Woo it arrived!

This bowl was the result of a day's workshop in glass blowing in Stourbridge. I also made a clear glass bauble. Not bad for my first attempt :)

Organisation Stations!

The To Do list is quite spectacular this week! I've been organising accounts, sorting insurance and making in between. This is all for the fabulous events in upcoming weeks - stocking an art gallery and of course the opening of the shop not to forget my commission work alongside! Exciting times at Elisa Loves HQ, watch this space! ;p

International Festival of Glass

Have a fabulous Bank Holiday Weekend! I'm off to experience some wonderful glassy goodness at the International Festival of Glass 2012 http://www.ifg.org.uk/ See some of you there! E :)

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!!!!

Well it's all a total whirlwind of fun. I have some gorgeous commission work in both fascinators and glass and so many little things are just coming together. Last week my circle cutter broke and for me this was devastation - I'm addicted to circles I don't want to make anything else in glass, unless asked of course ;) I have a new perfectly working one now PHEW! I am loving decals, particularly bird ones - I want to design my own, that is another thing to add to the list.

American glass artists are so lucky, I keep buying one off bits of totally fab glass I can't get here. They are just stunning. I've copied a couple of pictures below.

The big news of the week is we got a shop opening date, wooooo! 15th September! I will post more nearer the time to remind you. So full steam ahead on all my new secret squirrel fascinators and tiaras that I've been hiding! I told you it was a fab week and I collect my new business cards tomorrow and get to finally set up my new torch.....I might actually burst!!!! Have a fabulous weekend and always any questions feel free to ask! E x

Umbrella Festivities

I will be attending the Umbrella Festivities this coming Sunday. Looks to be a great day out. For more information see http://www.groundlings.co.uk See you there!

Latest Commission Work

So yes a few weeks on I'm still hitting the gym each week and haven't got bored yet. I have to say I'm not really feeling much fitter just more achey and tired but guess that is to be expected. I have been pushing myself. Below I have updated you on some of my latest commission work....

Any questions please don't hesitate to ask or pop over and say hi on facebook. Have a great week, E x

Distracted by exercise!

Ok I'll admit it. This week I have been totally distracted with my new membership to the gym. I've started my commissions and 3 new tiara bands but well nothing has got finished. I have never set foot in a gym in my 30years until this week and well I think I'm in the honeymoon zone. Let me give you the background - it was suggested I sign up because I attend 2 fitness classes a week and it works out cheaper to be a member. This then includes free swimming pool access and a gym program. I figured be rude not to try these out - yes everything in one week. Eek indeed, my abs are killing me. Now I can see the addiction but not for those who plod reading a paper on the tredmill - really what is the point? But if you have a little program to follow to achieve what you want then it's like a tailor made quick fix to making it happen. As you can imagine I'm time poor as most modern folk are and this extra hour can squeeze in without to much fuss. In the words on a 12 year old "AWESOME!" Have a fab weekend, E x
