Just A BIG Hello!!

This great wood sign can be found on Etsy in Oh Dier.  I love what they have to offer!  Check out this shop!!

Hi!!  Been such a long time since I said anything on my blog, I thought I'd stop in a say a big "hello!"  Hope you're all doing well.  I've been busy making jewelry (I know...surprise, surprise!).  Here's a few things I haven't listed yet.

This is a cute little purse charm/ key chain/ backpack charm.  

For those of you that love a small earring and have been wanting white!

These are some pretty handmade lampwork beads I bought from a girl that makes them locally.

The lampwork bead that's the focal on this is made by the same lampwork artist as above.  I re-made this one.  Maybe this time I'll actually list it.  Anyone like it?

And this one I showed off on FB.  I love it!  But I'm not sure what other people will think.

So there you have it!  Short and sweet!  But a big hello anyway!! 

Have a wonderful Thursday!

Cozumel 2012

We returned home from a very nice trip with friends to Cozumel on Sunday.  Here are a few photos of our trip.  We didn't do much but lay around, relax and read!  My kind of vacation!!

Some boats in the Caribbean.  I love the water!

One of the deck areas on the ocean.  We were sitting down here.

Isn't this cool?  Flows into the main pool within the resort.  Although there are 3 pools in this resort, we spent most of our time around this pool.  The other two are infinity pools that overlook the sea (and the the cruise ships.  They dock right there!  :p)

Another view of the main pool.  You're looking at the swim up bar in the background.  And the building in back of it is the one we were in.

These little guys were all over the place.  Good thing they're harmless!  

Downtown San Miguel.  I love these horse drawn carriages.

Great colorful sculptures that we saw all along the Malacon in San Miguel.  Notice another cruise ship in the background!  I've never seen so many!

This was actually a wall mural in the Mexican restaurant.  I thought it was quite pretty and unusual.  It's actually in  3D.

This is the main dining room where we ate every day.  I was sitting in a lounge chair when I took this.  I was too sick to get up.  Yep....I got sick for a whole day.  Spent most of it in my room.

As you can see, I didn't take many photos.  Wasn't in the mood and we've been there before so didn't feel the need either.  But it was a nice place with very nice people.  Clean!!!  Pleasant!!!  

Thanks for going on this little tour with me!

Have a great Tuesday!

I Can Only Show Off

I have so many items in my shop right now that I don't want to spend any more money to list more.  So I thought I'd just show you all of my new and see what you think.  I appreciate your input.

A lot of earrings huh?  I can't help it.  I love to make them!

Enjoy your day and your weekend!

New Creations

I know I don't blog much.  Lack of time and motivation on my part.  But I have been busy creating a bit.  Here are a few things that I recently finished.  Hope you like them.

Little by little, I hope to get these listed soon.  If you want any of them, let me know and I'll reserve them for you.

Thanks for looking and for your comments.

I've Had The Blah's!

For the last few days I'v"e been beating off the blahs.  Ever get them?  I felt like something was trying to take over my body and I was refusing to let it happen!!  Well, as it turns out, and it usually does, I was experiencing "change in weather" symptoms.  My hubby was sick for such a long time...I think I'm paranoid!!!

Well, I was bored and made a few pairs of earrings.  This is just a preview of one of those pairs.  You'll see the rest when I list them.

Have a wonderful Friday and weekend too!!

Preview Day

Just another Sunday here.  Not much going on.  Same old, same old.  But I have been keeping busy creating new jewelry.  So here it is.  Please let me know what you think.

I'm unsure of the appeal of these, but they're made with antique copper and dark green pearl disk beads.  Is there anything interesting about them, or should I think about re-styling them?

These are simple.  Silver faceted glass beads with silver glass pearls.  Basic silver earring.  Small but a bit elegant too.  What do you think?  Appeal?

If any of you are on Facebook, you may have already seen this one.  I haven't listed it yet, but I love the simplicity of it.  It goes with everything.

This bracelet is the sister of another one in my shop.  The difference is that this one has lapis beads in it.  The turquoise in the focal bead are real turquoise chips.  It also has lapis chips and coral chips in it.   I love those Tibetan beads, don't you?

This necklace is new.  I used Mexican zebra jasper as the beads.  I like it, but what do you think?

These earrings are really feminine!!  The pink focal beads are Czech glass.  I love them!  I added the glass pearls for interest.  What do you think?

This purse charm/ zipper pull/ key chain is a real "hoot" isn't it?  I loved these charms when I got them in the mail the other day and couldn't wait to make something with them.  Do you like?

I found these leaf beads in a local bead store the other day and just had to have them!!  I could picture a bracelet just like this!  The yellow beads are actually yellow jade and the bracelet is sterling silver.  I used silver plated head pins on these though.  What do you think of it?

And last, but certainly not least are these chandelier earrings I made yesterday.  I used antique copper connectors and added copper colored glass pearls and soft yellow that complement them well.  These are long earrings for those of you that love big.  Hopefully someone will love these too.

That's it for the preview.  Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment so I know what you think.  Thanks!!

Have a great Sunday!
