My parents go to bed early...

...so that means when I am visiting them, there is much time to spend making jewelry. I just can't make myself go to bed at 9pm. Last night, I made some more earrings. Here they are:

My Latest

Here are my latest creations. I did these a couple of nights ago to give away at our staff gift exchange tonight.



Also...I've had several of you ask me about prices. Not 100% sure where to start with that, but if they are super simple, I'd probably charge $8. If they are the typical ones, like most on this blog, I'd charge $10. And if they are chandelier earrings (like these above and the first ones I did and the black ones about half way down), I'd charge $15.

So, let me know if you are interested in any of these or even if you like some of them, but would want a different color. I'd love to make some for you!

Weekend Therapy

It's amazing how therapeutic it is to make these things...lots of concentration and lots of closure. It's great!


I'll be wearing these to the next Carolina game!!

First attempt at a necklace...

So, here is my first attempt at a necklace. I struggled quite a bit through the clasps... Added that on my list of things to learn more about.

40% off...luring me back

Guess what, friends?? It has been two whole days since I went to Michaels!! I am so proud of myself. Did you know that each time you buy something, there is a 40% off coupon at the bottom of your receipt. It is good for the following week. Well, when you go to Michaels 5 days in a row, that's a lot of 40% off coupons...and a lot more temptation to go back and spend more and get more 40% off coupons and the cycle continues.

Here's the latest that my 40% off has gotten me...

Green

Again, just some fun things I've created. I'm putting these up here to show them off, but also so that you can look at them and do a little online shopping. :) Let me know if you'd like to give any for Christmas gifts.

Merry Christmas Mom...

So these are a pair I made for my mom this weekend. She showed me a new dress that she had and asked if I could make some to match. The dress was black, gray and cream colored, so here is what I came up with. An early Christmas present. And she tells me that she is wearing them at work today!
