What a panic! My new website has just gone live within the last few weeks and I received a reminder to renew my domain name. This is an annual event but as I have a new site it was urgent that I do this before the deadline date of 6 February, 2012. I duly renewed as per instruction on the email with my card but I find that the company are in Australia! Last night I thought I would go on to my website and find that I could not access it at all.
Rather strange? I contacted Duncan of ListEd Website Design who immediately dealt with it and made the payment. My site should go live within 48 hours but due to my bank's incompetence I have nearly lost my domain name!
I will be phoning the bank at 9.00 am today!
So my site is not working as we speak but should be live within 48 hours.

What has my day been like? It started with Dave coming to complete installing a radiator which he had begun on Saturday but couldn't finish until he got certain parts to finish the job. Meanwhile I spent most of the morning on my laptop answering emails as well as browsing on Facebook among other things. I waited for the postman (who I now know really well) as he brings me parcels most days. My sterling silver cufflink chain arrived and so I could then post the hammered copper cufflinks that I am currently working on. These have been sent to the Edinburgh Assay Office to be stamped with my personal maker's mark (SK) as well as the 925 sterling silver and the castle for Edinburgh too. These will not be returned to me until about Thursday. After that I need to solder the chain to each cufflink part and then pickle to remove oxide. I will then polish and finish them before delivering to my customer. These are a special gift from a wife to her husband for his birthday and she had a say in the design - a rhomboid shape with hammered markings to catch the light. After the radiator was installed I had to hoover and clean away the resulting dust - although Dave is very tidy.
Tomorrow will need to be a 'making' day where I can work on all my orders which are many. However, I enjoyed today as it gave me the chance to catch up with the paperwork which is a necessary evil of running your own business.

Sheila Kerr Jewellery's Studio in Irvine
The view from my workbench looks out to the sea and the island of Arran in the distance. No two days are the same but always the sun sets behind Arran (if it's not raining you can see the fantastic outline of this well known landmark).
I'm so looking forward to the spring as I moved into my studio last September and then the weather deteriorated. I have seen all kinds of weather as I work at my bench - from fabulous winter sunsets to hailstones battering on the dormer windows of my upstairs studio. No matter the weather I just love working there!
