HELLO - FINALLY!
okay so ive completely neglected my blog for a while! i went through a fase where i got completely addicted to my blog and wanted to post about anything and everything... i need to get that back but without all the boring waffling i probably did (like im waffling right now!! wups!). for a while ive just kept every now and again thinking 'oh crap i better update my blog', come on and realise just how long its been, try and think about anything interesting ive done, say sorry for neglecting the blog and once again leaving it for ages!!
SORRY!
NEW START
so now! i considered remaking and restarting a blog thinking i need a new start to refresh the look/feel and posts but i love looking back on old posts from when i first started the blog or the uni days so have decided to stick to this one. i have simplifyed the look to match more to my website as it felt to busy to me to look at so im thinking everyone else felt the same!!

i am going to at least post once a week to tell you about what i have been up to or any other things that have inspired me at the time. I used to try not to type to much (until this mahusive ramble) but i think i will add more detail through words but of course keep the major amounts of photos i like putting on (im not sure about you but i look at a book or piece of writing with no breaks or photos and think 'nahhh cant even be bothered starting!!')
at the moment im in this transition period between having my technician job at cleveland college of art and design and life as a soley self employed/director of a company. it feels strange and think i will miss my job at CCAD so much but ive got excited things coming up! i will get to spend alot more time in the garage in the workshop with the purple one aka lucy addison now i will have alot more time to consentrate on my work. i am in the middle of making a new collection which im totally excited about! cant wait to show it to everyone!! im also really excited about lucy and i's stand at the british craft trade fair in april! (although it slightly makes me feel sick with nerves everytime i think about it!)

EXCITING STUFF
ive also recently been busy making the table plan, table names, place names and menus for my cousin paul and his now wife gemma's wedding. the wedding was on friday and i loved seeing all the stuff i made in there places looking good. i was mentioned in the grooms speech, got a round of applause and they have bought me a pandora ring! i was so flattered and proud of myself and i was so happy they loved it all! love contributing towards peoples special day!

| okay so i shouldnt really promote mass produced jewellery being a jeweller an all but there are slight exceptions when its this nice! (the flower one). |
today i have been making some more pieces ready for another wedding but there top secret ;) in a while i will also have invites to make for a lady i went to uni with. LOVE weddings!!
the next few days will be spent making my sister a ring from my new collection for her birthday (she got a sneak peak at one i was wearing for the wedding) and engraving 4 wine glasses with lord of the rings maps for her (dont worry she knows!) off my mum and dad.
