Hello, So sorry, I have...

Hello,


So sorry, I have been slack with posting. You see, not much has happened since my last posting. Oh, I lie, I have been sick! Heheee, not all that exciting. 
Lovely autumn day here today, it's sunny with a lovely warm breeze, days like these make me realize how lucky I am to be in Sydney. Winter is fantastic here, doesn't go below 14-15 degrees - which is really good for a winter day : )

I'll be firing the kiln today and cutting more glass to make more jewellery. Will post Pics as soon as they are done.

The next few weeks will be nice and busy. Between Easter, my birthday and our trip to Melbourne I'm sure I'll have some story to tell you all!

I hope you all have a lovely Easter!  Chocolate bunnies....... yummy!

Until next time my sweets.

Take care,
Hugs xxxx

PS. I bought a new face lotion and it is fabulous. Feels so nice on the skin, it absorbs into your skin leaving no oily residue and is natural. The whole range is beautiful. It's called Trilogy and is made by our neighbours, New Zealand.
I'll add a link.  ;-)

The past week..

Hi again,


The past week has been a busy one for me. As I had mentioned previously, I went back to work and had to put my son in daycare!!! 
It was one of the hardest things I had to do (besides giving birth of course!!) but I realized how much he really needed the interaction with other kiddies. Not forgetting me, I too needed to be around other adults! Anyway, all went very well, my first day at work was great and it went by really quickly. Before I knew it I was picking up my special little boy and cuddling/kissing him......lots!

I also finally opened my etsy shop (lapommerouge.etsy.com). Please check it out, there are some lovely earrings with more to come. Speaking of etsy, I was so please to see that there are so many beautiful things to buy. I will definitely be buying most of my gifts from etsy and will put some of my favourite etsy stores on my links for you to check out.

Any, must go. 

I hope you all have a great week.

Hugs & winks,
xxx

My thoughts for today!

Good Morning to you all,


I hope you all had a lovely weekend. My family and I had a very lovely chilled out one. We went to bondi beach and then to a park for my son to run around in. My darling little boy ate lots of sand and my husband was his giant salt lick after his swim. So funny to watch, it was like back in the days when I was young and would feed my dog peanut butter...... he would be licking his lips for hrs later!!!! The things we did when we were kids!

I also make some more lovely earrings for my etsy shop - lapommerouge.etsy.com.
Oh boy, I'm super nervous as I have been on maternity leave for 14 months and go back to work tomorrow for three days a week.....Ahhhhhhhh,  scary!!!!!
I'll miss being at home with my son, I'm sure I'll probably shed some tears tomorrow when I drop him off at daycare!!!!! Anyway, I'll just make the most out of today and will let you know how I go. 

This was just a quick post to share my thoughts.

Take care,
xxxx

PS. I might make the shortbread cookies recipe below....... looks easy & yummy!

Strawberry Shortbread Cookies





Ingredients

1 cup softened butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
Strawberry Spread

Directions

Sift flour and set aside. Cream butter, vanilla and sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour to butter mixture a bit at a time and then begin to knead with hands. Turn dough onto floured surface and roll out to desired thickness.

Cut into circles and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325° for about 15 minutes or until cookies are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Flip half of the cookies upside down and spread evenly with strawberry spread. Cover with another cookie and dust lightly with icing sugar.

Hello!

Hello and welcome to my first posting on a blog.


Please excuse my ignorance as I have no idea what to write! 
Well.....here goes nothing....or something!

I am a mum, a wife, a make-up artist and glass artist originally from Melbourne, but now based in Sydney, Australia.

I have been doing lamp-work beads and fusing glass for about 3 years now. 
This is something I taught myself by just reading all I could about the topic, and experimenting of course. I love it! 
I love beautiful rich colours and simple design, this is what inspires my designs. Some may call my work little pieces of wearable art. I agree with them!. 
Ok, soon I will be opening my new Etsy shop with all my yummy handmade jewellery available for you to purchase. Please come by and visit me at - lepommerouge.etsy.com - opening in two weeks.....

I love the eras from the 30's to 60's, especially the clothing and beautiful hairstyles, not forgetting the make-up!. Favourites movies are Amelie, Edward Scissor Hands and Swingers. There are many more I can add to the list, but it would go on forever as you can appreciate.
Music I'm listening to at the moment - Cut Copy (can't get enough of them) Gorillaz, Air, Blur, Nick Cave and the bad seeds and Faithless. A bit of a mix, but that's me. 
Favourite artist is Mark Ryden - love his work, sweet with a twist of evil!! Sounds a little like me...heheeh

Anyway, thank you for spending some time reading my first blog post. I hope I didn't bore you too much!
Please feel free to comment or just write to me for a chat. Would love to hear from you.

Hugs xxxx
