Buttoned Up Day Off

Evening Ladies.
i had today off and to start with i felt pretty poorly, i seem to have picked up a cold from somewhere, and so i didn't get too much sleep last night because my throat had turned into a cactus!! but i feel a bit better now (i think the dime bar cake helped...yummy!!) Like I've mentioned before i feel like i can't just waste days off now that the opening date for the shop is looming closer and closer, so i made 9 pairs of ear rings and finished 5 brooches...
Some Glass and Plastic Button Droplets, i think these are quite romantic looking...
Some Funky Plastic and Metal Droplets, they make me want go disco dancing...
Some Solid Plastic Droplets, i think these would go great with a plain t-shirt...
and some Cute Plastic Droplets, the white buttons on the left hand side earrings are pretty old...
I thought that i got a bit caught up with the Button Bouquet Brooches i made for the craft fair so I'm trying to make sure there is a mix match of styles for the shop. I'm worried that these Flowe Brocches are a bit too plain and simple but similar ones I've made before have been popular so maybe its just me!
The red and black one is my favorite.
El and I also opened a joint bank account today too....eeekkkk!! serious stuff hey? we thought it best to go for a simple joint account for the first few months...at least until we have sorted out our business plan we're only going to use it to pay for things like rent and insurance. (apparently you need one to apply for a business account even if you don't want to borrow any money from them!?)
Right...I'm about done in, going to go and have a shower and probably fall asleep on the sofa!
take care
x

    I can't believe you have achieved so much even though you aren't feeling well. The earrings are gorgeous, I especially like the plastic and metal ones. You must be getting so excited about the shop!!
    Feel better soon xx

    I do hope that you feel better soon! Love the button jewellery, I used to make and sell jewellery some years ago. Have been thinking of starting again but so many things to do first!

    Bex, your are doing so well! No wonder you've picked up a cold with all the hard work you've put in.
    Take care and eat chocolate.
