Happy New Year!

December 31, 2006

it’s quite hard to imagine that another year has almost passed. i feel that i’ve had a quite good year despite that we’ve had some not-so-happy-moments too. i’ve had three jobs this year (or actually i’m on my third at the moment), two of them were shorter projects and this last one is more of ongoing thing. i’ve also had the chance to be the chief editor of our student union’s magazine which has been great learning experience for me, i think.

i’ve also started new hobby: silver jewelry, which might turn into something bigger too, perhaps some day… it gives me a lot and i’m pleased to say that i’ve reguired some new skills on the way.

all in all, very good year! hope you have had a good year too and if not may the following be a much better one!

i finally also took some pictures of my new jewelry, although i don’t have pics of all my new stuff since i’ve already sold some of it and didn’t take pics! stupid me! ;)

first pic is of my new bracelet and earrings set. they are a combination of lime green fresh water pearls and garnet beads, very lovely, i think. i’m in love with the earrings, i really haven’t worn anything else on my ears than classic gold rings but these i like very musch, as well as the bracelet. i made another version of the bracelet earlier but i think the garnet beads were too big on that one, so i didn’t like it that much. think i’ going to try sell that one.

the other pics are of some earrings i made. both are czech glass beads combined with sterling silver beads threaded onto silver gray Accu-Flex wire. quite nice i think :)

i also updated my shop with a Unikko-necklace, made of brecciated jasper and silver beads, go check that out!

i’m off to celebrate the new year’s eve, have a good one yourself and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Snow

December 19, 2006

My craft fairs are over and i’m pretty happy with the outcome. i sold quite nicely but i could have done better, so now i have quite a lot of pins and cards that i don’ t have any place for… i’ll probably list at least some of them to my etsy shop. so check there later to see some cute pins and nice cards!

i’ll try to take some pics for the shop and blog later this week (finally some pics…) when my christmas leave starts. btw, yay for christmas, i’m pretty tired and behind in my school work, so i’ll finally have some time to sleep, relax and catch up and probably craft a little too!

Edit: oh, we finally have some snow and a little colder weather, though that’s suppose to change again on thursday… so we’ll still have to wait and see if we have black or white christmas!

Tired

December 13, 2006

Umm.. no new pics still… i’ve been really lazy and tired lately. last week we had our independence day on wednesday the 6th, we went to our cabin for a few days and i must say that i could hace stayed there longer! even though the weather was terrible, raining every day (even though it’s december and supposedly winter… go figure) we took quite long walks, bathed in the sauna every evening and tried “swimming” (more like dipping) in the almost freezing water (everyone should try it at least once, it very envigorating, i promise you that!) . the best thing was absolutely having no computer to be drawn to all the time, so i got a lot of crafts done. i used almost all of my semi precious stones, so i’m certainly dreaming about making an order to firemountain gems again (or do have other suggestions for an online bead shop that has good quality stones at a reasonable price that also shipis to finland? yeah, i know, at lot of demands…) only thing that bugs me is that i was supposed to go to this craft fair on saturday but the weather was so bad and as i don’t own a tent, there was no idea to go there and stand in the rain for the whole day. i didn’t fancy getting sick and i don’t think i could have displayed any of my cards… so, it bugs me, but i am going to another craft fair here in tampere this weekend (if you happen to come from tampere, come and say hello at Annikin puutalokorttelin myyjäiset on saturday from 11-17, more info on http://www.annikinkatu.net ).

i also landed that job i mentioned earlier, and i’ve been working for the past two days. the first day was pretty bad, i felt really useless but today was a bit better. we’ll see how it goes from here :) well, i’ll better getting some sleep soon, as i have a lot to day tomorrow. hopefully i’ll have some pics this weekend to show :)
