I got a ring order this week for one of my lovely Pamuya rings – it’s the last one in this limited set unfortunately – and the customer wanted me to add an antique patina to it. The final result is amazing and I wish I’d added a patina to the other ones I’ve made in the past as it works really well with this design.

On the Saturday 3rd December – i.e. this coming Saturday – I’ll be holding a stall at the Aberdour Christmas Fayre organised by the Aberdour Primary School Parents Association. This is being held in the Aberdour Community Centre on Shore Road (where the Library is) and the doors open to the public at 10am and close at 2.30pm – so you’ve got 4½ hours to come and do some Christmas shopping.

Do you think it’s possible for me to get 2000 Facebook fans by the end of the year? Maybe I should aim for 2011? I’d love to achieve this task, but not sure how to go about it to be honest as I’ve had a steady rise in my fan-base all year but it’s kind of come to standstill – but maybe that’s because I’ve been offline for the past few months.

Remember the gift tags I made last Christmas? The ones made from recycled Christmas Cards? Well I’ve just got into making them again this year in readiness for Christmas Craft Fairs and Sales. I know it seems bizarre as it’s only September, but this year I want to be organised and make things slowly and gradually and regularly rather than having one big mad rush of making later on in the year. I’m also hoping that I’ll be getting some wholesale orders soon, so there’s that to think about and plan for as well.

It’s called a wad punch and it’s amazing. I’ve been making my little button flower brooches for years now and I’ve always cut my leather circles by hand which is OK when I’m making the odd brooch here and there, but when I have to make loads for an order or for a craft fair it’s very time consuming as well as not perfectly accurate. Here’s where a wad punch comes in.

So what are you doing this Friday? Fancy popping over the St Andrews for a Treat?
Fife Contemporary Art and Craft are going to be running a Pop Up Shop called Treat that will showcase more than 30 makers in jewellery, textiles, wood, ceramics, glass, lighting, prints and much more – included in this mix is a lovely selection of Milomade goodies. So why not pop up and Treat yourself to some contemporary art and craft?

Some of you may know that not only do I run Milomade, but I’m also a freelance web designer and run Eskymo New Media Design. I did a favour for a friend recently, taking lots of lovely photographs of her work for a new website I hope to design and build for her quite soon. In return she did a short print run of business cards for me and I was expecting to pick this up from here the next time I went over to Edinburgh, but…

Yay – just got a lovely surprise in the post today – the latest copy of Pulse, hot off the press. It’s a free monthly magazine that comes with the Scotsman Newspaper and this month there is a feature on Scottish Jewellers and I’m one of the lucky ones to be selected.
