Hello Again

Wow, I just remembered this blog....cant believe its 2012 since I last posted.  Haha, that sounds like a confession!  

So much has changed since then, mostly for the better, but being a deaf old cow, and other hearing related complications...... has had a massive impact on my  life.

  

I am still crafting, and up til now have continued with the Craft Fairs, but my hearing problems and the stress it causes has made me decide to give up the fairs and go for online selling.  Humph, going to have to completely rethink my work ethic for that.  Up til now networking has been a necessary evil, but it will have to become my daily routine.  I think I can live with that though.  Snuggled up on the sofa with Kitty, drinking tea by the fire.  Yes, I think I can manage that!

So, it will re-opening my Folksy Shop and opening the Etsy one which I got set up, but that was as far as I got!

I am planning to gradually wind down the Jewellery side of Woobeadhoo, apart from some chunky, leather and copper creations that are floating round in my head. There is so much jewellery out there now, I have become a tad jaded with it all.

 I am instead going to go back to my first love, and shall concentrate on the textiles and leather that is gradually  taking over my spare room! 

 I have also been playing with recycled copper wire recently.  Oxidizing , beating and hammering, and hoping to have a go at soldering.  I have flux and a blowtorch all ready!

Chunky semi-precious stones and leather, mixed with recycled copper wire look great together, so this will be the theme of my new collections.

So, there you have it.  I have two more fairs to go, then it be Network, Network Network!!!     Will keep you posted ....promise.   xxx
