Sparkle

I have certainly lost my sparkle over the last week since catching a cold.  In the early stages I thought I would do some gentle crafting and I looked for sparkle among my crystals and gemstones. 

Looking ahead to the party season I thought I would have a go at making some dangly earrings using glass beads and antique copper findings.  It was tricky cutting the tiny chain links to the desired length especially as my eyes were constantly watering!

I have not done any more jewellery making since the end of last week.  I have gone on a 'go slow'.  Everything requires effort; even getting showered and dressed in the morning.

I'm not sure if I am going to make any more earrings like those above.  I don't know if I should concentrate on using real gemstones as they seemed to sell well in my etsy shop.

Well. I am off for a lie down now.  I hope to be back properly in the blogging World very soon.

  1. Well you may have lost your sparkle but those ear-rings have certainly not lost theirs. They are beautiful. I am sure they will sell well too. Hope you will soon be back on form and sparkling like your jewellery.

    Just relax and take care of yourself, viruses can be very draining so just do what your body dictates!
