Christmas
Hello everyone!
I wanted to let everyone know that I have introduced a Bridal Line of jewelry! I am very excited about the possibilities! I have just finished doing two art & craft shows where I had displayed my line. The response was very well received! I created a wedding dress on a smaller mannequin that I have and it looked great!
If you know of anyone that is getting married, spread the word! I am thinking of getting into a wedding expo show. I will have to check around to see what is involved in that.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Funny how sometimes you get bored with a piece, put it away for another time, get it back out and have a new perspective on it! Art is very mood based in my opinion. You have to find your muse. The old saying, "When it rains, it pours" is how my creativity flows. I go for awhile with nothing. Then all of a sudden I have tons of ideas! Then I have to organize my thoughts on paper so as to not forget!
Right now I am working on a commissioned piece. I am going to dedicate the next couple of days to seriously working on this cuff! What will you be doing with your weekend? Hopefully next week I will post pictures of my commissioned piece!
Until then, have a fabulous weekend!

Summer!
Hello everyone!
School is almost out and I can finally breath! All these activities and running around has certainly driven my creativity almost to a halt. Happy to report, I am back in the grove! Yay! I have so many ideas and projects circling around in my brain. I have begun to assemble my floor loom, well ok, lets be honest....Scott has started to assemble it. Not an easy task! I am taking lessons in weaving and am very excited about the possibilities!
Jewelry is still my main focus, never fear! I have added new classes to my repertoire of classes that I am teaching! If you or a friend is interested in learning a new skill or project, please get in touch with me to set something up!
What are you going to be doing with your summer? Learning to make jewelry does not mean that you have to do so indoors. Grab some iced tea and a few material and go sit outside! I hand knotted 7 feet of czech glass beads on the beach last year!
Whatever your goals are for the summer, let your creativity stretch itself!
Until next time!

Hints, tips, and tricks
Hello all! I hope you are all enjoying your Friday!
From time to time I will be giving you some jewelry hints, tips, or tricks that will help you create wonderul pieces!
If you are a seed beader and deal with long lengths of thread at one time, I have the perfect solution for those times that you need to put your project away for a time period. Take the thread that is still attached to your project and wind it up in a bobbin. I leave the needle hanging out. This way you do not have a ball of thread that you will end up unknotting and causing hours of frustration. I use one of my Kumihimo plastic bobbins. It works great! I do have extra in case I actually want to do a project on the Kumihimo disk.
You can find these wonderful things at most of your bead supply stores. I can always recomend a GREAT bead store if you find yourself needing one.
Well that is my great and wonderful tip for today! I hope it helps! If anyone has any tips that they would like to share, please feel free to let me know!
Enjoy the weekend!

Groundhog's Day?
I for one am grateful that I do not reside in Punxsutowney, PA. The clips that were on the news, I have to say, showed just how bizarre the whole thing really is! Am I the only one out there who is left wondering why no one has clued in to the fact that this furry creature will ALWAYS see his shadow? I mean, seriously he pops out of his home in the ground and is blinded by all the lights that are set up around this poor animal. Lights, equals shadows!
If you want my advice, simply pull out a calendar and look ahead to see when the first day of Spring actually is and then go about your daily business! Do you think that the folks get up early and head off to the groundhog hole with innocent anticipation, asking their fellow companions, "Do you really think he won't see his shadow this year?"
The way our "winter" has been with the mild weather, I don't believe that I would put any stock into the predictions of fur ridden critter!
Well that is my rambling for today! Stay tuned to see what else pops into my head! I do believe that creativity does indeed come from an overactive imagination! Step out of the norm, look at things from a different perspective, try on a different hat so to speak! Until next time, let your inner mind wander! Keep a sketch pad close! Never know what you will come up with!

Just a thought...
I have started a pinterest page. I have had so much fun pinning different things to my boards. It has got me thinking, however. Wouldn't it be a great thing if each skill or craft had their own version for reasons of going to one place to find all sorts of things that pertain to your specific craft or art form.
For instance it could be created in a similar fashion as pinterest and on the different boards could be new products, helpful hints, design ideas, inspirations, how-tos, suggestions for certain books and or videos, locations or people that teach classes, groups that get together, etc.
To be able to go to one spot to find all the answers would be so fantastic! I know that certain bead companies out there offer such things as I am suggesting, but they are biased based on the products that they carry or want to promote. This would be a collection of all things from many different places.
I could use my jewelry email and start this very thing perhaps on pinterest at first! Oh, I am onto something here! Hhhhmmmmmm!
Until the next wonderful thought (well they are to me :)) pops into my brain..... take care and try pinning! It is fun!
