Sometimes life can be frustrating can't it?  This week has certainly had its ups and downs.  I've gone from extremely annoyed to having some very positive results in a very short space of time.

Technology is all important in an online business and when it doesn't work - boy is that a major trial!  I updated my computer virus and for some reason it decided that I wouldn't be allowed to upload photographs from my computer.  3 hours later of resetting everything and starting again, I finally managed to get a photograph uploaded - argh!  On top of that, I have a TV in my office on the wall as I often work in the evenings; updating my website, sorting my photographs, replying to emails etc.  This week I have had a very weak signal, so I decided to retune the TV whilst I was taking a break from the irritation of my computer.  It didn't work and I ended up with no signal whatsoever.  Then when I tried to take it off the wall (as I somehow removed the power socket) in attempting not to drop it, got my hand caught and now have a bruise covering the half of my hand.  By this time, I lost it!  Threw my calculator across the room and now that's in the bin because I managed to smash the screen.

There must be a moral in that story somewhere and the only thing I can think of, is that just tackle one annoyance at a time.  But on a very positive note - thank goodness I have my jewellery to enjoy, I have made some lovely pieces of anodised aluminium jewellery this week and a gorgeous gemstone necklace.

This velvety violet colour is stunning!  I attended my networking evening on Tuesday and put some of these earrings in my bag for my fellow members to have a look at.  There was only one other woman at the meeting this week and she fell in love with these and bought them then and there.

I also don't want to neglect my silver jewellery, so created this gemstone necklace from 1cm diameter Amazonite and Rose Quartz. 

I hope you like it - I think it looks very attractive.

I hope you have a good Easter and enjoy your coming week.
