Beady Pool now has a facebook page .

I am planning on uploading new photographs onto the Beady Pool page regularly as well as doing a few beady giveaways.

Here is the first, a gorgeous pendant featuring a teal green lampwork bead, turquoise stone rondelles and a sterling silver bicone. The pendant comes supplied with either a 16 or 18inch Sterling Silver snake chain.

If you fancy winning this gorgeous pendant all you have to do is go to the Beady Pool facebook page and become a fan - when Beady Pool has 50 fans then I will put those 50 names into a hat and pick a winner - simple as that. If it goes well I may do another at 100........

Takes after his mum

I went to pick my son up from preschool this morning. As he is one of the younger children he is in a little antiroom rather than the main hall for collection. Usually we go to the doors, one of the teachers calls out his name and out running like a mad thing comes my son all excited and uaually needing a wee LOL.

Today however the teacher wasn't on the door, as she was talking to another mum, so in I went and my son was sat on the mat with the other teacher. I crouched down, held my arms out and said hello to my little man.....but he didn't move. I went over to him and did it again but yet again he didn't move. He just sat there fiddling with his joggers telling me about his birthday card, but not getting up. I looked at the teacher who was in the room and she looked at me. I then asked my son why he wasn't getting up. Full of logic he said "lady hasn't called my name out". So dutifully off I went to find the other teacher to call his name out so we could go home.

Should I worry that my son is turning out to be a little bit like me, having to have thing right and organised? Actually I think he may be more like his dad who always follows the rules. Then again maybe he is a mix of both.

On a jewellery note, I made four, yes four pairs of earrings today and two necklaces for the Beady Pool Treasure Chest. I will try to get them photographed and online later this week.

Spotty replay.

Look who came in the post today...... Spotty the sock bunny is destined to become a baby dummy bunny. We are planning to use him to finally rid our son of his dummies. He only has them at nap and night time, but he is three next week so mummy is on a mission :)

So, all primed we leave the dummies in the special box (bought and shown to son) at night and then the dummy bunny comes and takes the dummies and leaves a bunny behind to keep my son company and maybe leaves a pressie to.

Funnily enough though it is never a good time to take away the dummy. Little man was ill over Christmas (we were going to give them to Father Christmas), he currently has the tail end chicken pox and today complined about his mouth hurting. I thought it was the last of the chicken pox in the mouth but oh no we have the bottom back molars on the way.....like I said never a good time. We plan on Easter - good time for bunnies to be around I think :)

Will let you know how is goes.
