Cor blimey am a lazy bu--er

Ooh ladies I'm so so lazy I should be busy cleaning today but so far Ive not done much, I've been chatting online most of the morning to my sister from another mister Eily (yer a bad infuence on mi sis lol) and texting my real sister and chatting on the phone to hubby. I finally said bye to eily, for the last time (it takes us awhile to sign off lol) and thought right come on Andie get on with some cleaning and yet here I am about an hour later back online AGAIN tututtut Andie I should be ashamed I really should. I do have an excuse though I've stopped for lunch or at least thats what I'm telling myself lol.
I've only managed to dust and tidy the living room kitchen and hallway, hoover the hall and kitchen and mop the kitchen floor so far. I thought I might aswell have my lunch before I hoover the living room as I'm sure to drop crumbs from my bread and lemon curd and I dont want to have to do the job twice, once is bad enough.  When I've done with lunch I'll hoover the living room including the sofa and swap all the cushion round and then move upstairs I'll start on the bathrooom  first YUK!!!!! I hate doing the bathroom and I hate the smell of bathroom cleaners too. I've tried tons of different ones and they all smell disgusting don't they. Don't know if you've guessed  yet but I don't like housework.
Still I suppose we all have to do things in life we don't like and I did get to do something I really enjoy doing  last night, now now girls I don't mean that !!! I'm not going xrated on my blogs, I mean making jewellery. Hubby went out snowboarding yesterday evening so I thought ooh what shall I do with myself and decided on playing with my beads. I'd had a couple of ideas for necklaces I wanted to make and so out all my stuff came and away I went. I was still at it long after hubby came home and even after he went to bed , not that I made that much but a few of the pieces I made took quite a while to make as there were a lot of individual pieces to attach.
I'll be doing a bit more bead shopping soon as I'm getting low on a few components and my best customer who works with hubby paid me for some jewellery she bought this week so I have a small amount of funds burning a hole in my pocket now. She asked hubby if I could make her a purple necklace and bracelet to go with a new dress she had and would I send in some purple beads so she could take them home and match them to the dress which is what we often do. I made up a little pack of the different purple beads I had and sent them to work with hubby along with a few purple pieces I already had made. The next day she came back and said she had found a set that matched in the made up ones I sent and also 3 more necklaces and a bracelet that went with other outfits she had so she wanted to buy them too.  I told you she was my best customer lol, I think she beats me with her love of jewellery .
Right well i better go now and get on lunchtime is over awwwwwwwwww int it a shame,lol.
These are the pieces I made last night.

Forgive me bloggers it has been 3 long days since my last blog

Hope you all had a good bank holiday weekend. Mine was good but quiet, we don't tend to venture too far on a bank holiday as traffic is usually terrible. So we went to the supermarket, then had the rest of saturday and sunday at home and then did a little bit of shopping on Monday.
Bank holidays always throw me off a bit day wise. I find myself wondering what day of the week it is after the long weekend. I have to keep asking hubby what day we're on, I'm usually a day behind all week and then all of a sudden its the weekend again. 
Hubby was back to work today and I was back to the sewing machine again. I was in the mood for sewing and so I decided to make a few more shopping bags. They're just the same sort of simple shopper as before but this time with a longer handle so they can be carried on the shoulder as well as by hand.
Tonight I added a few more items of jewellery onto my website. I made some new pieces before the last fair I had and swapped the stock over in the shop that sells some of my womens jewellery too so we have quite a bit to add. We've got a bit behind on keeping it upto date lately though with hubby being on holiday and then working early for a couple of weeks but we've made a start and hopefully we'll have everything on there soon.

First go at blogging

My first blog and wow now I'm stuck for what to put. I'm sure that will change and soon I'll be rabbiting on like a mad woman. I've created this blog to chronicle my crafts mainly jewellery making although I do like to knit and I am just getting back into sewing too.
