Jewellery by RMC

Afternoon all,

Tried 'chaos wrapping' for the first time, thanks to help and advice from forum members... whaddaya think?

This is just s.plate, but I'm thinking I'll redo them when I get sterling in stock.

The stone's carnelian btw.

Hope everyone's well. I can't believe I have ONE day left of my days off, and I'm back to work on Thurs. Where does the time go..?!

Spent all my birthday cash now. Bought two rings in a sale yesterday lunch time. Which arrived today! Yes... today!!! Honestly, the service from this place is just outstanding. Not a handmade site, but when you get delicious jewellery, a sale, and awesome service... you're gonna buy something, right?! :p I've used them before and would highly recommend.

Also bought some clothes today; a new top, skirt and partly crochet long length cardi. I've realised I have a purple fetish. Everything I bought today has purple in it, or IS purple. lmao.

Later!

Hi all,

Quick sneak peek of some pieces I'm making with the new delivery of gems! Oh gosh I love em, lol. All earrings so far, as they're the quickest and easiest to make imo.

On the far left, peace stone (form of Jade I believe). In the middle is again, peace stone. Both from the same string of beads. On the far right is snakeskin agate, which I adore.

These will probably be saved for my 'hopeful' Misi store, which still has to be looked at, let alone set up, lol. I'll get there.

Speaking of which, I'm still unsure of what to call the store. Do we think Jewellery by RMC, just like my store/webpage, or something different? I'm thinking the same, but opinions are always welcome.

Uhm... only other thing is a bit of a downer. My bead bracelets that were in a local store are now not in a local store. She was willing to give them a month, which she did, and nothing sold. :( Do you wanna bet now that they're no longer available there, someone will go in and ask? *sigh* It's all a learning curve, and in the lap of the gods I know, but it still kinda sucks. She's willing to keep on my business cards though, which I guess is something.

Okay, gonna go. Maybe catch up with other blogs, or maybe do something else. Not sure, lol. Depends on how the head behaves.

Later!

Don't you just love it? Ordered from Beads direct with their discount voucher, and I figured, may as well order a fair bit, to make the voucher really worthwhile. (lol, I love my way of thinking)

It arrived today, SUCH a heavy parcel!!! I wasn't expecting it to be quite so hefty, and dear lord, when I opened it and looked inside... ohhhhhh wow, they're glorious! I'm like a kid with new toys. Seriously.

I've found that I adore peace stone (form of jade?), and have some gorgeous jaspers too. Black obsidian, agates, turquoise, amethyst... I'm drooling at the thought! Might post some pics if I get round to it, if not, you'll just see the finished pieces. I have nothing planned for them though. Not yet. I'll take my time, and just see what happens.

I'm planning on starting up a Misi store, so you should see some of the new pieces there as well as my site.

*grin*

Oh yeah baby!!!

Yep, I've been busy today. I couldn't yesterday, as my brother, sister in law, and 5 nieces were here. Yep. 5 nieces. LOL. Kinda hectic. So, I got very little achieved yesterday at all.

But, today so far I've ordered some new pillow boxes for my pieces, in a couple of sizes and ordered some new gemstones from Beads Direct because of the discount I was sent. Spending money is the last thing I need right now, but what the hell. :p

Been trying to order from Panduro, but can't. Will persevere, but I keep getting a page not found error when I try to pay for the order. I've emailed, and am waiting to hear back. I'll try again later, but at the moment I can't do anything more. Shame, as it's a relatively big order, and things I kinda fancied from them. Want to try and fancy up my packaging if customers want it, and for my fine silver range. But, if I can't order from them, I guess I'll have to look elsewhere. *sigh*

I think that's it. I wanted to get some pieces made up this weekend, but time is against me. Since yesterday was pretty much spoken for, and today is kinda busy too, I might have to wait until next weekend.

Later!

Btw, happy mothers day to all mothers out there!

Rach, x

Edit; Okay, must have just been a glitch on the system at Panduro. Payment now gone through, lol.

Don't know why I'm posting this, but here you go. This is my fave pic of me.

Maybe I should add this to the right side here..? Instead of the garden shot? As long as it doesn't scare people, lol. Hmmm.

I will get back to posting about my crafting and business soon.

Promise!

Rach, x

Omg, just been compared to Lilly Allen!

Yep, tis my birthday. 21 again... aka 35. Didn't do anything apart from work, so nothing to report on that end. New bag, and cash because apparently I'm difficult to buy for. LOL.

Only other news is that my boss's fiancé had a look at my website and was very impressed. I like it when I get told things like that, so I'm sure she won't mind me mentioning it here. ;)

Anyway. Later!

Rach, x

I started this blog in the hope that I'd be able to attend it on a regular basis, and post updates, show new pieces, ask things, talk about things... and I've done very little of that lately. :(

Just wanted to say that, and that I'm REALLY busy this week, with staff shortages, illness, holidays, cutbacks etc, and am just whacked... and it's only Tuesday. Doesn't bode well for the rest of the week. I probably won't be around much at all until the weekend, and then I have all the boring real life things to catch up with, lol.

Will try my bestest though, and much love to all who follow me and that I follow.

*mwah*

Yep, business has been neglected tonight. Not only have I had the delights of the corrie wedding, but things on comic relief that have been funny or intrigued me.

David Tennant rocking with Franz Ferdinand!!! Woop! Too cool. Loved Corden and the England players too. Quite a cool night.

Been twittering like a fool though some of it though, or just watching the posts come up.

Night sped by, but I've done nothing really. Oh well. Back to business as usual tomorrow I hope, lol.

Just finished my main present for Mothers Day. She liked another Carnelian necklace I made, so I did this one for her. She was gutted when I sold the other one, lol.

I really like the colour of this, and the central pendant is actually a little lighter than this image makes it seem. All finished with sterling silver of course, with a lovely extender chain.

Really like this one!

Other news... nothing much. Playing with art clay, having to make repairs for the first time. Hope it works when I fire it, lol. Using paste/slip, so fingers crossed. Because of the repair, I guess this pendant will be another for me, which is fine (lol). I can't guarantee the quality of it, so I'd rather not risk selling it.

Practice makes perfect, right? At least that's what I hear.

Also making another smaller pendant, with a flower stencil. Now, the last time I used a stencil it didn't work and I had to do most of it by hand. Hmmm. *ponders* Time will tell if I made a wise move here, lol

Going for a coffee before I expire. Why does my muse love headaches?!

Afternoon,

First off, why do I always have headaches on my days off?! Unfair!! Yesterday and today. *humph*

Anyway, I now have Facebook and MySpace, so if anyone wants me to add them, holler. Still playing around, and can't for the life of me figure out the url to my Facebook page, and you know it's gonna be something simple, right?

This necklace is something I do occasionally, and have sold a few. I don't have any on my site at the moment, but I might add one eventually. It's sterling silver and Swarovski crystal. This one is actually still for sale, I just don't know if I'm using it on the site, or taking it for a mini stall in the summer. Maybe I should add it to the site now, and if it doesn't sell, take it then..? Oh decisions.

Rach, x

I can't quite believe this.

Heard of Moshulu shoes? Well, Moshulu Dumfries now have some of my bracelets! In a real store. With windows and a door and everything! *faints* Seriously, is this really happening?

They're lampwork beaded bracelets, fairly simply put together, but the colours are really nice. Beads are from Beadservice (gotta do a name check) and gorgeous, btw. The colours are really pretty and match the colours of Moshulu shoes 'this season'.

We'll see what happens, but for now, they have 7 of my bracelets, 3 actually in the window!

*grin*

Woooo!! First post!

Well, I finally decided to get a blog. I usually don't do these things as my life isn't nearly that exciting. But, now that I've started my own business, and want it to thrive and be awesome, then I figured why not?

I'll mainly update this with any new jewellery that I create, or for ideas and inspiration if it's lacking. Sometimes my muse hides, and she usually prefers me to be in pain. *nods* Honest, that seems to be when I'm my most creative, when I'm in pain with a headache. I know, I'm strange.

Anyway, it's Sunday night, so I'm away to watch some mindless telly before bed. I've been off work for a week, and I can't believe I'm back tomorrow.
