Fun Stuff

I've have been completely remiss in actually taking pictures of things I've been making. So, here is some of the jewelry I've been making.

I have been wanting to make a necklace to go with my big button bracelet. I love it. It's super long and a lot of fun!


Sweet Tweets! I really like these earrings. They turned out super cute.


Classic Black and White. I am always in need of good black and white earrings, and these are perfect.






These earrings are some that I made for my one friend who entered my giveaway on my other blog. There is still space for 4 more winners... You can click here if you want to enter. Here's the deal. The first four people to comment, don't even have to re-post - I will just make you something and send it to you.

I absolutely LOVE these dice earrings...and so do a lot of people. Of all the earrings I have made I get the most comments and compliments about these. They are so simple, but a lot of fun, and extremely darling.

I just like these. I created the loop beneath the earrings with sterling silver and added the beads.


These earrings could have a post of their own. I originally made these two years ago at the first "annual girls get together," and they were great. They were just a little different, but the first time I wore them I broke them. Lame, I know. It was my fault. Anyway, I tried making them two more times, and finally ended up with these - I love them! And this time, I won't break them :)

Happy Birthday!

I made a really fantastic birthday present for my mother (if I do say so myself!)

Here is what I did:

I was trying to allude to springtime flowers...but with earrings....do you get it? :) I decopauged the fabric onto a small glass vase I had lying around my craft room that I have been wanting to do something creative with. I love the way it turned out. I was sad to see it go. But, it was actually a trial run for a much larger vase that I have the intention of doing the same thing with.

As for the earrings...I love the way each of them turned out. I wanted to try something new with big buttons, and I think the yellow ones turned out fantastic. And I just love the orange earrings. I didn't take a picture of the third pair of earrings because they are just a simple green jade circle. I think I am going to have to make a pair of each of them for myself.

Anyway, I do have some more projects that I have recently finished including a scripture case as well as a really REALLY cute card. I'll try to get some pictures up soon. But don't hold your breath, it probably won't happen very soon - let's be honest :)

I'm still making stuff!

I have been so busy with school and work and other things that I have seriously neglected this blog.


Here are some pictures of the ornaments I made for Christmas this year. They turned out really cute, and I was very pleased with them.

A bunch of the ornaments. They are all made of paper and ribbon.

Hanging on the Tree.

I have also been working on some digital scrapbooking recently. It is actually what I have spent most of my free time working on. I have enjoyed using this system, but it was a little more time consuming than I expected. Still, I was able to create some really fabulous books and also some super cute calendars for my parents and in-laws for Christmas. Here are some previews of what I've done.

(**I removed the links for the calendars because they were not playing nicely with my blog.)

So that's what has been keeping me busy! I am hoping to spend some more time on making jewelry over the next few months, but it'll be hard because I am definitely going to be busy.

New Necklace

I made myself a necklace from a bunch of stones that I had. I really like it. It's long and goes with everything! :)

Pink Pearls

I've had a couple requests for earrings recently, so here are some of the things I've come up with.

These are very similar to another pair of earrings that I made for myself. My co-worker saw them and said she wanted the same pair for her mother, only in pink. And this is how they turned out.

I made this pair for myself from the same set of pearls. I bought a whole strand of these while at the bead show in Vegas a few weeks ago, and I have been having a lot of fun with them.

This final pair I made for one of my bosses. He saw the earrings I made for my co-worker and then the earrings I made for myself and decided that he needed a pair for his wife as well.

I am overall really happy with the way all of these turned out. I think I am going to have to make myself a pair similar to the ones I made for my boss, because they are quite fabulous--if I do say so myself.

Pink and Black

And so...here is a picture of some earrings I made myself this weekend. I have these fabulous pink and black beads that my mother gave me a while ago (the spiked ones), and I have been trying so hard to come up with some cool earrings and I think I succeeded. I like them at least. They are long, but still quite nice.

Enjoy!

Mother's Day and other cute things

So, I have made a really cute pair of earrings recently. I am really happy with the way they turned out.



They are cute, Springy earrings. I can wear them with almost anything! I also made the ear wires.



Of course, I had to show them off to my family (that's just what we do! :) When I showed them to my mother, she absolutely loved them and insisted that I make her a pair. It's a good thing that Mother's Day was coming up--now I had something I could make for her! So here is the pair I made for her....

They are pretty much the same ones I made myself, just a different color scheme. I really liked the way these turned out. They were very easy to make a second time. I didn't have any problems with them.



And here is a picture of both of them hanging. They are pretty darn cute, if you ask me! :)

Well, I just thought I would share my most recent creations! I hope you enjoyed!
