The African in me has come out in this necklace. Real turquoise, bone, wood, hand made African glass beads, which have been hand painted. Ceramic tubes, African glass teardrops and stained volcanic rock. The white stone pendant is a recent purchase, I have no idea what stone it is.<br />

iv'e noticed on some of the more popular blogs, that every now and again the blogger complains about unkind comments. is it a result of over sharing? </div>

at last there is an arts and craft market near to where we live. i've been invited to visit before but couldn't work out where the market could be. after my second invite, i made the effort on a sunday morning and was pleasantly surprised. there was not very much art, but some very enterprising stores. pictured are the rather casual seating arrangements. i was sure that once i was seated, getting up was not going to be an elegant affair. i'm toying with the idea of applying to have a stall there. hmmm, but i'm lazy.</div>

there is a first for everyone. i was putting stock out at one of my outlets and spoke to man who needed his mother's rosary repaired. the shop was not keen, so i offered to do it for him. unfortunately some of his beads were missing. so i included gold coloured freshwater pearls and some mother of pearl round beads. he was very pleased with the outcome. so was i, to such an extent, that i want to make myself a rosary. i'm now keeping an eye out for a suitable crucifix and mary.<br />

my mom kept telling me she was bored, but with the dementia, she is no longer able to knit anything with a pattern. i thought squares would be the answer. i bought mom some yarn but we soon realised that even this was difficult for her. some days she just can't remember how. my sister Lindy suggested that everyone in the family knit a square or two with a prayer. above is the completed blanket.<br />

catching up is more time consuming than keeping up, so why i procrastinate i don't know. i think it's because i always seem to have something more interesting to do, than what i know i should be doing. i have this marketing plan in my head but i'm far too distracted and yes, lazy to implement it as i know i should. </div>

i've had the beads used in these two bracelets, probably from when i started collecting beads. the first one has a copy of a "pandora bed" and two spacers which were R45 each, so there is almost no profit in the bracelet being sold for R120. The second bracelet is made up of various glass beads and some ethiopian silver.</div>

this aluminium heart was bought on one of my excursions in jo'burg, with my sister lindy. the heart has been sitting in the stash. when i came across a picture on pinterest of a heart wrapped with wire and beads. i took it a step further, as the heart already had a pattern and tied cotton lace to one side of the heart, then wrapped it with wire with czech glass faceted beads. the heart hangs on a string of matt white wooden beads.<br />

some pieces i give up for sale with a heavy heart but what is the point of my hanging onto the beads or the necklace. an old post office box key, wrapped in leather suede. the beads are ceramic beads from lima beads the artisan being gaea. the glass pony beads are an incredible colour and once again i used the scarce matt cream miyuki beads.<br />

i'd made this pendant ages ago, the wording has no special meaning other than the picture including oriental writing, hence the edge. the pendant is linked to the necklace, with some wire wrapping done with a tool purchased on an excursion to jewellery suppliers in a seedy part of town. the beads are shell, faceted coloured agate, freshwater pearls and some unknown polished stone nuggets, as well as chryscolla chips.<br />

my second attempt at polymer clay birds. the tiny mustard yellow bird sits in a wire wrap nest, perched on a wooden bead. there is a shimmery tassle, leaves and a green glass bicone dangle. i wired a chain of howlite chips, also included are sponge coral tubes, green jade and freshwater pearls.<br />

and finally for this session, a large glass flower bead strung on leather and linen cord with a "pandora bead". on the other side are glass beads strung on 19 strand beading wire.</div>
<div>

<div>
there would of been more, but i've discovered the best time to upload pictures is after 23h00. they upload in a flash. otherwise during the day it takes frustrating hours and plenty of data.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so thanks for visiting, any comments and questions are most welcome. hopefully i'll be here again soon as there is still much to show. </div>

i am torn between the two. i have a dragon fodder page on my fb, i keep this up to date with the jewellery i make and don't seem to be able to make time for the blog as well. liam is now almost four and is in grade 000 at woodhill college, so actually i should have more time. but i've been crocheting, knitting, doing embroidery and drawing/paintiing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
time just goes by. i don't seem to have been doing so much but i'm always busy, never bored. it's been a tough winter, i've had bronchitis about every six weeks. hopefully with spring almost here, things will get better.</div>

we had to move mom from her cotttage to frail care at the beginning of this year. mom has dementia and is no longer able to care for herself. she has become very frail. while clearing out the cottage, i found a box of buttons that mom had been collecting for who knows how long. i made a wrap bracelet for myself and Lindy using some of the buttons. i'm sure i posted a pic of mine earlier.</div>

bevan did a swap, one of my blankets for a display for my jewellery. i don't have a pic of the blanket but claire took it over and bevan needed another one. it had to be big enough to cover all 2 meters of him. i went for chunky yarn to get it done quicker. beautiful large granny square blanket spread out on one of the old beds we inherited from richard's aunt.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">this is what i've decided on as the branding for my little business. i'd like to have little silver metal discs made with the logo's symbol stamped on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">then each piece i make will have this distinguishing mark.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">business cards and a stamp with the symbol also in the pipeline.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">only two pics for today. a button cuff bracelet which was an order. pink cotton crochet yarn, a selection of pink buttons with a background of pink beads in czech glass and other glass beads.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i'd say this was back to my roots. my first bead book was a second hand copy of "world beads" by janet coles and robert budwig. the african beads and designs are in my blood. i'm fourth generation african.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">this 37cm necklace is made up of polished stone nuggets, i've no idea what they are, they came in a packet and the retailer, was also none the wiser. included are african trade beads, probably recycled glass beads from ghana, as well as presiosa seed beads, imported from the u.s.a. the pendants are little african metal charms, i added the jump rings for a bit of movement. it's photographed on a carving done by bevan.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">this 74cm necklace is made up of really beautiful beads. they were all in my stash. the amber beads may come morocco, although i purchased them at an african market in j'burg 4 or 5 years ago. the teardrop shaped beads in brown were most probably made in bohemia and used as trade beads in africa. bevan bought a necklace at the goodman gallery in j'burg. some of them were quite grubby, like they were well travelled. the brown patterned beads are most likely from accra, ghana. there are paper beads from www.mothersforall.org in botswana, two turquoise coloured quartz teardrops, cream bone beads, wooden beads, a millefiori bead and turquoise coloured howlite.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">this 75cm necklace started with the cream flat oval stone (i have no idea what it is). then came the newspaper resin beads, then the cream and black saucers. in my box of ceramic beads i found the lone cream and tan striped bead. this needed the crochet bead. a stone bead, zulu teething beads, dark grey speckled ceramic beads, a glass saucer bead with silver metal bead caps. some hematite discs, black ceramic beads and an arbitrary cream and black bead that looks like a baseball.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the paper beads from www.mothersforall.org have been very inspiring. probably also because they come from botswana. i mixed these large bluish paper beads with lilac paper beads, smaller bluish paper beads and two crochet beads from "bead some more", as well as blue czech glass pony beads. it looks stunning and weighs nothing. the necklace is 72cm long.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">this 82cm long necklace started with the green beads, with the white and yellow design. they are most likely made from recycled glass and originate in ghana. there are creamy/brown bone beads, wooden beads, two foil lamp work beads and a large chip of millefiori in green, brown, white and yellow. the green and yellow teardrop beads came from the necklace purchased at the goodman gallery. the yellow discs were purchased at makkie's shop, "bead some more". </span><br />

<br />
but i have been making stuff, as that keeps me sane.i do post pics more regularly on fb.<br />

many views of the same wrap bracelet. made for an order in australia. not sure its what was expected. the order came about because of jocelynn's cream/white wrap bracelet. then it was suggested that the cream lace might not be such a good idea. couldn't seem to get anything else into my head. so we have lace, linen tape, silk cord, linen cord, a variety of glass, shell, pearls and semi precious beads. the bracelet was modeled by joce, love her tattoo but i'm too conservative to even try.<br />

this bracelet is because of the orange lady bird. i found her at a shop that stocks pearls and gemstones. when they are in china, they buy scoops of mixed glass beads. they have a bowl in the shop, i haven't been there for ages.<br />

i made this bracelet for caron, as she liked the one that had sold. not quite what she was looking for when she tried it on. no worries, it's for sale. the large bead is acrylic and has a print insert. the beads are volcanic rock, glass, seeds and shells.<br />

an order for a black crochet cuff bracelet, with black, grey and silver bead work. i had to rush out and buy the black cotton crochet thread, as i had none. the customer was enthralled with the bracelet and left wearing it. such a sense of achievement when someone loves what one's made.<br />

not something i made. i bought this from makkie (the artist and maker of this piece) a friend who also stocks some of my creations in her shop. she has managed to sell her business, so at least the shop won't be closing. i'm to meet the new owner in the new year. have to find out if she wants to stock my work and the percentage she will take on sales.<br />
<br />
i love this necklace and had been eyeing it for a while. makkie says i love it as it's based on pieces of mine she has had in stock.<br />
<br />
bye for now. household chores to do. how droll. but we have friends over for lunch on monday. must go to mom today and go to the nursery for some plants. need to spruce up the garden for christmas, as we will be having family over. my sister glynis and her hubby james, will be here from the 22nd to the 27th for the festive season. they'll be flying up from east london.<br />
<br />
also got the christmas decorations to put up. busy! busy!<br />
<br />

this was started on sunday and i sat up with it until 12. just didn't look like what i expected. slept on it, thought about it and then made it last night. i'm pleased with it, the doughnut i've had for ages, the little blue bird is from lima beads in the usa.<br />

i found beads for this bracelet while i was scratching for beads for the blue bird above. one of those designs that just evolved into this really stunning bracelet. quirky glamour because of the silver button and some really old pony beads.<br />

my friend makkie who is closing shop, made this necklace for a show in nelspruit. she made the polymer clay orange beads. she used a variety of recycled glass beads, resin, wood and glass. love it and of course get lots of comments and compliments.<br />
<br />
the two bracelets below were made about two weeks ago, the pics were taken with my samsung tablet, i really haven't conquered the camera. but both bracelets sold the day after being made off my fb page.<br />

i'm sure i've mentioned many times that i find beading calming.i didn't want to do anything too demanding. this is the result. i searched out small colourful beads and some charms. i made my own chain by linking the half circle charms. i'd made a similar piece some time ago, my mother in law purchased it from joce's salon and mith wears it regularly. says it goes with so much.<br />

this was the one mith has. a heart theme and more pastels.<br />
<br />
i started on another necklace but it drove me crazy, i don't have the beads for my idea. so some tweaking will have to happen.<br />

<br />
i've managed to keep making pieces regardless of what feels like a killer schedule of late.<br />

feels like i haven't made something like this for ages. it all started with the large disc paper bead that i purchased from lima beads in the us. i added wood beads, small and large discs, faceted agate dyed a blueish grey, as well as preciosa beads. i'm loving my new camera, it takes the most amazing pics.<br />

ever since my sister lindy made a necklace with wooden beads and other things, i've have gone back to wood beads. the fact that they are light make them great for chunky or long necklaces. having said that, here is a bracelet inspired firstly by the turquoise wooden beads and then the large flat oval wooden bead.<br />

when i'm looking for beads for a particular piece and come across something else, that i think could work in another piece, or the bead, focal, charm inspires me, i put it to one side. in this case the inspiration was the green disc beads. they were handmade by a social up-liftment programme. the metal bird was also sitting waiting for inspiration to occur. digging into the box of green beads and voila. i love this green, silver and bronze bracelet. it has glass beads purchased ages ago as well as some interesting charms and separators.<br />

this bracelet which is the same design as the one above, is styled on the three glass lampwork beads. i'd already made a necklace using all the lampwork beads i had. i recently found some more and have used them in this bracelet coupled with seed, glass and preciosa beads, as well as metal fish.<br />

i'd purchased the pewter heart at a local silver jewellery shop soon after i came out of hospital. as i'd had a close call, i felt that the tearful heart was appropriate. but then i was doing some research and found a necklace similar to this one. i felt the heart would be perfect. it was made and sold two days later.<br />

a bit of a change to what i usually do. waxed linen between the polymer clay troll beads. some dyed volcanic rock beads, preciosa beads, that i purchased from shipwreck beads in the usa. the exchange rate is a killer.<br />

this is in a similar vein, just no linen cord. i purchased the carved beads ages ago after a lovely breakfast with caron, one of my oldest friends. i used some of the presiosa beads again, as well as red coral tubes and porcelain beads. i ended up keeping this one.<br />

a wrap bracelet made with a dear friend, caron in mind. a thicker piece of leather, wrapped with a scrap of cotton fabric and waxed linen. this one has a mix of semi-precious stones, sea glass, trade beads and other glass beads collected over the years.<br />

this wrap bracelet came about as a result of my first one, which i wore when visiting my sister in jo'burg. lindy's neighbour ordered this one. i've subsequently made another one for her. no pic available because, see below....<br />
<br />
i accidently thew my camera on the tiled floor and have been taking photos since then, with my samsung tablet. but i haven't managed to figure out how to download from my tablet to my laptop. i'm in the throws of looking for another camera, most likely the canon s110 or preferably the s120.<br />
<br />
i have an order for a wrap from australia and must getting going on that.<br />
<br />
thanks for popping in. i'm going to try and keep this up.Dragonfodder Jewellery Diaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04441623985380829443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455568317903764974.post-58369559863989546802013-11-14T07:24:00.000+00:002013-11-14T07:37:59.030+00:00back from another planetlast here 7 months ago, incredible how time goes by. still busy making beaded jewelery. so much has happened in this time. near death being the most sobering.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I got the teeniest tile from Pearl and Dave with this picture on it. I love it and decided that my friend Bonnie needed it as well, so for her birthday in December I painted her the same picture, much bigger though. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We don't do big/expensive presents for Christmas, we save that special present for birthdays. So I made Bevan a recipe book of our favourites and some newbies. Included are old family photos, with this and that. Took me ages, Bevan only got his present in February. The book in the end was about 30 pages long, but I enjoyed it so. My style of scrap booking.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I can't remember if I've ever posted these, don't think so. Penny a friend of my sister in law, Sylvia, brought some beads to be strung, that she had bought while she was working in the East, China I think. They are the turquoise/green beads with a charcoal vein, I still don't know what they are but they are cold and heavy, so definitely stone. Penny loved both necklaces, her original order was for one. Penny had such diverse choices that I made two necklaces trying to cover all her options, so glad she liked both. The matching bracelet was an extra.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Penny's other stones were these bright orange ones, which are more than likely dyed Howlite. Penny took the 1st one with the turquoise and white ceramic beads. I find orders a bit stressful but then also exciting and of course, great when the customer is happy with the creations.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So here are some things that don't involve the washing and ironing, the cleaning of bathrooms (yuk) and vacuuming.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Saturday a good customer and now a friend, Zelyne, came to choose beads for a "special bead bracelet". My bracelet is made of some beads purchased on holiday last year in Port Elizabeth and East London, as well as some old treasures. Zelyne who is super tidy and organised, said she didn't keep anything, that she didn't use or wear, so she doubted she had anything to add to her bracelet, but was more than happy to scratch in my stash. Zelyne chose so many beads, we decided that perhaps she needed a short necklace. She brought a pair of earrings that she'd got in Bogatar and never wore. I worked on the bracelet from about 12h00 to 18h00. I'd used all the beads Zelyne had chosen and we'd need about another 54. So I decided to weigh the necklace and concluded that the 350g would be too heavy to wear, especially if we still had to add beads. Each bead is individually wired and then attached to the chain with a jump ring, which also adds to the weight. So new chain was chosen and I started again with the bracelet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The first pic above, is my bracelet, the next two are Zelyne's and include her earrings broken up, the large lilac stones are from her earrings.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Sunday morning Rich and I went to a local Antiques and Art Market. Lovely setting on a smallholding. The vendors stands were set amongst the thorn trees and some old outbuildings. I purchased a book and Rich two old metal plates for one of his aviaries.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've started reading the book (bought at the Klip Klap market <a href="http://www.klipklap.co.za/">www.klipklap.co.za</a>), heavy going but still intriguing. I find it interesting to know where old beads come from. Especially beads that are referred to as "trade beads". As they often come from North Africa, I automatically assumed that that is where they were made, but as they are trade beads, they more often than not have landed there from some other place in the world, so fascinating.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Grrrr, I'm not getting to paint. I've got two pictures on the go. The one was on the 99 and I decided to outline what was on the woman's head in black. MISTAKE. So now I need to go over it to hide the black outline. Thank heavens I'm working in acrylic. The other one with the birds has a way to go to completion. Both pictures are "my" copies of work done by Julia Cairns. Nowhere near as good, but at least I feel I'm capturing the essence of the stories.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">These three were completed last night. The necklace is a princess length, large-ish open chain with a collection of heart charms and little glass beads. The orange and grey beads are from Glass and Fire <a href="http://www.glassandfire.co%20za/">www.glassandfire.co za</a>, they are strung with unglazed ceramic beads. The 3rd one has one of the curved tubular glass beads that I found at Moonfull Crystals <a href="http://www.moonful-crystals.co.za./">www.moonful-crystals.co.za.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've always wanted to be able to crochet, my sister Glynis gave me some lessons in April 2012. After buying two books on how to crochet, I set out to make a blanket. Yip! nothing like diving in at the deep end. The blanket is now 2m by 2.2m. I just need to do the border and it's ready for our bed this winter. It's been so hot these last two months that there was no way I could sit with this on my lap doing the edging. So I started.....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">this blanket. Sort of retro/nostalgic/granny colours. I got the tutorial from The Royal Sisters blog, </span><a href="http://www.theroyalsisters.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">www.theroyalsisters.blogspot.com</span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Lindy, my sister found this pattern in a crochet book. She can't crochet and thought this would be a good place to start. I find granny squares easier. Below my wonky cushion which was to be Lindy's birthday present. Hmm, not so sure now!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Bought these two from a roadside vendor last week. Just loved them. They are made from Jakaranda wood and the vendor carved them himself. They now stand in my studio window. I must check with Bevan if I should put some furniture wax on them. Worried they'll discolour though.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Have to go now. Hopefully more tomorrow.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I do still make necklaces. I love beads. On the off chance that I'd find some stones I could afford, I went into Moonfull Crystals <a href="http://www.moonfull-crystals.co.za/">www.moonfull-crystals.co.za</a> and to my delight they had a big bowl of mixed beads. I've scratched in it twice. I just love buying loose beads. The square bead in the blue and green necklace is one of the beads I found. Nothing spectacular, but I love the necklace it makes me smile.</span><br />

I've at last learnt to crochet. I've always wanted to and while we were away in April I asked my sister Glynis to give me a few lessons. Unfortunately, Glynis had not done much crocheting for quite some time and never Granny Squares, which I was desperate to be able to do. Well, Glyn's lessons did help, in that I managed to go round and around in a circle. Then when I got home, I decided that I was going to learn in earnest. I bought myself two books on how to crochet. I feel I'm quite an accomplished knitter and thought that I'd catch on to the crocheting in an hour or so. Humph! not so easy. The book I started on taught you the basics. Thank heavens Glyn taught me how to hold the crochet hook. I did samples of all the various stitches.<br />
<br />
Now it was time for me to start that Granny Square blanket that I'd been dying to make. The whole process was really difficult but I refused to give up. I made Granny Squares every chance I got. And I had to have the book with me. <br />
<br />
The blanket is now about 1.3m square and looking great. The Granny Squares are getting better and better. I haven't needed the book for ages. I'd like the blanket to be 2m by 2.2m, so that it can fit on our bed in the winter.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to try other patterns but am still enjoying the Granny Squares, as I can now do them while watching TV. <br />
<br />
Some more bracelets. I know, Time to do necklaces again. Two on the board.<br />

Aside from the crocheting, I've at last started gardening again. It's so enjoyable but not so easy with Liam, now 2 years and a bit. He wants so badly to get involved and he's absolutely crazy about water.<br />

One of the newest additions to the garden. A planter made by Bevan, they come in various shades, using special (I don't know the technicalities) cement. I adore mine. They retail for R400.<br />
<br />
I'm recipe book crazy, as always and have the new Tessa Kiros, "Limoncello and Linen Water". Tessa's recipe books are to die for. They are so beautiful, so full of soul. I also have "Peri Peri Starfish", "Venezia" and "Falling Cloudberries". Another favourite of mine is Jane Griffiths, I'm enjoying the newest, "Jane's Delicious Herbs". I've also got most of the Jamie Oliver recipe books. Such easy meals to cook.<br />
<br />
I've been pondering how to expand my customer base. So we're going to have a mini market at home, in early November for two days. The Figtree Mini Craft Market. Pretty nervous, hope that I don't make a complete fool of all of us. My beaded jewellery, Bevan's various crafts, Maki's paintings and DJ's Christmas Cakes, wish us luck, I think we're going to need it.<br />

Bevan, a self image sculpture early 2000's I think. This sculpture did not pass the Bevan test. He wasn't happy with how it released from the mold. Anything he makes and doesn't want, I snatch up. If they're paintings, I usually have them framed, the sculptures are either in the house or garden. I suppose I'm like every mother, I think my children, Jocelynn and Bevan, are the most marvelous, clever, wonderful people in the world.Dragonfodder Jewellery Diaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04441623985380829443noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455568317903764974.post-6838404045034924822012-10-12T22:04:00.001+01:002012-10-12T22:08:29.169+01:00FULL FOGGY HEAD<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My heads is always full of ideas. When I actually get down to blogging, all those wonderful things I was going to say disappear into the fog of my full brain. All I can do now is record what I've been making during September and October.</div>

I know, a whole herd of bracelets. In the current economic climate, they are all that seem to sell. I comfort myself with the thought that having to create individual bracelets each time, is challenging my creativity. There are some amazing beads in this collection. I need to go bead trauling again, as my stock of special individual beads is running low. I bought a few glass fired beads recently which are locally made. They are beautiful but pricey and not everyone understands the quality or how special these hand made beads are.<br />

Matching sets are not always a given, as I have loads of beads and gemstones but seldom loads of the same. I was very pleased to be able to make a matching necklace and that it came out so well. The client was so pleased, which always makes my heart so happy.<br />

Well time for bed now. I've been here for ages as it has been so slow. We're looking after Liam again tomorrow morning and I also want to get some reading in before I fall asleep. I'm busy with the last book in the series A Song Of Fire & Ice - A Game of Thrones by R R Martin. I'm loving my Kindle. It's the most useful item I've purchased in years. I've now discovered that I can lean the Kindle on the screen of the cardio apparatus at the gym. So now I can do my hours workout and read my book. WONDERFUL.<br />

I was preparing to go away, went away, got back and its was hectic. Not being a very organised person of late, going away is quite an effort. As we have pets, a garden and with security always a concern, we get housesitters in when we're away. I was spoilt and had domestic assistance three times a week for years. But when I was forced to retire, Jane retired as well. I now do all the household chores, let me rephrase, I don't do them all when I should and droll ones not at all. Hence, when we go away, it's like having to spring clean. This time we went to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, so packing was also a job, as we were camping.</div>
<br />
The Kgalagadi was worth the work. It took has two days to get to the Nossob Camp. We arrived at about 15h00 on the second day. <br />

Rich got stretches and mattresses from the family for his 60th. Before anyone thinks this is a strange gift, don't. It was a request. Rich has had an op on his knees and getting up from a mattress on the floor is not as easy as it used to be. The stretches were absolute luxury.<br />

When I go away, no matter how many lists I make, I always leave something behind. I have a pair of pants that require a much thinner belt than the one I usually wear. I tried to wear the pants without the belt. All's well when I sitting down, but walk anywhere and the pants fall down. I resorted to keeping my pants up with nylon cord, that Rich secures things with. I wasn't allowed to cut the rope. Rich couldn't resist taking a pic of me crossing the camp in my classy pants. <br />
<br />
This was a very peaceful getaway. There was no 3G reception at all. Not getting regular reports from home really allowed us to just relax.<br />
<br />
Rich and I were last at this national park 36 years ago. Incredible isn't it. We came to what was then known as the Kalahari Gemsbok Park in 1976. We managed to get to the first camp, Tweerivieren in our Fleetline Kombi. They'd had floods in the park, the main road through the park is in the river bed. So, with our not having a four wheel drive vehicle, we had to turn around and go home. It was great to eventually get there and obviously the roads to the park had much improved. <br />

No rain at the park this time. We're told it was not as hot as it usually is and we had quite a bit of wind. Even a bit of a sand storm one day. We went to a nearby hide in the early morning and spent the rest of the day in camp trying to hide from the wind. We'd had sparkling wine to celebrate our getting to the Kalahari at last, hence the goofy smiles.<br />

Only when one gets home, do you realize how incredible these wild places are. The lions roared every night, so close they could have been in the camp with us. There were Black Backed Jackals in the camp every night and we had regular visits in the day from a African Wild Cat, as well as the pestiest Ground Squirrel. The electricity generators get switched off at 20h30 every night and the stars in the sky are incredible.<br />

One can feel this while one is being creative. One's mind switches off from all the stresses and stains of everyday life. I find even making the simplest of pieces relaxing and comforting.<br />
<br />
These bracelets below are made from clay beads, wood beads, hand made and painted African Trade beads, with rhodinite charms and spacers. They are simply strung on beading elastic and have an ethnic look and feel to them. They also weigh nothing. I can happily wear all of them, not at once, although I could. I've kept one or two for myself purely because they go with so much and are great for casual wear. They don't get in the way. I named the range Mali and they sell for R100 each. (Excluding packing and postage).<br />

Ione, a very dear and old friend of mine seldom wears costume jewellery. I always feel so bad as I make so many pieces but know that they really aren't her scene. I'd taken quite a lot of my jewellery with me on holiday. Mainly because I love wearing my jewellery but also as I wanted to show my sister Glynis what I'd been making. She's been a great supporter. Ione and her Mom dad a look at what I'd made but didn't comment much. </div>

Ione and Norbert slept over on their way back from Germany to Port Elizabeth. I decided she had to have something I'd made and as we'd spent some time with Ione's parents in Kenton one weekend, I decided that Ione's also had to have something. I'm under that Uthene is more adventurous than Ione, below are earrings for Ione and a necklace for Uthene. </div>

I seem to have bracelet mania at present. Although, I must admit they sell and I also love bracelets. I've always worn plenty. The button bracelet, named Giggles went immediately for R150. The buttons are larger than I've used before. I tried to use "beigy" buttons with writing on. Hence the giggle button and the one with a dragonfly. The blues bracelet came about because of the cone shaped blue bead. The other beads in the bracelet blend in and the discs are from a disadvantaged community upliftment project. "New trolls", is a twist on the usual use of troll or Pandora beads.</div>

When I'm scratching through my stash or tidying up, I pick out beads and other things. e.g. when we were away in November last year, Jocelynn picked up an old Saint Christopher charm. I added other pieces to the treasure jumble, a key, I'm partial to keys, (I bought a whole lot in Port Elizabeth one year) and a watch. I had to take in three necklaces with watches in recently to have new batteries put in. The storekeeper never said anything about the watch necklaces but I could just see she was dying to say something, either she was shy or just courteous.<br />

Here are some earrings, just to prove that I make more than necklaces and bracelets. Earrings don't sell well, even though I have now started making them with sterling silver ear hooks. Most are fun and some are serious.<br />
