Hello World

Well! It's been a while! I honestly cannot believe that it's July already, and that my poor blog has been neglected for so long. The last few months have been an absolute whirlwind for me and I've been busy, busy, busy. I was lucky enough to be offered a trade unit at our local Ocean Terminal for twenty one dates between May and September, selling my handmade goods to the cruise ship passengers who are disembarking at Greenock for the day (almost 40,000 in total. Eep!). It's been absolutely amazing so far but I completely underestimated the amount of work that it would involve. Now that I've got my head round it, every spare minute I have is spent making jewellery or binding books and that's going to have to continue for the foreseeable future, at least until the end of September. Despite the hard graft, it's wonderful to be able to fill my days doing something that I love and to have a guaranteed outlet for my stock.

My online shops will continue to be in and out of holiday mode as the ships come and go, but I did finally get time to make up some new jewellery that I'll be adding to the shop over the next few days. I also managed to take new photographs of everything, which I've been meaning to do for ages! I'm really pleased with how they turned out. Sneaky peek below.
