Rock Face

   On a grey damp day here in the fenlands of the east it's nice to be working once more with the many colours of summer though I'm sure the beautiful warm weather will soon return.
   This morning I listed more beads including the favourite of many, the "Rock Face" encased beads, I guess if I'm honest they are a favourite of mine too.

More New Orphan Beads

   It's turning out to be a very mixed week here in the marsh lands of East Anglia, boiling hot weather to start, thunder storms today, car in hospital, new garden pergola built and still I found lots of time to share with my flame.
   Some who know me know I suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and to be honest this week it became an utter pain, lack of sleep and causing a slower work rate with my beads as put me in low mood, which some would say is the norm for this grumpy old git.
   This evening more new spacer beads have been listed in the Etsy shop plus another nice new set of "Rock Orphan" beads, so please feel free to go take a look.  https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/pebbledreams

Warm Weather, Garden Work and Lots of Miles


   The last few weeks have been busy ones indeed, what with all the extra orders I've had my flame has been burning longer hours and without doubt sitting next to my kiln in this weather s becoming harder as I get older. I shouldn't moan for a year or two back any orders were a blessing let alone being as busy as I am at present, The summer months were always the slower of the year, people were heading on holidays and buying beads wasn't very high on their agenda, but luckily things are slowly changing and more new customers are discovering and enjoying my beads.


   After working hard last year on the inside of the cottage, this summer is about the garden, new patio, pergola and all over change around, which is down to this ex-landscaper. I know most who know me will know I'm enjoying every second out there but don't mention it to the other half, I'm trying to make it look like hard work haha!
   The cycling is still going well and for the first time in weeks the winds that rattle the fens are settling down so the miles are far more pleasant, the countryside is green, the wildlife is busy and the beautiful wide skies are blue, what more could I ask.
