I had a little time this week and so I hand wrapped some chains. These are for sale in my Handmade Artists store. This store and all the stores in this site are guaranteed to have items made by the artists themselves with NO resellers allowed. About time we found a place that will up hold its principles instead of wanting to make a fast buck at others expense.


I have a promo running to give away beads. YES, no strings attached giveaway. No cost involved except a little time and effort to put a button on your blog.I gave away 5 parcels already Are you interested? Take a peek at the rules here. Nothing to lose.

I think this week we will test run this new chain. There are at least 6 different colour combos so all who are interested will get a section of chain and some findings to play with as well as beads.
Looking forward to sending parcels.

I know this was supposed to go a few days ago but I have been held up by a combination of things that were totally out of my control. Hence the late post but it is here now, better late than never.

We had 5 lovely ladies add our Free beads button to their blog side bars and I have sent parcels. How long until they arrive? How long is a piece of string ? LOL  For what ever reason the post takes its own sweet time no matter how quickly I get the bundles to the post office. So expect 10-21 days.
So who won?

Normally I would be featuring someone on a Friday and we will start with guests as of next week. I have had such a fun time kick starting the blog again and getting the free beads competition running and sorting out swaps that the week ran away. I have a jump start on next week though and have it almost finished.
So today let me tell you about me.
I am originally from Australia and grew up in Sydney.I now live in Bangkok and love it here.

Loads of new stuff coming in the second half of this year and many projects that I have been working on for a few months are finally starting to unfold.


I have a hobby and make lovely jewelry to suit many different tastes and styles. I love to use great gems and silver but am now branching out into Brass and Copper as metals of choice. This is because I can get them easily and my new pieces....well I am wanting to melt metal and hammer more.Love my tools.

We have a cat we rescued and 4 bunnies, 2 of whom were blogged about in an earlier post and we all live happily in a small townhouse in the suburbs of Bangkok.

We will be running competitions, giveaways and other fun things as time goes by. What a busy life we lead.

On that note it is time to go and start my next task.
Love and Hugs
Tanya
