Today my delivery from BWBeads arrived. I ordered a selection of their new budget faceted glass beads as well as their fourth and final colour in the czech fire-polished faceted rondelles. The aqua blue rondelles were every bit as sparklingly beautiful as I knew they'd be, and the budget rounds were surprisingly pretty too. I left them sitting out, glittering in the vague spring sunshine, such a pleasure to the senses.
A sterling silver bail and a cheap second set of side cutters completed my order. But a second "gift" in the form of my BBC Dig In pack also arrived, filled with packets of vegetable seeds and a sheet of stickers claimed as a treat by my youngest niece.
Asides from finally filing away my new arrivals, all I made today was a single pentacle in the new peridot faceted rounds and SP wire. It's quite charming and I'm sure its new owner will be happy with her Spring Star. I don't feel at all as lazy as I probably should, as last night I was awake till 3am wire-wrapping a piece in fine copper and those delicious teal czech rondelles that so delight me, along with three beaded pentacles, including a tiny precious malachite one.
My Challenge Ankh is no farther along than it was a week ago though - my sole spot of guilt. I'll return to it tomorrow.

First Post
Yay! My first blogspot entry! Dreamweaver Designs is really starting to consume my life so I figured it deserved it's own blog. Now I just need to cross-post this everywhere else!
I ordered new business cards last night! They look very smart on the screen so just to wait for them to arrive. Hope they get here before April 17th - it would be brilliant to have them in time for the Pagan Federation Scottish Conference.
Today I'm working on a display piece - a circlet in silver-plate, reclaimed aluminium, and lots and LOTS of blue glass. I think it'll be stunning when it's finished. Also sourcing new czech fire-polished crystal beads (coz I'm addicted to the sparkly) which will make absolutely beautiful beaded pentacles. I know coz I'm wearing one! ;D
That's all for now!
