Countdown to fabulousness

The Craftacular is coming.  Four days to go!  I'm so excited!

Full Speed Ahead

So. I started this jewelry making thing again (I used to make jewelry before I decided grad school was a good idea). It has been a blast. I feel creative! Artistic! Yadda Yadda! On a whim, I decided to apply to the Bust Craftacular craft show in New York City. I got accepted.

I have spent the last few days alternately euphoric and panicky, but I think I've settled on excited. If you're in NYC on December 1-2, please stop by and see me!

Spending some time adding to the Etsy shop today.

Monkey see, Monkey make

I enjoy Mad Men.  I especially enjoy Mad Men when there is amazing jewelry.   At The Codfish Ball featured beautiful gowns and accessories, inspiring me to make my own pair of sparkly earrings.

SPRING
Spring starts gracefully
then turns against you with hate
ending with rain.

Etsy or not?

I started making jewelry again as a creative outlet. Also, it gives me something new and pretty to wear (score!). The dilemma is, do I put things I really like on Etsy and sell them, or do I keep them for myself?





My first attempt at a "statement" necklace. It jingles!
