2011 interestingly went by in a blink

From the lack of blog activity in 2011 you would be forgiven for thinking i had fallen asleep but far from it , we had a busy start to the new year and it continued through till the end of august, i was very busy with one off commissions, i had been designing and tinkering with new ideas for 2011/12 for most of the year and some of those ideas will be featured in the next couple of blog entries. From september onwards Southport was dragged into the retail recession and general jewellery sales slowed down, my one off designs and repair work continued to be busy right through xmas and that brings me to 2012, happy new year to you all.
