Arrgghhhh! Beads are here so I go to make earrings, only to find out that i've gone and ordered the wrong colour component for some of the earrings, so some orders are fulfilled others arn't . And I want to do this full time and come of benefits, I can't even get the orders I have right, I'm so kicking myself

*off to order the right ones and pm everybody*

Claire - can I ask that you stop kicking yourself!? I have to stop myself kicking myself too!

We all make mistakes - but when we make them we engage in what is called "critical self talk" calling ourselves all the names under the sun if we are not careful - and yet if a friend made the same mistake we'd tell them never mind, brush yourself off and go order the right ones - which is a much more positive place to be...

Just a thought....

Dedicated DFW, I'll PM you.

MG, my book is here!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to hear how it all went for MG but off to the theatre tonight for a long awaited trip to see Black Watch. Not cheap but supposed to be great so better get ready. XXX

Thank-you! I think I've only got one pic online at the moment... here . I really need to get a website sorted out... oh and choose a business name! (Heeellllpppp!) :eek: Never tried bead weaving - knowing me I'd drop beads absolutely everywhere! :rotfl:

I prefer texturing and shaping silver - there is nothing quite like attacking a piece of silver with a blowtorch or hammer if I've had a bad day at work! :rotfl: I also have a serious addiction to pretty semi-precious stones/beads too.

Do you have space for a bookcase, trolley or small set of drawers or similar in the room where you craft? It is important that you have somewhere you can work and store everything. Or what about something like this, this, (or your own version) or prym clip / stackable boxes for the stuff you are currently working on which can be tidied away easily and quickly with your packaging / larger stocks of things stored elsewhere?

For a while I was using a cheap and cheerful basic computer workstation to work at - Space on top to store things in a racks/boxes etc, the pull out keyboard shelf to work on and a shelf underneath to store larger things. It fitted in a really small space and the working area of the keyboard shelf could be stored away as is to make it even smaller. (Use a beading mat or tray if it is stuff that is likely to roll away when you close the keyboard shelf though - I speak from experience! :rotfl:)
