I have been on a bracelet and necklace making "kick" this week! I have found oodles of old necklaces that were calling out to me to change them up a bit. Here a some pictures of my creations this week. They are colorful, fun, one of a kind, and big time bead-uh-licious! Today I worked on some resin jewelry. I have tried this before, but failed miserably! They should be ready tomorrow, so I

I have been going through some of my flea markets "treasures" this week and have unearthed some old beaded necklaces and bracelets. What did I do with those? I have made NEW bracelets out of them. Take a peek here, they will be for sale on the website this week. Also I have made some funky recycled bracelets out of fabric and used shipping tape rolls! How is that for recycling?

Morgan has a recycling project for school this week, so we made a doll out of a used dish washing liquid bottle. We put an old sock over it for the dress, old beads I no longer used for a necklace, a wooden spoon for the head- with some googly eyes, pom-pom nose and a pipe-cleaner mouth. Her hair is pink yarn-she kind of reminds me of a girl "Beaker" from the Muppet Show . Here's a picture of it,

Well the holidays are over and I am looking forward to 2009. I do not do resolutions, because I usually forget about them after a couple of weeks. I do hope to be more successful in my jewelry making and selling this year, as well as my knitting adventures. My knitting blog is here: http://simplyknits.blogspot.com/. I hope everyone has a wonderful 2009!

I haven't blogged in awhile, so I need to get back on it. I have been playing around with resin casting and have made a few pieces. I have been too busy with my day job and my mother and wifely duties to take pics, so I hope to get them up before the week is out. I do like resin casting, but geez, it takes up to 4 steps, and not to mention the drying time between those steps. Anyway, happy

I have a day job, but would rather stay at home and run my own business. I am currently making necklaces and rings and hope that someday I can quit the day job and concentrate on my crafty endeavors. Any advice?

Last Sunday, I was bitten by a tick, and when I removed it from my foot, it came apart. I decapitated it. Anyway, I started getting sick late Monday night and then went to the doc on Tuesday. I have been taking antibiotics since then, and have not gotten anything done around the house! I have a few new pieces of jewerly made up and will really try to post them this coming week.

I use old earrings, brooches, buttons, game pieces, etc. and turn them into "new" necklaces and rings. I have even cut up old bracelets, and added "junk" and made them into necklaces. If you are interested in purchasing my "one of a kind" jewelry, just drop a line at: autumn1220@yahoo.com
