I am working on it......

People are always asking me when
am I going to add some necklaces to
my shop. Yes, by people I mean my
mom.

Anyway, I have finally finished this
one above, and by finished I mean I have yet to clean it or polish it
yet or it would be in my shop!

This delicate little necklace is actually very pretty, as you shall see when she is finished.

A gold-fill circle is suspended from 16"
of gold-fill chain. I have hand made the clasp, the circle, and all the jump rings, which are soldered for added durability.

I also plan to create this necklace in sterling and I would love to hear your opinions. Just remember to be brutally honest when you tell me how much you adore it!

Have a fabulous Wednesday!

Pajamas and a Hammer


Yes, those are my old, ratty sheep pajamas you see there. Yes, it is almost 11 am central time. Don't judge me, I am sick. I have a sinus infection that won't take the day off. And I have orders to fill.

Don't worry, the orders get disinfected before they are sent out!

Right now I am working on the "Hold Me Tight" ring set. It is a little more difficult than it usually is since I don't feel well. That means I am taking it a little slower. I am also tempted to make me a set as well.

It is difficult making all this jewelry I love and not being able to keep it for myself!

This set is going to a lovely return customer of mine, so that makes me feel better!

Have a healthy Tuesday!

I love custom orders!


The only thing I love more than wholesale orders, is custom orders. Isn't it great to list something you KNOW is going to sell? It really takes out the guesswork doesn't it?

Of course, there is always the anxiety of whether or not the customer will like it.

Well today that was a sterling silver cuff bracelet for one of my good friends! Yay! And she says she loves it!

Maybe tomorrow I can create something new?

Have a happy Wednesday!

New Stuff--Come Check It Out!

I am very excited because I have added some new pieces to my my shop, A Blond And A Torch!



I just love this set, Eternal Love. As soon as I have some extra time (yeah, right) I am going to make myself one!









Now, my husband thinks these are really cool. They are my Trifecta Earrings and I think they are really unique.




Now, I am torn between two loves.One is for the Eternal Love ring set, and the other for this set. This is Always & Forever and I just adore it as well.


Maybe you can help me choose?

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Rainy Monday


It is just one of those days. Nothing seems to be going right. I have already set off the smoke alarm twice making jewelry! This makes me want to lay in bed all day and stare at the ceiling.

It is raining outside so I cannot take any decent pictures. *stomps foot* And I have to stay home because I am waiting on the satellite guy to get here.

But, on a brighter note, my plants are all getting watered without me lifting a finger. The birds are still chirping away and my dogs are running around the yard loving the feel of the rain.

And I pulled the battery out of my smoke alarm for a while. See? All better :)

A Few New Designs For Spring...

Happy Sunday, everyone!

I got up early this morning and snapped a few pictures of three of my latest designs that will soon be added to my shop.

These are my small Beaded Eternity Hoops. I just love their simplicity. They go with EVERYTHING, from the office to a night out. How great is that?



These are my large Beaded Eternity Hoops earrings. Just like the small hoops, but BIGGER!




This is my new favorite ring set! This one already has a home, but when I have some time I am making me a set too! I am calling it my Eternal Love ring set. All three rings were made from solid sterling silver and can be ordered in any size.


Maybe I can take some better photos later. I took these at 7 AM and the light wasn't all that great. But I think you can get the idea from these! I am really excited and I cannot wait to add them to my Etsy shop.

Have a great day!

You've Been Warned

James Patterson is always good for a light read. His books are a great escape when you don't want to think about anything or have to think too hard. Most are very enjoyable as well, and, since he is using coauthors, he is spitting them out one after the other.

I recently read "7th Heaven" and "Quickie". I really liked "Quickie" and I would recommend you read it if you are a Patterson fan.

Last night I finished "You've Been Warned" simply because it is the ONLY Patterson book I have never read. Well, I have mixed feelings about it. It is definitely different than most of his other books, but it was interesting and it does make you want to find out what it really going on.

And if you are a Patterson fan you already know that most of the pages in the book are blank and each chapter is only a couple of pages long. Easy, easy read. Go on and read it, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Have a beautiful Saturday!
