Productive Sunday

I am working like a mad man these days, producing lots of new jewelry to sell at a large crafts fair coming up in Oslo 4th and 5th of December. We almost sold out on everything we had last year at that market, so this year we're coming prepared. Or Sigrid is anyway. I'll be at work, unfortunately, so she'll have to push the jewelry to the masses ;-) Meanwhile supplies, pliars and glue is everywhere in my office. Last week the letter "K" stopped working on my keyboard, since a tiny metal piece I had chopped off from a chain got stuck under it. Anyways, I am enjoying being creative... as well as looking at the pile of new earrings, bracelets and necklaces growing by the hour!

Me and D also managed to watch the entire series of "An idiot abroad" this weekend, which was quite funny. If you have'nt seen it, and you'd like to see a travel program with a weird twist -go check it out!

Busy bee..

I am currently changing the look on the product pictures in the shop, doing almost everything all over again. I want the background to be slightly darker than before, more rustique, matching the shop banner. The tiny shabby cupboard I bought at a flea market a couple of weeks ago is doing the job just fine!

Post hollidays..

I've been creative during the Easter hollidays, and here are some of the results... Incredible what a few days off, and more daylight can do with ones creativity.

Got me a rack!

Yesterday I went for a long walk and got me a jewelry rack! It sure makes taking photos of earrings a lot easier. And speaking of earrings, this lot will soon be avaliable at Everyday Glory.

It all of a sudden hit me that I've been ordering a lot of jewelry supplies lately, which will soon arrive.. and I still have a LOT of supplies here in boxes and drawers that I need to make use of. So please; if you see anything you like in the shop, and would like it just a tad different, don't hesitate to let us know! Chances are that we can make it just the way you want it.

More jewelry on it's way

This weekend I managed to take 100's of pictures of new jewelry for our store, and some of them turned out quite good..

A few curiosities

The day was spent organizing and clearing out lots of nick nacks from some moving boxes, from our last move in November.. My parents has kindly given me these beautiful old wooden boxes, from a local dairy. We plan to use these as book shelves, so today I washed off decades of dust and dirt.

We have yet to put pictures up on our walls, mostly because we lack frames, and therefore this has been put off for a long time. I guess I'll have to go on a raid to IKEA soon. This fantastic vintage lamp is one of the things I would like to hang on the wall in our hall, but Dylan remains to be convinced. I guess asking for someones forgiveness is a lot easier than asking for their approval.. hehe.

I also made myself this lovely necklace from a vintage rose pendant. The yellow is just perfect!

New job, New home, New York

We (ny bf and I) got back from our trip to New York on Saturday. Great city with lots of good food and drinks!!


Today we have been packing down even more stuff in our appartement, since we're moving to our new and relievingly large flat on Saturday. I'm amazed how much stuff there is to pack. Seems like packing is all we've done for the last three months.

Tomorrow I start my new job. I haven't really had the time to think too much about that, since so many things are happening at the same time. I think Christmas this year will be nice, when things are a little more settled in.

Sigrid is travelleling a lot these days, through her work, so it feels like ages since we sat down with a glass of wine (or let's be honest; a glass of Port and some homebaked cookies! -Like a pair of old women!) and created things for our store. I miss that.

Let's hope Chistmas comes quickly! Have a nice week!

Beads and more

I made these pretties a couple of weeks ago, and after snapping picures of them all separately, I took a family photo of them all. Look good together, don't they?? For sale at Everyday Glory.
Ah.. the colours and the shapes... sigh!

A springy look

I took some more photos this morning, having the day off. This necklace is currently one of my favorites. I love the big polkadotted bead, and the rich, brown color on the bead caps compliments the brown dotts on the bead in a perfect way..

Business card

Task of the day: make more business cards..

Oh.. and my boyfriend picked out the colors on the paper (...!). He actually uttered the words "hm, I think this color will look good with the gold color on the stamp.." (...!!) But he should know. He's a colorist. They look great though?

New earrings

Bead caps and vintage treasures met on this Sunday in February... sparks flew..

Workshop

Today has been a very efficient day! We are preparing for a fair down at the southern parts of Noway with this crafty lady: http://gripdag1.blogspot.com/, and we are also going to sell in a very funky store in another town in Norway soon. We are really excited about this, and we just have to get our act together and produce so that we have plenty of jewelry to sell.
