Welcome/ Introduction/ I finally did it!

Hello Floatlings!

Well look at me Im finally writing my first Blog! Starting a blog was something I have been thinking about for a long time but first I had a to do list to make it happen,

1. Set my spell checker to English rather than American
2. Decide if people would actually want to read about the thoughts in my head
3. Finish the other to do list I had before I could start the to do list to cross off starting a blog on my 3rd to do list! (If that makes any sense)

As I type I have narrowed my custom order list down to 3 orders, the ones I cant start because I am waiting for parts to be delivered to finish that extra special piece I have been entrusted to design and make.

I am a jewellery designer. those of you that have found my blog by chance, I sell mainly on Facebook, here is my page http://www.facebook.com/FloatingVintageDesigns

I love what I do, Since starting FVD last April, it has gradually consumed my life, If I am not creating new pieces, I am thinking of new ideas, thinking of the new collection, making the taggies, sending invoices or networking to make my little business grow. My job is FVD, my life is FVD. I love it!!!

However.. my husband does not!

I recently got married to the man of my dreams, (no not George Clooney, he was busy) Mr.FVD is the loveliest man you will ever meet but he does not share my passion for all things vintage, all things facebook or indeed all things FVD. He periodically has a moan that I spend much more time on FVD work than I ever did in my previous job. He would be right! (I dont tell him that though)

For instance, On our honeymoon in December/January we were lazily sunbathing round the pool of our 5* luxury hotel that took us so long to save up for but was totally worth it, Mr.FVD was listening to his music and Mrs.FVD was busily writing ideas in a little notebook for the first new collection I was going to make once I was back in England. Now that is dedication! (or extremely sad) Winter Wonder was born, In 30 degree heat. ironic or what?

So that is me, A happily married, most of the time, creative workaholic but I really wouldn't have it any other way right now.

thank you for reading,
