Wow I completely forgot that I had this blog!

I have just today created a Graces Goodies Facebook group  Join to find out what's happening and see pics of what we have been making lately.

On a totally random note, here is a pic of the jewellery that I made and wore to my wedding in September last year. Its Swarovski pearls in off white with Swarovski spacers and sterling silver findings and clasps. It was super comfy to wear and sparkled perfectly in the sunlight!

If you are looking for jewellery for that special day, flick us an email and we can custom make the perfect accessory for you.

Stay tuned for more gorgeous updates as we continue to develop our web store and jewellery lines

Time Flys...

Today I have spent most of the day taking and cropping and adjusting photographs of our jewellery to upload onto Graces Goodies.

Its unbelievable how much time it takes to upload 100 photos, chose the best ones, crop and sharpen the edges, re-name, re-size and file them in the right place.

So after spending several hours staring at the screen (in between all the mum stuff like making lunch, washing the clothes and generally being needed) I have managed to upload a whopping 2 new products into the store...I know, I'm slow but getting there inch by inch!

This is an absolutely gorgeous Swarovski crystal and pearl bracelet that I made recently, it can be found here. It took me a few hours to make and ended up looking nothing like the vision I had in my head when I began. Each bead is attached to the chain with a wrapped loop that I just love doing (although after about a hundred of them my thumbs start to hate me).

The other piece I loaded was this funky sea foam glass necklace. I just loved the colour of these beads when we got them last week and had to make something straight away. They remind me of the ocean, cool and clean. You can find this necklace here.

Cathie is working on a funky black and white combination, with some acrylic and glass beads that I can't wait to see and will load a pic when she is done.
