NEWSFLASH!!!
Shipping charges are now as follows:-

Items shipped to Australia will incur a $4 postage & handling fee for up to 3 items.  An additional $1 per item will be charged for 4 or more items.

Items shipped to anywhere else in the world will incur a $6 postage & handling fee for up to 3 items.  An additional $1 per item will be charged for 4 or more items.

That means if you live in Australia and you buy 4 items it will cost you $5 for postage.  If you live in USA or Denmark or United Kingdom and you buy 4 items it will cost you $7.

 

Pretty good value!!

********BLOG Update!!******** 

30th December, 2011 - Blog Update!!

Oh No!! It’s Resolution Time Again!!

Well here we are fellow bloggers.

It’s almost the end of 2011.

I’m sure I won’t be alone in wondering where on earth the last 12 months went…hmmm?  Under the bed?  Swept away with the spiders?  In the broom cupboard?  It’s all just a blur really and what did I achieve this year, I ask myself?

Big Fat Diddly Squat!  That’s what!  In Aussie language (in case you’re not familiar with our sometimes strange way of expressing ourselves here in the land downunder) that means very little, almost nothing – at least nothing worth putting up in neon lights proclaiming to the world how jolly good you are.

And it’s been almost a whole year since I wrote this post   What’s In A Resolution??  – which you can read here – if you’re the slightest bit interested of course…lol.  So I thought I would re-visit the “non-resolutions” list I “didn’t” make just for fun to see how many things I managed to “not” do during the year – ha ha!   Here they are:-

TIP For Beaders!!
Now here's a tip for all you beaders who have purchased beads with holes that are quite large.  If you're using a stringing material that is thin (such as tigertail) your bead/s will move around and your stringing material will not sit centrally in the middle of the bead. This may particularly be a problem with handmade lampwork beads which the artist often makes with larger holes to accommodate leather/ribbon etc.  Just string seed beads onto your stringing material and slide the lampwork bead over the top - you may need to experiment with different sized seed beads to ensure they are a snug fit inside the lampwork bead.  I also tend to match the seed beads with the major colour of bead so that they remain as unobtrusive as possible.  Doing this will also ensure that bead caps stay central and don't slip to one side because of the larger hole.
So, don't put off buying that awesome, perfect focal bead just because it has a larger hole than you require!  Fill it up with seed beads!
