The sumer's on it's way and the jewellery is out!

Hello everyone.
Okay so here we are and the summers getting very close now!
This has given me a perfect excuse to open that big box and get all the jewellery (my old friends) out again. (I do wear jewellery in the winter too but just not as much)

 I was a bit ashamed to find some things knotted and tangled after the move from England to Romania a few months ago.
Oh well it can't be helped i suppose, i just untangled them! simple as that.

(I do have pictures to show you but, having trouble uploading them and i not sure if its a problem with blogger or my computer am very sorry everyone, as soon as i have them i will put them up to show you!)

So anyway, i love my jewellery the ones i buy and make, but i love most jewellery and that's me ha.

 But this time i really want to know about you, do you love jewellery, how do you feel when your wearing it, does it change your attitude/feelings in anyway. I also want to know whats your favorite types of it. Everyone is so quite out there, please don't be shy please leave a comment and tell me what you think about jewellery!!

Thanks Hannah

When does the supermarket open?

Hi again,
happy st Georges day for yesterday everyone!

 I just tought it would use this oputunaty to express something that is very inspiring and a beautiful way of life.
When i was livving in england we always bought everything from the supermarket, it got so bad that if it closed just for one day we would buy double the amount of stuff before.
But now being here its so different!!!

We plant, raise and make everything we can. From redesigning clothes from old ones to making furniture out of left over fire wood to raising animals for meat we also make jam, our own juice, rugs and eggs. And its not just us.
Its so nice to live a life of almost complete self sufficanty, however not easy at all we have to make an early start to water the plants check and feed the animals, cook (all home made of course) and the day goes on in fact its endless.

But....

I think that doing things things this way is a .lot ore healthier, nicer and proper shall we say. Because we know where our food comes from, we learn how to do new things and were staying out side in the nature almost every day. Also by living this type of life is less stress full and we are supporting local businesses rather that the hugely monstrous ones beacuse we buy things local and not processed.

This life, like this to me is perfect!

The odd one in!

Hi everyone!

I stumbled across something yesterday that i found very interesting. We were standing at a buss stop and we asked a guy about what time the buss was going to arrive, as we had already missed two and really didn't want to miss this one. After he told us he started talking about work and jobs and how they are very hard to find.
Well to be honest i felt a bit sorry for him at first until it came out that he was a self employed fully trained plasterer and could probably work a lot and earn a lot of penny's for what he does.

But...

It was then that i realized life is what you make it and we can do things but we some times we have to change our way of thinking, all my life i have never been negative about jobs, money, life and how tough it can be even if i have just £1 or $1 in my pocket. I suppose that i see things as more of a challenge and don't really see the negative things as a bad thing but like a hurdle when running a marathon or something, and at that moment i felt a wave of proudness of my self, it was a very good feeling.

 I always felt this non- negativity but i never realized how much of a good thing it was before.
No body is perfect and especially not me but i thought it was vital to blog this because if we all start to think a bit more like this then we will all be a bit happier i think!
so stay happy

Wire of inspiration!

My wire of inspiration is something that i like to look at day to day it not only gives me a healthy push with my work, it also gives me a smile and makes me happy!

As a fellow crafter i love this little wire (raped coat hanger)and really hope that this will inspire you to do something similar. I do mine with natural things because that is what inspires me the most for my jewellery and my life!

You could do yours with anything that makes you simile, to be perfectly honsit the one very important thing that gives me inspiration and makes me happy and flower as a tulip(if i was one) is the sun shine, but i couldnt manage to get it on my wire you can possably imagine why! Well i had ideas about light bulbs and putting orange gliter in side but turns out that every time i open them they all crack and smash all over the place.

So i thought about using jam jars with paper inside of the but i didn't think that it looked so effective!

Its best to just go with what you feel and try to express yourself into something that will make you happy
 once a day when you take a glance at it.

Please leave a comment and tell me what you think i would love to know!!!!

Working like builders!

Hello.
Im sorry but havent really had chance to make much of a blog today beacuse we'v been soo busy building my partners eco partridge farm, building in the past week or so. Were nearly finnished but we had to build a room from scratch for his new business so its all been a bit crazy, im used to threding wire and beading but in the past week iv been mixing concrete, how strange! Absolutly loving it though. Just for the pure fact that its something completely diffrent that i wouldnt usualy get a chance to do! 

It's just lovely

So i told you that i would give you a sneek peek preview on the old new stuff that im working on well here it is i hope you enjoy the will be going on esty very soon!!

I love love love! this style beacuse you can make it with kind of beading it doesnt just have to be with hearts. We can do it with pearls, crystals volcanic rock ect endless list of amazing things, we can even make this style out of our home made beads...
Psssstt, the chockers are coming back in fashion and i want to capture it !!!

Found it love it!

I have found a style that i can use for with everything its fun, serious, elegant and flexable perfect for me, i had been doing the style for a long while but i didnt realise, but i suppose things can be like that sometimes. Right there in your face but you don't realise it untill a long while after, its silly really ha!

I will upload some pictures on monday to reveal!!!

Ploughing and sewing was the thing today, we spend alot of time and energy planting something simalor to rapeseed. It was really good fun and a really early start, wasn't easy though considering we had to do it by hand and the heat was strong 40 degrees celsius in the sun. What an experance with the tractors going up and down in the fields, was a beautifull scene to look at, I tell you this beacuse its so inspiring how people can be so self sufficient here!

This vintage bike is rather inspiring dont you think! What a beautifull day too!!

A bit stuk of image!

Today i thought that i was going to have a break through, wow how i was wrong!

Iv been making my jewellery for 4 months now but I have realised that my jewellery is a bit mixed matched, all nice but it doesnt belong to the same group or style, i.e.  preppy, rock chick, vintage, ect. the thing is with me, i am very versatile i would neaver turn down: a sip of champagne, gardening, playing sports, dancing and other things, basicly i will all ways give anything a go once. Also my wardrobe is the same its a bit of this a bit of that, but for me it works and always has done i really hope that i can find a sort of style of jewellery to class mine under i just dont know what, beacuse i want to make bunting neacklaces, i have swavoski crystals and funn diffrent coloured beads on elestic strings, but is it too versatile? 

I just carnt help it, i enjoy it so much but end up making all diffrent kinds of stuff. Maybe you could give me some advice beacuse its driving me insane! Iv had to have a hot chocolate to calm the nerves!

The doggies of our nation.

Today i came across a fantastic conclution!

The doggies of the Romanian nation, there are all diffrent types of cutie little dogs but we there are some street dogs, the don't usualy harm us only if we provoke them (just like all dogs really)
However over the last few months i have observed how cleaver the are and i have come to conclution.
there are 3 types of behaved dogs:
1. The gangster, will peep out of his sleeping eyes to see what going on around him!
2. The foodies, eill snatch any type of take out food directly from your hand!
3. The biters, no not people car wheels! but not when the cars are stationary,
 when its moving!!

These things are ture trust me but they are all still so cute and make up the comunaty that we live in.

The most amazing book!

Last week i started reading a book called "The handmade market place, how to sell your crafts locally globally and online" by Kari Chapin.
THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!
Its really nice it memtions all sorts of tips and things to do when your starting your handmade business or just crafting for fun. Kari Chapin also explain ideas and things to do when stuck for insparation!

Before i started reading this book i was a little tierd of tring to get in to the local fairs beacuse i was a little stuck for inspration, but i still loved what i did and still love it now! The only diffrence is that now i have loads more ideas after being left inspired, and the most important thing is that now i know that im not alone and there are many people doing the same thing out there 
which i find hugely empowering! Im still reading the book but im sure that il finnish in a day or two. 

Hi there, im new at this blogging but i thought i would give it my best shot anyway!

I started blogging so i can express my adventure’s with traveling and making jewellery.

In october i moved from my home town Nottingham in the UK to Romania, well my partner is Romanian so i thought well, i might as well give it a go! So off we went on our new adventure (was kind of new for him too, he was in the UK for 3 years) with our a bottle of scotch and our 6 suitecases that i couldnt carry and kept droping all the way though luton airport Ha!

When we arrived on the other side of europe every one was really nice and happy to see us, luckly they still are now, but we have had some adventures in the past few months and i think that was just the start.
In December i opend my handmade jewellery buisines and its going quite well, here i have plenty of inspiration around me to work, but im still setting up. So il keep you posted!
