see, I CAN do it!
Hi everyone!Friday I taught an advanced course focusing on raised floral focals and these are some of the beads I demonstrated for the student. Sometimes even *I* forget that I am, in fact, capable of making "grown-up" beads.. lol :) In truth, I do prefer to make my whimsical, silly beads but I love raised florals all the same. It was a lovely day and my student seemed to really enjoy herself so that was good.
What are you up to this week? I have plenty of beads to make since I'm a little behind due to how ill I've been :( I'm still not 100% but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.. which, in this case, means make beads so my customers don't kill me.. lol :) Wednesday I'm meeting up with a dear friend for lunch so I'm realllllly looking forward to that. I've invited her back to my place for cupcakes afterwards so now I have to decide what to make.. again! Kaia also leaves on Sunday (*sob*) so I want to bake up a bunch of wonderfulness before she goes. I already imported the things I need to make Pumpkin Muffins (OMG, to die for!) as well as plenty of stuff to make all kinds of different cupcakes, brownies and other desserts (Banana Pudding.. YUM!). I ordered some French's French Fried Onions, too, because Kaia wants some Green Bean (haha, it was 'bead' the first time I typed it) Casserole. I wish I could get all this stuff at a normal grocery store here because OMG is it ever expensive to import! I usually bring some stuff back in one of my suitcases whenever I visit home but I didn't this past visit (what was I thinking?!) Anyway, so there will be pictures of more goodies soon!
I'm off to melt some glass. I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!

help save a life!
Hi everyone.
I have something a bit different to discuss today. A member of our creative community, Tanya of Aardvark Silver, is facing a life and death situation. Tanya desperately needs our help to raise money for surgery to save her life. You can read about Tanya's situation at her Pledgie page. If you can, please give. Join me in helping to save someone whose light and love touch all who know her.
I will be holding an auction until 9pm GMT on Sunday night, January 24. How the auction will work:
2. Choose the item(s) you'd like to bid on
3. Email me at keiara@bykeiara.co.uk with your highest bid for the item(s) - include their reference code
4. You can keep an eye on how the auction is going right on my front page. I will update the page each time a higher bid is received.
Some of the items to be auctioned:
ALL proceeds from these auctions will go directly to Tanya to help pay for her surgery.
ALL proceeds from these auctions will go directly to Tanya to help pay for her surgery.Please have a heart for Tanya. Together we can make a real difference. Together we can save a life.
Thank you for your support.
Love,
keiara

sweeties!
I've made a few new 'sweet treat' focal beads! I looooove making them as they just make me smile so much :) I think I may have to make more this afternoon. Any requests? I'm digging the ice cream cones and may also do a few chocolate covered strawberries too. YUM!
Here is my latest fishie, Victoria Valentine. She's decorated with the 'Passion' frit blend from Beady Sam which I'm simply obsessed with! Victoria is my official Valentine's Day mascot this year. I don't know why I need a mascot but, hey, it makes me happy :) Plus she gets me giggling every time I look at her.
Watch this space for more fishies and sweet treats coming up! Hope you're having a great day :)
Love,
keiara
