It has been almost a year since I have updated my blog here! Wow, where does time go? It seems the older and older I get, the faster and faster time goes!

This has been a busy and exciting year, I started a new business creating custom cut paper products for other small jewelry businesses, items include custom earring cards and thank you tags! My business grow so fast that I needed to bring in a business partner to take over 50% of the work. So it has been an exciting year! I am finally able to devote more time to my jewelry and creativity.

Also keeping me busy is my super active 3 1/2 year old son, we have had a busy summer exploring and having fun! Along with keeping my little one busy I am now almost 20 weeks pregnant with our second baby! (we will find out the sex of the baby in a few days!)

Just wanted to post a quick update to let my customers know I am still here, and still making jewelry and feeling more inspired then ever right now!

At the end of last Fall I found these great carved stone beads (Jasper I believe) that looked just like pumpkins and Fall gourds. I decided it was time to start making for Halloween and Fall and had a fun filled evening making 13 pairs of earrings! I used a mix of colors and everything from sterling silver, to gold and silver plated and warm copper! Here are a few from last night:

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend, celebrating our independence and being with friends and family! We had a wonderful BBQ with my parents and a quiet weekend at home. Friday I was lucky enough to hit a sale for some great new furniture for my beading/craft area! I feel so much more organized now and have ample space for new beads!

I spent many long hours Friday night setting this all up, so come today, Sunday I was able to relax and make my first new pieces in my great cozy work space! CLICK ON THE PHOTOS FOR LARGER VIEW
