Disaster!!!

Oh this has been such a bad weekend....firstly with my day all planned out on Friday the first thing on my list was to buy ink for the printer and petrol for the car which was nearly on red!!! I set off only to get half way there as I was hit by an articulated lorry.... went right into the side of me spun me round into the line of the oncoming traffic...reeeeallly scary, I am ok just a bit shaken up, but the car is not so good....can it get any worse...oh yes it can...

After I had tried to calm down a bit I tried to get onto my website...only to be faced with my site not being there...it was eventually sorted out...problems with the host company, so apologies if any of you wondered where I had gone.

As you can imagine I was pretty frazzled by this time...but had to laugh in between the crying as I called to tell my mum and dad about the accident she checked I was all ok told me to have a nice bath and asked quite innocently what type of truck it was that hit me...my response was I don't know but it was big....mum's response was 'no what was written on the side of it', trying to hold it together I replied Anchor Butter, thinking what does that matter, 'I am never buying that again' was her response.

I couldn't not laugh!!!

bye for now

Quick Update

Hi everyone I can't believe how long it has been since I have found the time to get on here and let you know what I have been up to....time just seems to run away from me these days...anyway I have been working on loads of commissions in the past month...it has been great and have had some wonderful feedback from the items I have already sent out...

I have also been working on some lampwork bracelets among other things here are two of my latest...'Going Underground and 'Willow'.......I adore these beads, they are from a wonderfully talented British Artist......Gorgeous!!!!!!!




I have added loads more items to the website recently, hope you have time to pop over there for a look http://www.evy-designs.com/

It has always been my intention since I taking a few lampwork classes to set up a studio and make my own beads.....well I finally took the plunge.....Last week I went to Harrogate Bead Fair and decided to purchase the kit from Tuffnell Glass, I haven't set it up yet but hope to get this done shortly and find some time to actually make some beads....I can't wait to get started on it.
