Hello Again

Once agian I feel I need to apologise for my absence.Unfortunately working almost full time and family does not allow me to keep up with all the housekeeping both in the home and craft wise. I have been quietly working in the background but of course finding time to update post, website etc has been neglected. I have been working on a few different ideas with my beads which I will share with you when the weathe improves for the photography ( oh and my daughter returns my camera from her visit to Milan). I have made some fused glass pictures ready for an exhibition and I am also in the process of tidying my studio (an impossible task I tell you), How to folk keep their work space so tidy when they are creating, I feel I need an extension to my already fairly large shedio :) My husband is constantly nagging me to tidy my workspace and throw out what I no longer need, but I am sure you will understand that you never know when something you have in your stash will be just the thing you are looking for in a creation...... I'm not very good at being told what to do either..... Oops there's a confession. I am just about to brave this very unforgiving deluge and see that the final firing has to offer. Thank you for popping by. Pam x

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 :)
