Phew! I've worked 14 hours today and made:

7 pendants
10 bangles
14 pairs of earrings
2 pairs of cufflinks

I'm knackered now. Tomorrow I make finishing touches to the display and pack everything ready for my big adventures at NEC and Country Living. There must be an easier way to make a living!

Wow - that's a lot of work.

I hope the fair goes well after all the preparation you've done.

Well done Carole - it's amazing how much you can get through when the adrenaline (panic?) for an event kicks in ;D

Wow go Carole! Maybe there is an easier way to make a living, but I am sure it wouldn't be as fun ;)

WOW! I managed 3 fancy bezel rings yesterday and that's without having set the stones as I'm sending them to be hallmarked. Although I don't think I did 14 hours, more like 6 grabbed ones.

Oh I forgot another 10 pairs of earrings as well. It's surprising what you can do if you treat it as a production line. A lot of them were things like enamelled flower things where the flowers are already stamped out and just need finishing. Having the right equipment is half the battle. I was up working at 7.00 today and hopefully finish by lunchtime so I can do packing etc.
