What I've Been Working On

This summer has kept me much busier than usual as far as orders go, and I love it!  In between making hoops I never thought would be so popular, and screen printing my favorite tank by the box full, I've had a few breaks here and there to work on some new items...

Find the items here (from the top):  Triangle Studs, Saint Rings, Set of 3 Stacking Rings, Bonjour Y'all Tank, Circular Open Hoops, Etched Cuff Bracelet, Gemstone Stud Earrings

I have so many ideas for new screen designs for totes and tops, and I want to make new gemstone stud earrings, as well as photograph the gemstone stacking rings I've made, but unless days become 30 hours instead of 24, it may be a while yet...

Do you have any projects going on at the moment?

flytiers jewelbox

every now and then, when i get a large order, i treat myself to a little something i don't need, but would really like to have. the other week, beca sent me a link to the shop flytiers jewelbox, and i'm so glad she did! i don't wear much jewelry, but one thing i've always liked, maybe more than the rest, is bracelets! i added this bracelet to my favorites thinking maybe i'd get it, maybe i wouldn't; i made it mine.

since my wrists are the same size as those of a fetus, i had to get sonja to make a mini sized one, and seriously, i can't even say how much i love it. would i sound crazy if i said i planned my outfit around it today so that it would be the thing to stand out? if i would, then i didn't, but if i wouldn't, then i totally did.

sonja's shop is great, and i especially love the leather tassel bracelet. i'm thinking my wrist will cry little wrist tears if i don't get it eventually. also, i'm pretty sure i want the last two bracelets to wear with my yellow wrapped bracelet for an awesome collection. i just really love bracelets. really.

i guess i don't really have much more to say. oh, well i did see a bald eagle near my house on the way to work today, and that's incredibly unusual since they don't nest here and the nearest river is about 20 miles away. also, you know how you have those days where you feel like you just can't seem to make people happy? it's one of those days, which means i should probably stay away from the internet, otherwise i'll be tempted to whine, and who likes a whiner? no one. i hope you've had a good thursday!

holy moly magazines and such

I wouldn't consider myself a proud person, nor do I brag, I'm quite humble, but every now and then something really exciting happens. My latest bit of news: House Beautiful. Yep. Amy from House Beautiful contacted me about including this leather bow bracelet in their online Holiday Gift Guide from October through January, and of course I agreed! I'm super happy, and all the while thankful for my skills (if that's what you'd call them) and all the exposure I can get!
