Well I thought I would put a quick post whilst I am on my lunch break at work. I have been so busy the last three days and so tired. This weekend is also hectic so I dont think I will get much Jewellery done again.

On the bright side its my mums Birthday tomorrow so I am helping her with a party that she is organising. I don't mean to blow my own trumpet (well I do!!..lol) but I am an amazing cook. It should be a great night and on Sunday I am going to Alton Towers... Whiiipppeeeee.....!!!

That will be me screaming at the front... I have been practising for the last two days..

Well my lunch is over, oh yeah someone complemented my jewellery today... ooh actually two people have. I am so proud of myself.

Well I had go back to kicking some Defendants Butt!!

New Organiser for my Beads

Well the bank holiday is almost over and its back to work tomorrow.

I bought a new organiser today from Hobby Craft, I keep saying I'm going to stop shopping there because it is too expensive but I couldn't help myself (too impatient)..


This is the bag that I bought and its perfect for my beads and tools. It comes with a small bead tray with a lid all for £15. I put all my beads in it, I didn't realise I had so many I have nearly filled all the compartments. I feel better now that the are more organised.. hmmm

I had another good day promoting my jewellery and registering the website on more directories. I have decided to join etsy, pink doodle etc so that I can drum up some recognition. This is a lot of hard work drumming up interest and business.

I am going to America in a couple of weeks and I have already arranged to visit some of the local bead shop.. Oooo I am so excited I want to try to get some unusual beads.

I bought my first bead magazine today because it came with a free colour wheel, it was a Bead & Button Special, Brilliant Crystal Jewelry 2. wow I have some new techniques to try, it looks really complicated. I think I am going to look on you tube to see if anyone has done a video so that I can try the designs on there. I will keep you posted as to how I get on.

Okay enough about jewellery, I feel that I am starting to get addicted to Texas Hold em Poker on facebook. Luckily I am really bad and loose more than I make but I find it therapeutic.

Well thats enough for today..

My First Ever Blog!! Whoop Whoop

Well I have decided that I think its about time i joined the blogging community.

My name is Tatty and I am creative..lol

Okay I am a graphic and web designer (http://www.dbyt.co.uk) and I have recently started making my own jewellery (http://www.tattyslittlegems.co.uk) plus I manage a hip hop group (http://www.myspace.com/shogunproduction) all in my spare time. During the day I support solicitors and barristers for the company I work for. Surprisingly I have a social life too but luckily its not that busy.

Well My little Gems are my focus at the moment as I am really enjoying making jewellery however I do need to find my niche as I have only been doing this now for about 4 weeks. I have made about 13 pieces but only 9 are online at the moment. As I have just started making jewellery I am selling them from £5 at the moment.

I am also going to start selling watches which I am looking forward to doing so today I am ordering all the pieces to get started.

Ooh I am tempted too go to hobby craft now because they are doing a craft bag for £15 that I have had my eye on.. hmmmm!!

So plan for today - add new jewellery to my website, buy bag at hobby craft, order watch pieces and design some flyers for my jewellery. I need to also finish a website I am working on for my artist http://www.jessusscjackson.com... Well I had better get started!!
