It's a bit rubbish...

Please keep in mind the quality of our images does go down slightly when we add the watermark to it, which is pretty rubbish but I'd rather get credit for my images if somebody does wish to use them, rather than have my good quality images all over the place with no recognition. 


If you wish to see the images without the watermark for any reason please request this and we will see what we can do :) 


Thanks guys x

Even more new stuff...

These are some gorgeous limited edition earrings that will be available at the pop-up shop then hopefully afterwards in our usual stock (we will be trying to get hold of some more of the buttons to make more).

I personally love them and will be showing off my own as of tomorrow :) (The great thing about making my own jewellery is that I have the choice to only make one earring because I only have one available ear piercing on my lobe as my right side ear is body modified at 10mm so will not fit a normal size earring, rather than me having to buy a pair and waste half my money because I can only use one!)

However, a lot of our earrings can be used to fit in other ear piercings, rather than just the lobe, such as the pinna (top of ear) and tragus. I will be testing and showing this personally over the next few weeks :)

Today we've also made some 'Build me up' brooches and cufflinks, as well as some 'Rosette' brooches and 'Lost my heart at sea' rings before we went out to a family thing.

This is what I wore;
Dress - from 'New Look' (bought it ages ago and hadn't worn it yet!)
Cardigan - was my Nana's :)
Boots - vintage fair!
Cameo brooch - 'Blue Rinse' in Leeds
Not shown: I also used my new blue handbag from the vintage fair and wore one of our own 'Build me up' rings in red <3
                                 
I dress like an old lady sometimes and I love it!

We're hopefully getting the cards and everything sorted tomorrow ready for the shop on Thursday :) Got a rescheduled meeting on Tuesday to finalise things on the sales team, and also really really need to get our sales pitch and prices sorted D: Eeeek.

Thanks for reading x

Who doesn't love party umbrellas?

Getting into the Christmas spirit with hot chocolate....and a party umbrella :')

We've got a snow day off college today but all our 'stuff' and making bits and bobs are at my house so we can't do any making :(

There's no buses running and there's still a LOT of snow, our meeting's definitely cancelled and I'm not sure how well the pop-up shop will run if the weather stays like this :(

Hopefully our online orders will still make it to us in time, and we still need to go sort out the cards and everything that we didn't get to last night.

On a happier note, we're wrapped up nice and warm watching 'the lion, the witch and the wardrobe' :)

Snow update...

Just checked our college website, and it says the college is definitely closed tomorrow and possibly Friday, but we need to wait and see what happens tomorrow before they decide about Friday.

I'm assuming the meeting is going to be cancelled seeing as it's within college, but I've sent an email just to confirm.

I'm happy but unhappy at the same time; it'll be nice to spend time inside and warm without having to try and travel and I'll be able to get some sketchbook work done, however our deadline for our actual animation for my brief is next Wednesday and we were supposed to start making them today, but seeing as we can't get in and most of us don't have the software at home I can't see this happening.

For now though, TV+sweets+hot water bottle :3

Snow standstill...

Have these awful pictures of me in the snow from earlier today :')

It's been a nightmare today, a very cold nightmare, where all the shops are shut :')
Here is the lovely, shortened story;

I went into college on the usual bus and got there at 8am, by 9 there was a few more people and we started the day but then parents kept ringing people and saying they needed to come home because of how bad the snow was. They ended up shutting our college at 11, and they never shut our college.

Mike and I then started to go home, we didn't know whether it'd be easier to try get to mine or his, so we chose his and in the shortest way possible, it's taken us 5 hours on foot to do a half hour journey. All the buses were cancelled and nothing was running at all, Leeds literally came to a standstill. We even tried a train but after standing on it for over an hour with no driver, all squished on like sardines we gave up. The snow was ridiculously bad, so thick on the ground and literally blizzarding, brr!  Today's been a nightmare and since we got in I've had a nap with 2 blankets and a hot water bottle because my feet were freezing still coz even though I had my Docs on I still got snow in them :(

I don't know if we'll even bother trying to get in tomorrow if the buses aren't running properly after the day we've had with it today, but we're supposed to be having a meeting about the pop-up shop after college and we were meant to be doing a redesign of the business and jewellery cards tonight too :(

Guhh, just want to sit in with a duvet, with lots of sweeties and hot drinks and films and never move :')

Such a long day :(
