Warm Sands

Today I'm introducing a beautiful bracelet I have named Warm Sands. 

I made the chain using the chain maille technique and used a mixture of pressed glass beads from the Czech Republic and made them into a cluster on each link.

I love the mixture of colours, browns, creams and coppers, it looks beautiful on your wrist.

If you like this bracelet it is available to buy for £12

New look, new website, new jewellery!

Haven't blogged much lately (do I say that alot? lol) but I have been occupied with designing my new website, its finally up and running!


http://www.beadsandmorebylois.co.uk/


I'm quite happy with it but got a few things to tweak here and there but all the shops are stocked and I've kept my lower prices from the sale :)


I've also decided I will promote a new item of jewellery I have made for every day or so, everything new I make will be put on my website but I'll also be listing something new every other day in my Misi and Folksy shops:


Misi - http://www.misi.co.uk/store_info.php?user_id=2945


Folksy - http://www.folksy.com/shops/beadsandmorebylois


Today I have listed a pretty ring I have named Crystal Spiral - for obvious reasons really as it is made from Swarovski crystals and has a spiral of silver wire around it!

You can buy it now for only £6

It's very dainty and looks very pretty on the finger, I have made one for myself with black and black diamond Swaroski crystals and I love it! I hope you all like it too.

Thank you for reading :)

Nearly Christmas!!!

Hi everyone,


I cant believe it's nearly Christmas! I've only got a couple more presents to buy. I stuck to my word and bought lots of handcrafted presents this year from MISI and will definitely be doing it from now on. One of my faves have been these handmade soya candles, they smell delicious! 

These were made to order by The Pink Fairy Cake http://www.misi.co.uk/product_desc.php?user_id=12445

I'm giving one to my Mum, sister, cousin and friend.

I bought this for my sister, he's called Punkee Zee and she is going to love him, luckily she doesn't read this blog or I've just given away two of her presents!

This was made by Hennie's NimbleNeedles, also on MISI.

Ive only bought one for myself so far and can't bare to give it up because it is soooo scrummy, check this out

It really smells like chocolate and you have to force yourself not to nibble on it! I'm certainly keeping it out of sight from my toddler! You can buy one for yourself or other fabulous soaps from www.soaperstar.com

My friend who made the above soap also writes a fab blog, her last one was what inspired me to write this and tell you about the talented crafty people Ive bought from this year, it's about promoting them and the lovely things they make by doing a random act of kindness. Please read her blog and maybe you could join in and do something random for someone today?
