Please note these fires have killed over 181 people, killed over 1 million Native animals, i have not heard a count for the Domestic animals (such as dogs and cats etc), but i did hear that one lady lost 100 dogs (just on her property alone), plus there has been reports of many farm animals lost in these bushfires.<br /><br />This is so heart breaking as an 'Australian', and indeed... our pain has been felt by those around the world as i have seen the News coverage and read different forums on line where many people around the world send their sympathy and try to help in anyway that they can.

I think it is terrible the conditions that surrounded the Sailing yesterday. It is no wonder why so many boats capsized. The smog was so thick!<br />I had trouble seeing the boats! I can only 'imagine' how the different competitors must of been feeling in that race. Terrible conditions. They need to have another race... with better conditions.<br /><br />Just my 2 cents worth!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1907751445041596397-4106035771793427692?l=kewliesdesigns.blogspot.com'/></div>Kewliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05583680090330505241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907751445041596397.post-51473144283347783712008-08-16T04:31:00.000-07:002008-08-16T04:49:17.421-07:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">Sterling Silver, Pearl and Black Onyx Cuff Bracelet...<br />I have been busy trying to design some jewellery.<br />Here is my first attempt at making a cuff bracelet.<br /></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k392/jewledjewlz/2008_0816MOREpics20030.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k392/jewledjewlz/2008_0816MOREpics20030.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k392/jewledjewlz/2008_0816MOREpics20026.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k392/jewledjewlz/2008_0816MOREpics20026.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k392/jewledjewlz/2008_0816MOREpics20031.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k392/jewledjewlz/2008_0816MOREpics20031.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1907751445041596397-5147314428334778371?l=kewliesdesigns.blogspot.com'/></div>Kewliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05583680090330505241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907751445041596397.post-57940233081518074532008-08-15T21:17:00.000-07:002008-08-15T21:21:13.063-07:00It is so <span style="font-weight: bold;">BITTERLY COLD</span> here today!<br />I cannot seem to get warm!

Is this going to make it a lot harder to sell things? People won't have that extra cash flow will they... to buy jewellery? Or will they? I hope we don't head into a recession, but people have been losing jobs left right and center over here. And with petrol going up all the time and groceries always going up...everything is going up all of the time.

That is because I haven't made any, lol. I wish that the price of silver would come down... and gold prices too, for that matter! lol<br />I cannot wait to get my tax return back, I have a lot that I want to buy when that comes back.<br /><br />My passion I think is with making jewellery with the wire wrapping technique. But, I also want to get into Polymer clay, PMC etc. There are so many medias out there to try. I guess, i can just take it 'one step @ a time'... I get so frustrated with myself. I hope that I find a job soon, that would sure help alot right about now so that I can get up and running.<br /><br />I want to make a business out of selling hand made jewellery.... and i am somewhat impatient with myself, cause it is taking forever for me to get started. I am currently researching for the best suppliers out there etc.<br />I have some pictures of some earrings that I made earlier this year, but I am not all that happy with them. Maybe I could post some pictures later of them? I dunno, i will see... lol<br /><br />I hope that you are all having a great day...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1907751445041596397-8933882280088506844?l=kewliesdesigns.blogspot.com'/></div>Kewliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05583680090330505241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907751445041596397.post-15074091802195340752008-07-20T21:41:00.001-07:002008-07-20T22:17:35.381-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_0TWFKaw3LPw/SIQUvCM2xGI/AAAAAAAAABM/tGCejYCDO4U/s1600-h/AK000082.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_0TWFKaw3LPw/SIQUvCM2xGI/AAAAAAAAABM/tGCejYCDO4U/s200/AK000082.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225324265933816930" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Porscha is a huge part of what makes me...

Perhaps you do wire wrapping? Or perhaps you specialize in Polymer Clay? Maybe you love to dabble in a variety of jewellery making ways. Please come tell me all about it!</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">If you know of any good tutorials, please feel free to let me know...
