Join me on Twitter

I've been having a play with Twitter and I quite like it if I am being honest. Its short, quick and punchy and there a some really informative links and info. I'm not so good a writting essays so I am going to use Twitter much more to keep you informed of new beads being listed .

My Twitter name is (yes you have guessed it) Mapleglass. Hope you find time to follow me. Pam x

Meanwhile here are a couple of pictures of the new beads I have just listed on Etsy.com (mapleglass)

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend and enjoy this beautiful sunshine.

Why does time go so fast?

It was April when I last posted anything on my blog, somehow I don't think I am cut out for this. I do so admire those that can keep their entries up to date and on a regular basis. Anyway this is me and those that follow may realise what a busy life I lead and will forgive me.

I have been busy making beads mainly for jewellery for the shows I have been doing plus commissions but as I have just had a week off work I have managed to catch up with my orders and even made some new sets of beads for my website.

Hope you like them :)

Update

Feeling like I have accomplished something today. I have tidied up my bead page on my website and made more new beads. As always something has to suffer or be compromised and once again that was the housework. Why are teenagers so tired when they do nothing? I have crossed 3 thinks off my list of 20 so I will keep this short and toddle off to see if I can half the list by midnight. Back soon. Pam x

Feeling Guilty

I feel another apology is needed for my neglected blog/website/ face book. Although I have indeed being very busy (buried under all the work you might say) I have regretfully neglected updating various sites and getting too involved in forums. Hopefully normality will soon return. One of my biggest guilt trips I have been on recently is missing Flame Off and meeting up with my glass pals- again work got in the way. Time off over Easter should help me gather my thoughts/photos/space to update my sites. Pam x

Yuletide Greetings

I have now finished my Craft Fairs for the year and finally thawed out after what must have been the coldest December fairs in the last 5 years. I clocked a -12 degrees at the end of November and stood outside in it from 8am - 9pm on the first day and a meagre 8 hours the second day. Last weekend I was not only out in sub zero temperatures but also a heavy snow shower. Am I mad I hear you ask? Most probably, I really need to ask myself why I am trying to torture myself :) I am looking forward to some months of bead making in the warmth of my cosy shedio (honestly it is warm in the winter, and it feels almost tropical after the temperatures I have been used to lately. I will however wait until all the festivities are over before I start to untidy the house again with all the paraphernalia that comes with bead making.
Meanwhile I would like to wish all my followers a

Very Merry Christmas

and a

Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
