Gorgeous New Designs

In the process of setting up my new website, I have the task of creating 20 lines for the site. It's hard work, creating things that I think will sell and also that it is possible to create and sell in a profitable way. But, I think I have struck gold with this:

Isn't it cute? It's great because it's totally designed by me, I even made the flowers using three different types of beads, petals, leaves and tiny contrasting faceted round beads. It's so colourful and cute, I have put it up for sale on Etsy for a super-cheap £8, but it will be £10 when my website launches, and this is the ONLY one I will be selling at this price (my beautiful prototype - ooohh I'm so proud!) so snap it up!

I have been working on my packaging this week too, here is an order ready to send out:

I would love to know what you think of the stickers being used like this, and how I have tagged the jewellery. I want to make it look funky and original, I'm not really sure about this lime green. A couple of people have suggested black, which might look better, what do you reckon?

On a totally unrelated note, here is a picture of me with my little boy in Brighton over the bank holiday. It was such a beautiful day, I got a great tan, and the tiny fellow had his very first dip in the sea.

You can see more photos of us beaching it up on my flickr account - including the little one's first dip in the sea and my boyfriends mad hair - fun!

Sticker Sticking

Yesterday I walked down to the print shop in the pouring rain, and picked up my fab new stickers!

Aren't they cute? The guy in the shop was really nice too, I forgot to take the raincover for my fatty's pram, and they gave me a carrier bag to cover up his poor little wet leggies. I felt really bad, but Ramsey was just giggling at me fussing over him, he is such a little rascal! So, when we got home I made up an earring card:

What do you think? They will probably be on black card in the end, but I thought this was a good example because the colours all matched. I couldn't resist sticking a few stickers around town either, so I'll be waiting to stem the huge flow of traffic I am expecting from this wicked marketing plan!
