Copper Diem

Amy  the super sweet blog host of the blog Copper Diem sent me a message yesterday that she wanted to profile my bead sets on her blog.  I am so super excited about how it turned out. Please go check it out there is a coupon for 15% off my shop, plus a giveaway of two of my sweet little amber bird beads!

While you are there check out her store Green Bead.  Her jewelry is colorful, unique and  beautiful! Her blog is exciting and fresh.  She has something different everyday with beautiful pictures, fun stories and lots of other interesting reads!

Bracelets and Bangles

I posted some Bangles and Bracelets that I made sometime ago.  I have local customers that have been asking me to put them in my shop... so after some procrastinating a bit I did it yesterday.  It makes me want to make more! So take a look :)

Posting Some Jewelry ... Finally!

I have lots of Jewelry that I have made out of my beads.  I have it stashed in little bags inside boxes and bins.  I have had people ask me to post my jewelry in my shop but for some reason I always get hung up on some detail. For example I have a ton of rings and bracelets but I worry about sizes and how to take pictures of them that would be appealing.. oh and about a thosand other details.

  This is exactly what happened to me when I opened my Etsy shop.  I got hung up on a thosand little details and it kept me from posting my beads forever.  I got over the fear and now posting my beads is a breeze.  So I am throwing caution to the wind and just doing it.  I am sure there will be a learning curve on how to present my jewelry but how will I learn if I don't just do it?

Here are some pictures of my new earrings I am posting and hopefully over the next few days I will be adding rings and bracelets too!

Tiny Turtles and Tiny Houses

So this is the fun stuff I have been making!  I love my turtles so much I can't wait to make more!  I my little houses are fun too and I did make some tiny little gnomes to go along with them but they didn't make this last glaze firing.

I have lot's of new beads that I am working on too. 

It has been a crazy summer so far. I am hoping to use these last few weeks will be more productive for me.

New Stuff New Start New Summer!

 I have been so busy with the kids and school the past couple of months that I have left my poor blog alone.  So now that summer has started  I will have more time to keep this poor blog updated. 

Here a some pictures of what I posted in my shop to today to kickstart the blog back up! Going to start rakuing again this summer and I have some non bead ceramic items in the works that I am excited about too!

Sweet Little Birds

I pulled new stuff out of the kiln this morning.  I tried out some new glazes which I found underwhelming...  I am going to try out some more today. 

I did get two sets of bird beads that I am pleased with.

And these new lentil beads I made are fantastic! I love them so very much! All of these yummy new beads are available in my shop right now!

Handmade Buttons

Here are some lovely porcelain buttons I made.  I keep making them.  I wish someone would give them a good home because they are purty!

So if you know anyone who loves funky chunky handmade button please direct them to my store and help give these little fella's a home :P
