Ya, I'm loving this design

I am so stuck on this design. It is one of my top sellers so I thought, what the heck, make a pair for myself. Of course this crappy photo doesn't do it justice, but these are lemon topaz that are faceted. The picture looks like some plastic piece of junk. Can somebody wave the photography wand that I can be blessed with more talent with taking photos of jewelry.

Oh a oxidizing I will go...

I have the oxidized bug. After my last few pieces that I shared with you all I did a real fun custom piece and that made me want to create some earrings in the same style. This pair I fused fine sterling silver wire and then hand forged it. Dangling is faceted iolite, citrine and raspberry colored freshwater pearls. I think I will make another pair for myself unless someone local purchases them. Who wants to wear the same jewelry as another right?

It's About Freaking Time

I have FINALLY caught the scrapbooking bug again. It has only been like over a year since I have created a LO. I would have never thought another craft would take over my scrapbooking, but wired jewelry has.

Excuse the glare on the photo. I don't know how to fix it and I am too lazy to redo it. This LO is from my 40th birthday a year and a half ago.

Pee-Yew!

Today I finally got to play with my liver of sulfa. Pee-Yew! I knew it smelt like rotten eggs, but there is always that little something inside me that has to smell it to make sure. Glad I took the warnings of oxidizing my jewelry outside.


This first piece is a bracelet I created using faceted labrodite and fresh water pearls.





Then I did an earring and bracelet set with citrine and freshwater pearls.

The bracelet I added these cool ceramic beads and Swarvoski crystals. I like the links I made for added flair. I am still debating if I should keep this set for myself or not. SOLD

This next bracelet is just a very simply labrodite and pearl. Can you believe I had three lamps and a photo tent when photographing these. Yikes! :( SOLD

Got Wood?

Of course this is just a fraction of the lumber that we need for our deck. Yes if you can't beat em' I say join em'. In other words since we aren't moving at this time (who would in this market???)we figured we might as well make our postage stamp sized yard usable with a deck.

My oh so wonderful friend Mina designed and is construction this magnificent piece of what I like to call luxury.

It is no small affair either. This bad boy is measuring 32ft x 16ft. So basically it is taking over half our our back yard. Is it worth it? You bet your hammer and nails it is.

Think Spring

Spring cannot come fast enough for me. I can feel it coming. The days are getting longer and my hyacinths are budding. I decided to create a spring bracelet with lilac and turquiose colors. The yellow background is just thrown in for good measure. To me it screams Easter now, but on the wrist it is very pretty. I might have to keep this one for myself.

Can I get a woot woot?

Woot! Woot! I did it! Freaking finally! I lost almost two pounds and this means I am at my five pound marker. Only F O U R weeks to do it lol. So this means I get my prize.
The last time I lost a ton of weight what worked for me was setting out a prize for every five pound loss. My first prize is some self tanner lotion for my face. It has been killing me not to buy this stuff. I always crave a little color around this time of year. Don't worry, I will do the rest of my body to. Don't want to come out looking all redneck. Not an attractive look on women. Hell, it isn't a very attractive look on men.
