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?

Drum roll Please
Sarah from Pookledo.
This is her lovely work and you can find her at the links below.




Kashmira from Sufalee
Her lovely work is here and her links below.


Rana from Definitive Designs by Rana Wilson
Ranas work is here and at her blog as well. 


Sandra at Skye Creative 
Pretty Jewelry and Art work as well.



And last but not least is the lovely Leah. 
You can find her here http://beadyeyedbunny.blogspot.co.uk/ and this is just a small sample of her work. 
Enjoy the eye candy and feel free to contact the lovely ladies if you want to purchase a piece of their work. Handmade by the artist is a wonderful way to go and you get designer originals that no one else will have. 
See you soon.

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

Time to send them to a new home. They are approx 1 1/2 inches from the curve of the Sterling Silver hook to the bottom.Not too heavy, not too light, Just right.
Just leave me a comment and then email me at fusionmuseoffice@gmail.com and I will put you in the draw and let you know next Winning Wednesday who won.

I am having to put this on hold for a bit. I have cancer and as such cant focus on here. Please note I will be in touch as soon as I am well enough to play or if I am not able to someone will let you all know.Love and hugs Tanya 



After sitting and playing with my lovely gemmies and metals a little of late I want to share.
It is my hope for as many of you who ask, to be able to play as well.
Starting this week we will give away up to 5 parcels of beads to those who have a current, active blog. As time goes on depending upon interest this number may increase.
All items that are sent out will be available through our Etsy store unless sold out.

The game rules are :
1. Have a blog that is current (in other words you must be using it regularly and not just once in a blue moon).
2. You are being asked to host the blog button in the pages you blog about your free beads. Copy and paste the code from below.
3. You are asked to blog a minimum of three times about the beads you get; once when you get them (a pic is good with a link as to where you got them), the second time as you create (a work in progress) and the final time is when your creation is completed. You are not expected to use every bead (but you can) and you can add in items from your own stash to complete the items you make.
4. Share your blog pages with us and others.
That's all.

How to play: 
1. Copy the code for the button and put it in your blog.
2. Leave a comment with your blog address so I can follow you.
3. Follow us so you can keep up with all the news.
4. If you dont win this week come back again another week and leave a comment and your blog address so I can enter you in that weeks draw.Make sure I can find an email as this is how I will notify you when you win.If your unsure email me at fusionmuseoffice@gmail.com and I will record it. Thanks
5. Have fun.

What you will get :
I will send you a set of beads enough to make at least a necklace if not more. Value will be dependant upon stock available. Findings may be include depending upon what is available.
Shipping will be by registered Air Mail and depending upon your location may take 10-21 days to arrive. Your parcel will need a signature for collection and will be trackable so we know you have them.

Fine Print :
1. You can apply for giveaway beads as often you want but the limit is one set per household per three months. (This gives time for others to play as well as for you to create).
2. If you choose not to follow the rules then we will choose not to allow you to play again.

The Code for the Button
Copy and Paste this html code into your blog page when blogging about your Beads so that others can have a chance to play too.




Thank You for Playing and please come by our store to see what other goodies we can send you in the bundle. 

I am excited to share. Looking forward to sending out parcels.
Love and Hugs
Tanya

Thoughtful Thursday



I have been sorting myself for the last few weeks. Oh my Gosh what a mess!!!! LOL
My life has been kind of on hold because my headache returned and so I was trying to work out how to reduce the headache. I even went off my pain meds to see if that would help and whilst it did for a few days I am now using them again to get through the day.
So a Thoughful Thursday. There are so many many ideas running in my head and it is time to implement them. As a result one of the things I want to do is the join the Bead Soup Blog Hop. Once a year it is hosted by the lovely Lori and here is the link. Sign up is this weekend. You can join too as long as you fit the rules.
Ok off to do some more.
See you tomorrow.
