Earrings!

I have finally put some earrings in my Etsy shop!  I have made a few pairs but I wanted them to look a certain way... I just couldn't make up my mind what way that was.  After a few trials and errors, I added a crystal to each pair and finally go the look I was going for.   I have four pairs that are ready; two are already in Etsy and the other two pairs need to be photographed, but should be there later this week.  Check them out:

Light Switch Covers

I have been making a few light switch covers.  I started because I wanted one for my room, and then I thought I would try out some different designs.  They are fun to make and it is nice to have a bigger space to work with.  However, they can take a really long time to make!  I will have to figure out what to charge for them and add them to my shop.  Here is my favorite so far:

Happy New Year!

Hello again :)  I got lost in the business of Christmas and the wonderful, inspirational, time-wasting, fantastic website known as pinterest.com.  If you have not seen it yet, you should, but be warned: you may end up spending LOTS of time looking at all the amazing things on it.  I have been trying to get away from just looking and pinning things and start actually trying to cook some of the recipes and make some of the crafts.  To that end, I made 35 origami balloons today!  

 

They were easy to make once I stopped creasing all the folds.  I had a few unsuccessful attempts of blowing up my balloons before I figured that out.  Once they were all made, I put them on a string of white Christmas lights and hung them in the kitchen.  I think they look great!  

It adds some nice color to my kitchen.  I have several other things from Pinterest that I am eager to try - I will keep you updated on how they turn out!

My First Sale!

I sold two necklaces on Etsy!  Yes they were to a friend, but I am still very excited :)  It is a great boost in confidence.

I found this fence near the river on my flower walk the other day and found it very inspiring:

I have always loved spirals and use them in my drawings and paintings as well as in my jewelry.  I think they are just beautiful!
