I have just added four new products to the website after photographing them today.

Amethyst, sterling silver and swarovski crystal bracelet

Wild Mulberry classic bracelet made with lentil and donut shaped lamppwork beads earrings Starry skies pendant made with hand made lampwork beads bracelet Navy storm bracelet made with handmade lampwork beads bracelet

I have replaced the four new items from last week on the "Newest item" slot on the home page and I realise that all the new products I added last week were blue and these four are all blue/purple based too.

I really must start melting other colours of glass!

View Article  Give the dog a bone

I am so tired this morning. Missy, my dog kept me up all night. She stole a lamb bone out of the bin yesterday morning and as she's had bones before (not chicken) and she was enjoying it so much, I let her keep it. Big mistake! She is never ever ever having a bone ever again.

She started acting weird about 4.30pm during her afternoon walk. She was kind of getting down on her haunches and then she had diarrhea, then she was sick. She didn't want to have anything for her dinner and we were so concerned we rang the vet after a couple hours and she still couldn't settle. She was acting like she couldn't get comfortable. We were worried she had gone a bit of bone stuck. The vet asked some questions and he thought she had got colic from what she had eaten and told us to bring her in in the morning.

I slept with her downstairs on the sofa to keep an eye on her and she was up and down all night and sometimes she was panting. She finally settled down at around 4.30am and so I managed to get a couple of hours shut-eye finally.

DH took her to the vet this morning. He just rang me to say he felt a right old fraud because she was acting absolutely fine. The x-ray showed nothing and the vet had a good old feel around saying everything seemed comfortable. He says she probably just had really bad indigestion and he gave us some tablets and liquid parrafin to ease everything through. She is on a strictly bland diet now too - serves her right!

I'm really glad she's OK.  She's very good company when I'm making beads and jewellery and she makes me stop and take exercise which is very good for both of us!
