Evening. Just back from a mammoth shopping trip to Bluewater. Worn out but at least I’ve made substantial inroads into the gift list. Another day without making, so a relist from me again, I’m afraid. Have plenty of things to get on with, but no time! I just heard from Neighbourhood Watch that a reindeer was stolen from a neighbour’s garden yesterday! I blame the elves…

Good afternoon Sparklers, yay super duper happy jingle jigs for sales peeps.
Well the results of the Chiroprator were encouraging, I have some imbalance caused primarily by neck strain it seems, nothing that some proper exercise to strengthen my muscles and losing weight won’t help to fix hurrah!. They did offer a treatment plan to help with this, rebalancing, nutrition supplements and exercise at an exceedingly reasonable £1700 with 3 treatments a week for up to 6 months!!! 
. Luckily when I got back to work a colleague who suffers from sciatica told me that as I work for the NHS I get 4 treatments with physiotherapist through Occupational Health, so tomorrow I shall ring them and arrange that. Hopefully they can guide me in the right direction for exercises and it’s back on the diet, I only have around a stone and a half to lose so nothing too drastic, just sensible eating from now on and no more calories don’t count Fridays

Hi everyone. I have finally caught up with your news. Like most of you, my sales this year have been really low. In fact November (which is normally great) was the worst month I have had on Folksy since March 2015 and the worst November ever for me on Folksy since I joined seven years ago (ish) This month is slow, but I have had another sale, taking me to two this month Max @paperchainsandbeads . I hope the sales fairy hasn’t contracted this awful Avian Flu - eeek!
I have a new listing - I was saving it for tomorrow, but what the heck, here it is
I have been working on this - I hope my friend doesn’t mind me showing you. Her Mum passed away last year from Cancer. She was quite young and in a hospice. After the funeral, when the family were sorting out her personal belongings, they came across her jewellery box. All the gold has been taken and the shanks of all the rings had been cut off - no doubt cash for gold or similar - and the carer had left the heads of the rings behind. So awful. So, as it was one of the only things she had from her Mum, I have re-created her engagement ring in gold, using the vintage original diamond daisy cluster. She will see it in the flesh for the first time on Saturday.
Sorry, the pic is rather fuzzy. The daisy is set into the shank, not soldered on top - if you know what I mean??

Morning all - zero sales to add to the tally Maxine making a total of zero!! Unfortunately things are pretty quiet on the other side too although I have to admit to not putting any work into my shop over there in terms of promotion so can’t really complain on that score.
Lovely goodies as always but particularly love your snowman Annie @HeavenlyAnarchist and the ring Jacqueline @JacquelineOJewellery.
What a lovely thing to be able to do Jacqueline @JAustenJewelleryDesign
Looks like you’re set for a good year next year Dawn @hobbitgirlie1880 with a home and job that you love. Glad its working out for you.
Must go and walk the dogs now.

Morning Sparklers, what an awful thing to happen Jacqueline @JAustenJewelleryDesign I bet she is so thrilled the the “mend” (not a mend but can not think of a better word)
Sad to say when you have so many carers coming in your home it’s hard to keep an eye on things. My grandma wore her mums brooch whitch was gold and was inlaid with rubies and pearls. She always took care of her jewellery and put them away in their boxes in her dressing table. When she died we never found it.
