for your ears only

here are a few of my new favorites. earrings are so fun to make because they are quick and easy and fun to make different designs with. i love the circles because they are made of wood with a bead in the middle so they are light as a feather. so much fun for summer! (ok- suzana and joanna, take your pick!)

beads n stuff

my friend really got me into going to the bead show in seattle. she make amazing jewelry! so i went. and it was incredible! here's a few things i made from going to it. they already got sent out to a couple of lucky recipients... but man, they are tempting me to start wearing earrings. as for you people who want the shoe pattern, i am going to try to post a tutorial on this blog.... but that might take some time to figure out. it really shouldn't since i have a computer savvy husband, but he doesn't come cheap, and his employer pays more than i do.... (just kidding!) also, i am going to do a drawing for a pair of baby shoes on April 16. who wouldn't want something free on that day??? for now, i've got to go get serious with my sewing machine while i can.... i have a 'self-inflicted' deadline in 5 days that i haven't even started! more on that later!

more more more!

lately i have been so inspired while reading other's craft blogs. so i have been trying to do as much in a day as i can to get through all the projects i want to while i am still motivated. i made macy a darling dress this week, only to put it on her and have it dragging on the floor. oh well. it's very summery, so it can wait. i also started a long awaited skirt for myself. but that got put on the backburner when i decided to change the style of it once again. i also tried making some more unique jewelry, but that will take some tweaking.
i am so excited because i put stuff in my etsy shop and had my first sale! i am planning on putting more and more things as i have more and more ideas. the list is actually quite long, it's just a matter of doing everything i want to! my favorite item in my shop so far would have to be this funky necklace. it looks so cute on with the flower off-centered! more later...
