Back To Work

I have gone back to work! I work in a call centre for a holiday company called Siblu. We sell family holidays to France, Spain and Italy. I quite like it, I like solving peoples travels issues (never problems!) and chatting to my buddies in the office and generally being a normal human being again!

Needless to say, I have been so totally exhausted that I haven't even taken any photo's of my little guy, let alone of jewellery and crafting. What I need is two weeks in the Bahamas with a pair of jewellery pliers and a bottle of vodka. Anyone fancy buying me a trip in exchange for...shall we say a pair of earrings?

Anyway, I'll spending Saturday on a mad crafty spree!

Rainbow Fun

Etsy has this searching tool called a 'Treasury'

Basically, it's a group of 12 items that match a certain theme or look good together. Anyone can make one, but there are only 333 spots, so you have to wait for one to expire before you can nab one. I sat waiting last night for the number to drop and YES! I got it!

Here is my Rainbowtastic Treasury (you can click here to see the real thing if you are a member of Etsy - leave a comment so that my treasury gets pushed higher up the list!)


And yes, Captain Eagle Eye, I did sneak in my gorgeous Meadow bracelet, because what's a bit of shameless self-promotion between friends?

I got a little packet in the post this morning, it was a bunch of butterfly charms to make bracelets with - they are so cute! I was really pleased because I ordered 12, and the lovely seller sent me 15, plus a little bag of freebie goodies! The post this morning bought another revelation too. I'm going back to work! I have been on maternity leave for 9 months, and although I love being at home with my little boy, we need the moola really. So...I am going back, evenings only, 6-9and one weekend day. This with give us 50% more again than what I am getting now, so plenty for treats for little dude and me! I start June 02. I know, I'm going to be knackered aren't I?
