It's very exciting and its wonderful to finally be over the morning..noon and night sickness!
Being away from my jewelry has given me a renewed sense of excitment to create again. For so long I couldn't even look at my bead room, I'm not sure why...but I've since moved it to a cozy corner of my family room downstairs ...I love it. ( bead room will soon be wigglebutt's room) And I
I bought new organizers for all the jewerly related items...i love the new feeling of organization it really helps free the mind to be creative!

Some new pieces

I know it seems like I have been gone along time, and it feels like it to me too! But I have been doing alot of wirewrapping, rings and necklaces. I can sit on the sofa and do this. Apparantly I am one of the lucky ones that are going to have morning sickness all times of the day and its last well into the 15th week so far! Lucky me!

Anyway, after I wirewrap then I ususally have to oxidized the piece, I do this outside, the smell is horrible. Then I buff the silver to give it that wonderful aged look.
Next they get their pictures taken, then I have to write a description, edit pictures and upload all that onto the ETSY site.
So it is quite a process, but I feel really good about getting so many done lately.

I love these pendants, each one is the creation of an artsy couple living in South Carlolina. They do this full time. Each one is handcarved by the wife, then cast in pewter, oxidized and polished by the husband. Even the backs have interesting details on them!

Here are some I designed around, I hope you enjoy looking at them. The full pictures and descriptions are on my ETSY site!

Baby Boy Shower gift!

Hello Everyone! Today I woke up and kind of had the urge to make some jewelry! I have only been doing things I had to do for people who placed custom orders. But I actually WANT to create today and it feels great!!
The morning sickness has morphed into evening sickness so I had better take advantage of the daytime!
I made this necklace yesterday for a friends baby shower, she is having a boy, see the blue?! I just love it! There are baby girl pendants with a pink theme and a neutral baby look when you don't know what the stork is bringing...And one for TWINS!
If anyone is interested this would be a custom piece and would take a little longer, I do not have the pendants in stock but could get them soon.
Check my Etsy site tomorrow, I'm planning on making some Buckeye jewerly today and hopefully a fall themed necklace!




The back of the pendant is a mirror! Great to check your lipstick!

50 items SOLD!!!!

I'm in 2 more treasuries today, but I'm not going to post them anymore, I'll just tell you the title and if you want to look, you can! Just go to the front page of etsy, then click on Treasury and you can look for these titles!
*My top picks
*Turquoise and Steel
I'm so gratefull that my little boutique is finally getting noticed..and today I hit 50 sales on ETSY!
When I first started there I remember thinking would I ever get to 10?!
And it's a good sign for me..home with morning sickness or mourning sickness as I think of it. Not being able to work for a week..I can at least make a piece now and then and send orders out. Nothing is as motivating as that!
Thanks to everyone for their support :)

a hint of blue

Well I'm back...not sure if anyone missed me or not! But I was extremly sick with morning sickness, day and night and didn't think I'd be back this soon. You may have noticed I closed my etsy site for a few days. I'm taking baby steps (haha) but I couldn't stay away from my passion to make jewelry!
Here is the latest treasury I'm in, I'm always amazed when I see I'm in one! It's nice to know I'm finally getting noticed! (especially this week) :)

Getting into Fall!

I made a few more pieces finally, these rings have been Hot, Hot, Hot!
I made the first one on a whim...not knowing what the response would be... Now I will be ordering more, mainly in size 6 and 7 ( I 'm noticing that is the most poplular) so if you are interested in one for the future and need a unique size... please email me and I will make sure I put it on my order!
Also if you have an idea for one, like a lady had for the "Vintage Romance Pearl" ring below I can do that to..favorite colors etc.
I will be doing Buckeye rings, they will have small swarovski crystal and a tiny little polymer clay buckeye in the middle!
"Fall Berries"

"Green Garnet Garden" sold


"Vintage Romance Pearl Ring" Sold~ Custom order


"Bohemian Rapsody"
