I'm really stressed this morning, nothing major, just the usual way too many demands on my time type of thing so I took a break to come on here and catch up.....and now I feel all energised and inspired again:T So thanks to everyone posting here.

@Memorygirl You are amazing, that was yet another fantastic idea such a lovely thing to do for Claire especially when you are so busy with your own plans just now. Wait till MrBig reads that, he'll be so certain he made a great decision when choosing to work with you. :wave:@MrBig because I know he's lurking!

I think it gets explained in the thread somewhere along the line, but it is a source of great hilarity that some early readers thought they were helping a woman.

He was so down he didn't expect anyone to read or even answer so it didn't much matter what he called himself.

Thanks, I'll check Mikes threads out myself soon instead of hijacking this one with questions:)

Oh and my mess jewellery on the windowsill and 2 boxes of jewellery on the dining table.....

Remember how one of the first things MrBig got MG to do was to set up a desk. I think you need to to the same. Using the dining room table is going to stress you out because you'll have to keep packing and unpacking everything to fit around meals/homework, etc. You need somewhere that you can leave the beads, gift wrapping, envelopes that you won't have to be putting them away every 5 minutes.

The photos you posted are fabulous. I don't think these should be one off pieces. Make loads of them which should be fast to do because most of the work, all the designing and thinking goes into the first pair, after that you are just copying them.

DD2 has a serious pretty earring habit so I showed her your website, which she loved (I will be ordering some for her Christmas stocking as I like to put a little prezzie in with the chocolate etc - nearly 21 and still wants a stocking!!) She has a pretty good idea of prices because she is always buying earrings and she thought your prices were mostly fair but one or two could be higher eg she would have expected pretty pendants like Golden Rose to go for £15

Hope this helps
