Keeping Promises....

With all the work coming in lately, I'm still very aware that I have not kept a promise made to my daughter many weeks ago. She loves a necklace I made for myself and asked if I would make her one similar...well, it got put to the back of everything else, and she never complains, bless her. So today, I actually had an hour spare before lunch and decided to honour my word and the above is the result. It's actually turned out really well - far prettier than the photo shows. It's made up of pink glass daisies on gold-plated wire, interspersed with small greenish glass AB coated faceted beads. Very sweet and feminine - I think I'll make another one for the Etsy shop. In honour of my daughter, this one is called Anastasia.

Also thought it about time I completed a commission for a pair of earrings that has been outstanding for a while - these will go with a bracelet & necklace set I made for a colleague.

So the time management is not as difficult as I imagined...so far! Getting the craft orders done in the evenings and the potatoes in the afternoons while the light is still good. However, just received the Japanese yarn (the carbon footprint for it must be obscene as it has travelled from Japan to New York to Cambridge to Fleet!)....I now have stinging nettle yarn, pineapple fibre yarn, paper yarn and some rather lovely knitted tubing. So many crafts, so little time......
