Storms, Gales and Damp Days.

   It's been a while since I posted here on the blog, the main reason being my lack of inspiration, for here in the fens of East Anglia we seem to have travelled the last three months taking cover from high winds, persistent rain and some rather severe storms. In such weather I really find it difficult to raise my levels of enthusiasm, in fact, many days were spent in the safety of my home and workshop, trying my best to ignore any worries of either being damaged.

   Now, although the temperatures have fallen and talk of snow is rife I'm starting to once more enjoy my little bead world and to be very honest the thought of looking out at the snow-covered fens while working my warm glass is one I'm looking forward to.

   On the bead side of things I've been receiving some great feedback on the new photographs I'm taking and the more colourful glass selection, I guess while witnessing such a grey damp winter I was longing for spring and summer and this showed in the choice of colours I've been using.

   A good mixture of bead types are now sitting upon the shelves of my Etsy shop, both stone effects and many new brighter beads are pleasing the customers and sales continue to do well. I've been working hard on the Snakeskin and Dragon Scale beads with new colours being produced most weeks and of course the "Turquoise Mine" beads seen above are fast becoming a great favourite with customers, I just hope I get to see how they are being used. So now I'm back up and running I'm sure you'll soon be getting fed up with all the bead pictures I'll be posting.

   Enjoy the snow everyone and keep safe an warm this coming week.
