Satin Ribbons, Pearls and Scarves

It's not easy keeping up with blogging. I don't know how people that have full time jobs, families and crafts and house work get everything done. My virtual hat is off to you.

Here are a few items that are coming to my shop. The one at the top of the photo is chain and satin ribbon and some glass pearls all braided together and have a toggle clasp.


The next one has cream and chocolate glass pearls and are hanging from a ribbon that goes around your neck and ties.

The last one is a triple strand of glass pearls in black and cream with a black satin ribbon for the tie around the neck. You can make it several lengths.

I think that I will be making some different versions of these necklaces over the next couple of days and weeks.

I am preparing for another home show at a friends house.




















I make jewelry and this is what I chose to wear to work the other day... a knotted scarf:) I used to wear scarves so often a friend of mine, who shall remain nameless with the initials WS, called me Scarf Woman for a time in the '90s.

Something for Your Everyday

When I started to sell my jewelry on Etsy I ordered some business cards and added the line, "Handcrafted Jewelry for Your Everyday". I really believe that the jewelry I make is for wearing everyday because you should feel special everyday.

Here are a couple of examples of the casual yet pretty earrings that you can find at my little shop. I really have been enjoying creating and offering my work for sale. It is hard to find the time sometimes to create, photograph, edit and post the jewelry and I'm not always organized. I'm organized in my mind but I don't know if that counts.

My husband finally convinced me to move the jewelry making upstairs and off of the kitchen table so now I have a little desk to do my work. No TV though and I do like to watch my stories while I work.

I will have to take some photographs to show off the space. I know I like to see into the world of other jewelry makers and bakers. I will also take a few pics of some beautiful earrings and necklaces I am working on for a co-worker. They are turning out very, very nice and I hope the girls in her wedding like the jewelry.
