Making Handcrafted Jewellery

Posted on April 2, 2011 by Shirly

Delicate Earlobes was borne out of a Tiffany’s salesman selling us a pair of their diamond earrings for my birthday one year.

For a while now life has been rather busy, which meant I have not been able to update my blog for a while. That and somewhat a loss of enthusiasm for sitting down and writing about my day-to-day challenges.

But since my last entry, I have thought long and hard about what I wanted to do with Delicate Earlobes.

Since this blog originated with jewellery, I thought it apt that I start to include information regarding jewellery.

During this past month I have been on a jewellery design workshop and a beading workshop, just to whet my appetite I thought…just to see if I have any passion or interest in it.

In all honesty, the design workshop did nothing to ignite my interest. But a few days later, I took part in the beginners beading and I’ve been hooked ever since!

Since then, I’ve spent a small fortune on tools, beads and beading strings and wire.

I am still at the practising stage, so am not yet willing to spend an even greater fortune on sterling silver wire, findings etc.

But here are samples of what we made on the day.

We began by making bracelets which were made with a selection of glass beads threaded through Memory Wire, which is said to keep its shape and saves you with having to grapple with toggles or clasps.

Needless to say Prancer lay claim to the pink bracelet, but being the girly girl that she is, she was not so sure about wearing the green and blue bracelet.

What Is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy

Finally I have upgraded my Craniosacral Therapy site to a level that I am happy with and I hope you will be happy with too. Hence my not updating Delicate Earlobes for a while.

So what is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle hands on therapy that produces subtle, but profound healing.

When you come to see me for treatments, we will have a discussion on why you have come for treatments and your expectations. We can then decide on what area you would like treatments to focus on.

Following completion of a treatments record, I will ask you to lie down (there’s no need to undress) on the treatment couch.

You will then notice me gently placing my hands on certain parts of your body.

Throughout the treatments, your body will guide the process. You remain fully in control as your body directs the treatment and attention it needs to find the healing that you need.

Treatments work to provide healing from your core.

What Will You Feel?

During Craniosacral Therapy treatments you may feel tingling, warmth or something shifting within your system. Individual will feel different sensations and you may feel different sensations at each treatment.

What you will feel is a deep sense of relaxation, as though a weight has been lifted.

You may also feel a bit light-headed, especially if you have dozed off during the session.

At each treatment, I aim to bring you back into balance, so you will be able to carry on with your day’s schedule.

Craniosacral Therapy is so gentle it is suitable for all ages from babies, pregnant women, men and into the twilight years.

How Free Is Your Cranio?

Posted on January 20, 2011 by Shirly

So I have reviewed my Craniosacral Therapy website. And boy does it need an overhaul.

But this past week I’m glad to say that I’ve managed to add a couple more pages.

I just wish the search engines would spider and list it a bit quicker.

Mmmm…do you notice a bit of urgency and frustration there? It’s what disillusioned me in the first place.

I need to improve my site some more, so all will be revealed in due course.

Anyway, with regards to Craniosacral Therapy. It’s purpose is to release any constrictions in your body.

Any trauma, stress, injury or emotional trauma that you have ever experienced tend to leave its mark on your system.

Do you still feel pain in your body as a remnant of an injury or emotional turmoil?

Then you may need some Craniosacral Treatments to help release the ache or pain that you are carrying.

Yesterday I went and left my leaflets and poster at the clinic I will be working from as of February.

Prior to going to the clinic I went to a health food shop in Chiswick to see if they would put my leaflets up.

“Yes we can” she said. “But you have to come and do a taster once a month, as we get asked all the time, then we never see the therapist again.”

I stood in front of a group of parents for two hours on a weekly basis talking about childbirth way back in November.

An hour once a month is a doddle!

Erm…just got to prepare my shpeel that’s all.
