What I've been up to.

I have been making jewelry even in my sleep. These are just samplings of what I will have at the "BIG SHOW" on Thursday. Then maybe life will get back to "normal". My normal is not anyone else's normal, but whatever.

I got most of my ideas of the Anthro-and Jcrew websites. They have some awesome stuff.

*** I have had some questions about the rings, I found this -blog- used the EXACT SAME technique and we even made one of the rings the same. I got my buttons at Jo Ann's and Hobby Lobby. If you make some share a picture, I can even put it on my blog. Have fun!!

and I am so addicted to making stuff. I challenged myself to only use what I have and make NO trips to the craft store. Mostly because I have way to much stuff I need to use up and also because I might not do this again, so I don't want to be stuck with a bunch of stuff that I am not going to use.

This flower made of a black zipper is one of my favorites. It looks awesome with a plain white t-shirt and a cute skirt. I don't know if I can pull it off, but I am really trying to be that kinda girl. we shall see, if I don't sell it, I will try it an let you know.

I have done a few sewing projects, and I even took pictures at different stages, but when I downloaded my pics I laughed, I have been so stressed out that I ddidn't get pics of each stage of all of them, They are really random. I got the first few pics of one project, and the ending of another project. ughhhh. When can I have my brain back, I feel like it was abducted by aliens. I am starting to think it will always be like this. Have a nice week,

Old But new again.

My kids NEVER WEAR OUT THEIR CLOTHES, I MEAN -N E V E R-. They grow so dang fast that if there is a hole in something, there must have been a mishap on the playground. I guess its nice. Wait, no its not, I spend so much more money on clothes than my friends do, it is really frustrating to me. One funny fact. Me my husband and our 3 kids in school, (12,10,&7) Have never been in a class picture where we weren't in the last row. I don't think any of us are awkwardly freakishly tall,... just tall..... Whats my point???

Highwaters.... yep I can't stand 'em. Its always been my pet peeve, if I can see their socks, I might as well stick a pocket protector in their shirt, then scrape my nails down a chalkboard. I have tried to turn it around for this spring. I am not going to buy this girl any more shorts or capri's, I am hacking off her highwaters, (that look like new cause I just bought them and then she grew). She modeled her new capri's for me the other day, and this skirt that I made from a pair of pants, and a ton of appliques. I love them, and so does she. She loves to be different

I am making a tutorial to show you how to make your own, but if you don't like to applique or sew on denim, click on my etsy shop I only have these made up so far, but like I said, I have plenty more I can make.

check back in a few days for my tutorial, and if you choose to buy one in my shop. Let me know if you would like a pair of earings or a hair clip, The sunshine makes me want to give stuff away.!!

A few new things.

The Abigail Necklace. I wanted something springy. This necklace may be young. So I made it 25 inches. so it would be the longer style on a young lady or shorter style for a more mature woman. (ha that meand old in polite language right?) I think I will make the earrings smaller. hmmm. This will be in my shop soon.

The Kate Necklace. shorter style can be lengthened. The chain itself is only about 20" Anything you purchase in my shop can be altered in length for a minimal fee. Sometimes for free.

This necklace I LOVE LOVE LOVE. I had to name it the Kristin Sue. she will know exactly why. although I think Sunnie already has dibbs. I will be making more in this style. Adding fabric flowers to jewelry is so much fun. It is all over at the NAME brand websites too.

If you have any requests of something you would like to see in my shop or a custom order I can happily take them at any time. I will only be doing custom orders for the next two months, after that I may have to take time off for moving. ((YIKES))

I will be adding MANY things to my shop later today. Including several beaded watchband kits.

PHEW!!!!

It'S HeRe, It's FinAlLy HeRe.

I finished setting up my Etsy Shop, I hope you will check it out. So far what I have posted is the things I have from last yeas craft show some friends and I held at my house. They've been sitting around the house. Well now I need to find a way to pay for the new water heater. ....boring.... but being out of debt won't be boring. Please check it out and tell me what you think. I am working on some AWESOME and unique things to put up soon. I hope you will check back often.

If you are not allready a follower please do so now, I like to know who my peeps are. Following is cool, everybody's doing it you know. (J/K) If you are on the dashboard screen in blogger you can easily (at the bottom of the dashboard) scroll through everybodys new posts that you are following. Its my new obsession. You can also follow in many other formats, this is the easiest for me.

Don't forget the apron drawing, MONDAY NIGHT!!!
