Pearl and Silver Chain

Just a quick one today, guys! A photo of a newly finished commission - a delicate silver necklace with tiny white pearls. I'm pleased with this one and will be making more! It really suits the customer as well. She's a friend of my mum's and she's a small, delicate kind of a person. I hope she likes...

I've spent this evening uploading the audiobook of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' to an ipod...sending it to my baby sister (she's in Cambodia for a year) as her Christmas present. There's 20 cds but it's actually not taking that long. I'm about halfway though :)

Anyway, I must go to bed now. Going to try and go swimming at uni early tomorrow as I need to start getting more exercise!

Family of Four Minus One

So, my baby sister flew off to Cambodia today for her year working with HIV/AIDs orphans :(

I'm going to miss her, but I'm soooo jealous! My other sister and I will, if we get our acts together, spend a few weeks in South Africa next summer working with monkeys and elephants, but that's so far away :(

Man, all this goodbye stuff makes me emotional and tired. I feel like I could sleep for a week! Before I do, have a couple of Etsy listings :)

Yes, the white one is almost identical to the giveaway necklace. Just so people can buy one if they don't win ^.~

Oooooh also, for those gamers among you, check out the GuildWars 2 trailer - http://www.guildwars2.com/en/
I'm more excited about that than Diablo III and I have even longer to wait!

Sorry about the formatting on this one, but it's late and I'm too tired to fix it.

Night!

New Necklaces and a Sad Evening

Hello everyone.

Firstly I'm just going to say how STAGGERED I am at how many giveaway entries I've had. It's only the third day of the contest and there are currently 40 entries, with a total of 21 people. Thank you all!

I also listed five new necklaces on Etsy tonight!
Pink Pearl Cascade: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29753013 (essentially a pink version of the giveaway necklace)
Seashell Cluster Necklace: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29754416
Spiral Pearl Necklace: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29755108
Pearl Tear Necklace: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29755684 (probably my favourite)
Small Pearl Ruche Necklace: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29756681

Take a look and see what you think, as ever feedback and constructive criticism is welcomed!

Despite all the Etsy goodnes, I'm feeling really quite down tonight. It's a Sunday, which always means a small bit of sadness in the evenings as it's the longest time before I see my partner again. He lives about three hours drive from me, so we really only get to see each other at the weekends. Added to that is the fact that on Thursday, my smallest sister is flying to Cambodia for a whole year. She's working with AIDs orphans and won't be coming home until next August. It's only just hit me...I'm going to miss her so much and she's going so soon.
I keep trying to tell myself that a year isn't -that- long and that when I'm back at uni the time will fly by, but it's not helping much :(

On a more positive note, my dad and his fiancee have set a date for their wedding! September 11th, 2010. Unfortunate I know, not entirely sure who's idea it was. Still, it will be fun! And I get to be a bridesmaid :D
