I did sort of end my Blogtoberfest rather abruptly but I was getting ready for my Wirework for Beginners workshop which was on Saturday 2nd November. It went well and my ladies seemed to enjoy the day!
I took my camera with me but as usual forgot to get it out and take some piccies! Maybe next time!
I taught them how to use wire and turn loops ~ we made some earwires, hammered them and I showed them how to make spirals and then coiled wire. They went home with their earwires ready to use, we did run out of time to finish them completely but they should be able to finish them at home.
Wrapped Loop
Making Earwires
So last week I had a bit of a chillin' out ~ time off from jewellery making, beadmaking and being online. Family was top of my list!!
Right, now I'm back its time to get cracking on my long list of 'THINGS TO DO'!!
I do make lots of lists otherwise I just cant remember what I need to do, my memory is terrible and this is my only way of getting things done!
1. I intend to blog around 3-4 times a week
2. Make beads lots of new designs as well as revisiting old designs too.
3. Christmas shopping I am determined not to leave it until the last week before Christmas because I usually have so much jewellery making to do, for selling and for presents too.
GET STARTED!!
4. Have fun!!

See you next time!

I have set up a workshop locally in my home town of Dunstable.
Wirework for the Beginner.
It will be held upstairs above a fabric shop in town where they have a big workroom its called My Sewing Basket.
Its booked for Saturday 2nd November 10am - 4pm and I will be teaching how to make earwires, hooks/clasps and spirals. It will include basic wrapping, coiling and hammering techniques too and everyone will go home with either a pair of earrings or a bracelet/bangle.
So if you are interested in coming along please get in touch either send me an email or contact me through my Facebook page where you will find this on my events page with all the contact details for the shop and booking.
Parking is easy and as we are right in the middle of town so its great for getting out for some lunch, with Asda very close by along with a Subway, Greggs, Costa and other cafes, etc. just a short 5mins walk away to the Quadrant shopping precinct.
Would love to see you there!
