Hello Monday!

Hi everyone!

Wow, life has been such a roller coaster these past few months and my blogging (and bead making time) has really suffered. I'm trying very hard to get back into the swing of things now. This morning the tables arrived for my studio (which are so heavy I cannot possibly get them upstairs by myself - EEEK!) so I'm hoping against hope that I can talk Naomi and her hubby into helping me set up the studio.. which I haven't asked her about and am now announcing on my blog. NO PRESSURE, GNOMIE BABY! Heehee ;)

Since I don't have everything up and running just yet, I'll be listing beads solely on Etsy for the next couple of weeks. Hopefully I'll have everything back to normal by mid-July-ish. Who knew it would take this long?! So! I have plenty of new beads including the Touch of Gold Tree Focal pictured above. I'm so in love with this bead. I am totally NOT a gold girl (won't wear the stuff) but there's something about the way it looks in a bead that really catches my eye.

I also have a few of my mega floral cupcakes in my by keiara Etsy shop as well as a cute little pair of cupcakes, too!

And, of course, I've added a bunch of my kooky kritters! This is my Pretty in Pink Kooky Bears set and I love their little faces! There is also a matching focal and a matching earring pair! The kritters are all SO much fun to make :) I have kittens, owls, hamsters.. even zombie bears!

I'm off to photograph the beads I made in Naomi's studio last week. I hope you all have a wonderful week and spread some smiles and love to those around you!

Love,
keiara

ask and ye shall receive.. PIGTURES!

Hi guys!! As promised here are some guinea piggie 'pigtures' :) First up is Cupcake. She is quite shy and sticks her head out repeatedly before she feels confident enough that the weird woman with the purple hair isn't going to have her in a sandwich :P It takes her several minutes to get up the courage to come out of her little hidey home :)

But it's worth the wait! Isn't she lovely? She's such a dainy little girl and such a sweetiepie. Her sister, Muffin, could not be convinced to make an appearance today :( You can just about see her bum through the entrance to the tunnel in the upper left of this pigture. (You know I'm ALWAYS gonna use that term from now on, right?! Pigture.. *cracks up*) Cupcake LOVES broccoli and was happily munching away. She stopped to make sure my camera was not a threat and then continued chowing down ;)

And here are my sweet, sweet boys! They're happy to eat out of my hand (which is the odd looking thing in the upper left.. sorry, bad angle!) and here they are munching some parsley. Excuse the action shot.. that's how much they love the parsley!


Here they are minding their table manners a bit more. Ginger Nut (left) and Chips are warming up to me quite well so far. They don't seem overly scared when I put my hand in the cage and they'll even sniff at my fingers (if there's food involved of course!). The boys are really adorable and don't seem to fight at all! They sleep together in their little hidey house and don't seem to argue over food either.

The girls on the other hand!! The girls seem to be having some 'top pig' issues. Muffin (the shy one) won't come out of her tunnel when I'm around (although she DID take a bit of carrot from me yesterday.. but she cheated and only poked her head out of her tunnel) but she also won't let Cupcake IN the tunnel! Whenever Cupcake tries to enter the tunnel, much squeaky protests sound and Cupcake comes running back out. They sleep separately and I have not seen them share food at all. Muffin just tries to nab Cupcake's food if Cupcake happens to wander too close to the tunnel with a bit of veg. It's bizarre! I'm hoping the girls settle in and Muffin starts coming out of the tunnel more. I've read up and it says to give them about a week to settle in before really starting to handle them so that's what I'm doing. Let's hope a week is enough time for Muffin to quit being such a moody pig.. LOL ;)

A parting shot of Ginger Nut. He is SO adorable! I just love his little face and his pretty colouring. I can't wait til these little piggies start bonding with me more!

Lots of piggie hugs and love to all of you! Have a great week ;)

Love,
keiara (& the piggies)
