Well, it has been a very long time since I have updated this blog.
I have only been creating the odd piece of jewelry, or set of cards.  And even then, it has mostly been with a specific purpose.  Partially because of the business of being Mom to two busy boys, and partially because I now have my own part-time business.  I am a Group Leader with Steeped Tea and truly enjoying it.  It doesn't feel like work.
But, that said, I want to be creating more often, even if it is just one item every week or two.  I find making things with my hands fun and rewarding as there is always something there to see when I am done.
So, stay tuned.  Here we go again.

Cards tab updated

Hello, I've finally added some pictures of cards I have available.
More to come, as they are created.

Enjoy your day!

Available Jewelry

I am in the process of adding photos of jewelry I still have in stock.
Please select the Jewelry tab above to have a look and let me know if you see anything that interests you.

Enjoy your day!
(I will be updating the Cards page as well, hopefully later this week. Stay tuned.)

Working on a face-lift for this blog ... please be patient.

Thank you.

A little on the side ...

Okay, so life has been kinda crazy around here, but I suppose that is just how it is with children.
One of the reasons I have been busy though, is because a local company has started giving me orders for hand made birthday, thank you, get well, congratulations, etc cards.
They aren't all that fancy, as it is too time consuming to make each one a piece of art, but they have been happy with them so far.
Hopefully this will be something that continues on for a while, because the extra income is a great help.
Here are a few pics of what I've done ...

Not sure why this is sideways

Momma needs a new pair of shoes - So she's having a SALE

(Ok, I know it is a corny title, but it is true.)
As my youngest one gets a little older and I'm starting to get chunks of uninterrupted sleep, my head seems to be clearing and my list of To-Dos is getting longer and longer.  There are many things that I want to do around the house and yard (I'm so excited spring is around the corner) and I have a long list of crafts/creative projects I also want to do.
One of my To-Dos is to get back to making jewelry, even if it is only occasionally, as I really do enjoy it. Which takes me to the fact I still have quite a few pieces of jewelry to sell from when I was busy selling it before my youngest was born.  And I could really use the pocket money, for things like shoes ;) . And if no one knows what is available, no one can purchase them, right?  So, here are some pics of some of my jewelry creations.  (I'll try to get pics of the rest of it soon.)
