Flaming June - a last post blog for the month!

Hello everyone. So sorry for being rather lax on the blog front. We are in the midst of building work and have intermittent access to either the phone, the internet or power for the builders! Unfortunately, I have also had to tidy and pack away all my workshop, as the builders need access to pipes and cables below the floorboards, so no new jewellery has been made either. I feel rather odd! Like one of my arms has been cut off! However, I hope to make things up to you a bit with this gorgeous flame based blog featuring so many creative talents from the world of Folksy.....

Thanks so much - here is to a productive July! Jacqueline x
