I couldn't wait.....


I think it must be against my nature to have new jewerly and not list it!  I tried, honestly I did, but it just wasn't going to wait another day!  I realize I'm doing a show in Baltimore in two weeks and need to have as much jewelry as possible.  BUT, I do have two weeks!!  I can make a lot of jewelry in two weeks, so I figure I'll be fine.  I listed nine new pieces on my Etsy site tonight.  Here's a preview:















In other news, I've spent the last four days with my nieces, aged 10 and 13, which was SO much fun!  We swam and watched movies, and played games and did crafts and had tons of fun together.  They are truly a joy.

My computer is down.  Art thinks I just need a new power supply cord, but I'm not convinced.  I'll find out tomorrow.  Thank goodness we have an extra laptop in the house! 

Liz came home this weekend with her brand new, super spiffy Nikon SLR camera.  You can see a few of her shots on her blog.  My girly-girls were her models!  Good thing they got haircuts this week!

Have a great week!

An Exception

This one just may have to go on my Etsy site tomorrow!

Finally!!

I'm back, finally!!  Sorry for being MIA for so long.  It's been a bit crazy around here and, as I said in my last post, HOT!  So, I've been in the pool a lot and we've had lots of friends and family in the pool as well.  Makes for a fun summer!


The Needlework Market is coming very soon and I've been making tons of jewelry for that.  It's in Baltimore this year (YAY for me!!!) so no flight needed, no shipping ahead, just an hour's worth of driving.  How cool is that?!


It's absolutely killing me to not be posting my new pieces on my Etsy site and on my website, but I know I have to hold out for this Market.


It's been fun using some needlework antiques I've been saving....strawberry emeries, acorn emeries, tiny pincushions, laying tools....fun stuff!






Back to work!  Lots more jewelry to make!  Hope everyone is having a good one and keeping cool!

New Jewelry!!

I've been having a sale on my Etsy site for the last two weeks or so and I can't tell you how much I've missed listing new jewelry.  Well.....I'm back at it!!  So, I thought I'd give you a preview of the pieces I've started to list and the ones coming all week long.  Here goes!!













That should give you an idea of what's coming!  There are many more pieces I still need to photograph and edit and list.  SOOOO much fun!!  See them here:  Etsy Shop or here:  Website.
