Lampwork beads red set

and why not some in red?

As you can see,..I’m finally getting some beads made at long last. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for years and have had all the glass, the torch and the rest of the equipment for years, but for one reason or another,.. I could never seem to find the time to get my lampwork beadmaking off the ground. I wear so many hats (like most mums do),..one each for mother, wife, housekeeper, cleaner, chauffeur, accountant, grocery shopper, cook, maintenance guy,..eh hemm girl,..councellor, tutor, jewelry maker, webmaster, and I’m sure I have missed a whole bunch more,… I just have so many fingers in so many pies,.. adding lampwork beadmaking to an already rediculously busy life was like bringing in another pie for my 11th finger…oh wait……. erm you know what I mean…I just couldn’t stretch myself that far, even though I really wanted to. So,.. I’ve thrown away the hats for housekeeper, cook, cleaner, maintenance girl (erm..edit: not true,.. I just spent 4hrs installing the timber slat blinds in my studio grrrr.. I need a handyman in my life) and shop for groceries online again. The house is lookin’ shabby, and my family are starving but hey… I’m making beads right?!…and maybe in a week or twelve….erm ok a week or two… up they go on ebay. Now,…I just need to find someone to drive my kids all over town every afternoon and evening to their sporting commitments,…and I’d have more hours every day to play at the torch.
