on Ebay and sales are begining to pick up on there again. Aim is to start building some beads on here in the next few months which should grow the site and to get some more of the jewellery on here but, apparently, that depends on the weather for lighting conditions ( David Bailey or what !! ). Keep checking back on the site to see how things are progressing and if enough people ask I may post some of the holiday snaps !!! Posted on Thursday Oct 8 0:00:00 BST 2009 Bit of a milestone reached with the listing of the 100th item in the Hunnisucklebeads shop !!! The 100th item listed was the "cascade" handmade necklace. Just need to get the other one hundred or so items that are still waiting to be photographed and listed and we might be getting somewhere !! Posted on Monday Sep 28 0:00:00 BST 2009 Been so busy recently I haven't had time to update the blog or barely anything on the website !! First off, the jewellery party went really well but it made me realise how difficult it is to cater for every taste and every age group. The younger ones are after totally different things to the mid twenties which is totally different to the mid thirties which is totally different to what the more mature ladies like. It's just so hard !! I made a gorgeous necklace out of the vegetable ivory beads I got on the way back from Devon. It was that nice it never even made it onto the website as it was snapped up in no time at all. Speaking of the website - need to get the husband to get some of the more recent designs on here. He seems to be having the same problem as me at the moment where there just aren't enough hours in the day. He got up on Saturday with all intentions of getting loads done on listing products and ended up just getting the one new line on !! Didn't help that we had to make an emergency trip to Bedazzlebeads as we were low on Pendants for Sunday. Posted on Thursday Sep 10 0:00:00 BST 2009 Been a busy last couple of days as I am doing a jewellery party tomorrow night. Spent the last two evenings getting all the handmade jewellery that I am planning on taking together - it's times like this you realise just how many individual items that you have made. The things that are on this website only scratch the surface of the things that I have made because it takes my husband longer to get photos of the jewellery that meet his exacting standards to go on the website than it does for me to make each piece. There are times I tell him to just get a "snap" taken and put them up there for people to see. To be fair though he is getting better and I suppose I wouldn't be happy if the pictures didn't go at least half way to doing the things I have made justice !!! Will let you know how the party went sometime over the weekend - wish me luck Posted on Monday Aug 31 0:00:00 BST 2009 Just had a wonderful couple of days away in Sunny !! Devon visiting bead shops and just relaxing from the day to day stress of life in general. It was bliss. Visited the bead store in Barnstaple and Jenecas in Torrington while we were down there and there is nothing to beat a visit to a bead store for recharging the batteries - well that works for me anyway. Also indulged in a Devon Cream tea which was excellent but I am sure I could have managed a couple more while I was down there. On the way back called in at another bead shop in Bristol, Bambas which had a great selection of beads. Picked up some great vegetable ivory which I'm going to make something special out of which will be on the website soon. Posted on Tuesday Aug 25 0:00:00 BST 2009 Just thought I would let everyone know that I have just added 3mm round spacer beads in red copper plated alloy to our findings category. Also ordering some new finding lines to add to the range today which, all being well will be added to the site this weekend or early next week. Posted on Saturday Aug 22 0:00:00 BST 2009 Had a trip out to my favourite beadshop this morning and bought myself a load of lovely new beads and stuff. Know what I am going to be doing the rest of the day - putting them away in boxes !!! Once that is done I will start making some more handmade jewellery. Just need the husband to get a move on with getting them on the website Posted on Saturday Aug 15 0:00:00 BST 2009 Would just like to say that today has been a record day for visitors to my website. According to my crafty sales figures at just before ten this evening I have had a total of 76 unique visitors today far surpassing my previous best. Many thanks to all of you for taking the time to visit. |
