Time to update bookmarks!

I've switched over to using Wordpress for my blog, and now have a slightly different blog address. So please update your bookmarks to: http://www.ulvdesign.com/blog.php/

I noticed that I still get visitors on the old address, and of course I should have thought about putting this post up a long time ago. Sorry! But now you've got the correct address.. :)

Weekend!

I just finished a bracelet I'm sending off to Sweden, just need to take some pictures of it first... And speaking of pictures, I'm adding more and more photos of sold items to the Gallery part of the website - it's nice for me to have everything in one place, and it can be handy for customers as it shows a wide range of jewellery :)

Other things happening this weekend:

- The Wordpress saga continues. I'm looking into how to switch over...
- Sister-in-law's birthday. We went there today, which was nice.
- Working on a different bracelet - now half finished.
- Home work! Very important!
- Filing away some paper work. I used to put things off all the time but lately I've gotten really good at getting things done on time... :)

Blue skies

If you take a look at my Flickr account, you'll find a set of photos of the sky taken at the end of this summer. The intention was to keep taking pictures every day - but then we went to Sweden to visit my family, and it just didn't happen. And when we came home, I didn't pick it up again.

A mosaic of all the pictures in the above mentioned Flickr set...

I still go back and look at those photos sometimes, because whenever I feel that the weather is grey grey grey, I'm reminded that almost half the time we DO have beautiful weather. My mood is easily affected by the weather, so this kind of reminder works for me!

The weather yesterday afternoon.

If you feel that everything is dull and grey, take a look at the sky. Keep doing that for a week or so - if you're anything like me, you won't get annoyed by the clouds, but actually look at them and enjoy.

Headpins!

I got an order delivered home yesterday, lots and lots of silver wire. Mostly sterling silver, but also some fine silver to make head pins from. I had never tried fine silver before, always making my head pins from sterling. Not that easy.


So after a whole day at school yesterday, I just had to try out the fine silver... And wow!! It works SO much better!

Blogger or Wordpress?

I'm so much in the mood for switching over to Wordpress when it comes to blogging. Nothing bad about Blogger, which is what I'm using now, but I feel more at home with Wordpress...

Today I've been working (new job, I think I mentioned it :) ) and cooking. Now it's time for some homework, I'm studying for a theory exam on Wednesday... Can't do a lot when it comes to making jewellery at the moment - the 'outside' of my right hand goes numb after just a couple of minutes. Which actually means I should stop typing, because it happens when I type as well ;)

Weekend again!

I notice it's almost a week since the last time I wrote something... The week hasn't been too busy, but I've been sick on and off since last weekend. Still not feeling that great today, so I'm hoping that it'll be over soon!

I've got earrings to make, homework to make, and I need to study for an exam on Wednesday... Tonight we were supposed to go to a tapas restaurant with friends, but I think I'll have to pass. Next time!

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend!

Jewellery fair

Today we went to a jewellery fair in Amsterdam together with some friends. It was something I had to do for school, and I felt it was quite a nice little field trip... I had heard from some people at school that they weren't really up for it, so hopefully they also liked it when they actually got there.

It was nice to see other people's booths, and all the different techniques that people use in their jewellery.

I wish I would have been able to give some sort of impression of what it looked like (it was housed in a really cool looking old building), but unfortunately we were not allowed to take any photos in there.
