Hi
For the month of July our boat will be moored in Brandy Hole, on the River Crouch in Essex. It's a drying mooring so we spend most of the day looking at mud! It's beautiful when the tide is in though and there's plenty of wildlife to look out for.
Jack is working on a boat in the boatyard at the moment as well as making some changes to our boat. We are making some preparations for wintering aboard, such as lining our lockers with foam sheets to prevent condensation. Other improvements include a waterproof chart holder for the cockpit, so we don't have to go in the boat to use the chart table when we're sailing.
I packed my jewellery workshop away so that we could go sailing this weekend, but with gale force 6-7 forecast we decided to stay put! I am setting the workshop up again today to continue working on some new resin pieces. I hope to try a new epoxy resin which I am hoping will set quicker and speed up my production times....
You can see some of my resin jewellery in my Etsy store. If you've never been to http://www.etsy.com before you have to! It's a huge site where crafters from all over the world sell their handmade goods. I sell my jewellery on there but I am also addicted to browsing and adding things to my favourites list - here's one of my favourite sellers - I can't wait to get one of their hip flasks: http://www.moxieandoliver.etsy.com/
