Hello 2010!

Happy New Year 2010 everyone!

How fast time has flown since my last post in 2009. December last year was really a busy time for me. I moved to a new place and hurried up to get things organized hoping that I could feel a home-sweet-home atmosphere within a week or two. Boy, I was wrong! There were always issues that I had to handle with great patience and that left me with no chance to update my blog until today.

Besides having a new place to live in, December 2009 also marked publication of my first earrings project in a British magazine Bead issue 19, December 2009/January 2010. The earrings showcase wonderful artisan lampwork glass beads made by Lorna Prime and paired with Swarovski crystals and sterling silver findings. When I made them, I ensured that all elements would get noticed and the design is simple enough even for a beginner to follow. Better get a copy to prove it!
