Still here and with a flash back

I know I’ve been neglecting you all for ohhhh sooo long. Geez, I missed the whole month of January. Aside from the three kids…in two different schools and four extra curricular activities, the jewelry business and the feeble attempts at maintaining the house I have another project on my plate that has been monopolizing my attention. As some of you know I not only sell jewelry on my website but I occasionally participate in vendor shows.

Well now instead of waiting for the right show at the right place with timing that suits me… I’m co-organizing a vendor show with a friend of mine. In about a month from now, 40 local vendors will be coming together to sell their handmade crafts and art work
Myself included!

It’s been a wonderful learning experience and a great deal of fun to fine so many talented people and pull them all together. I’m sure it will be a great success for all of us but I didn’t want to just post (brag) about what I’m occupied with right now.
I thought it would be fun to share a blast from my past.

A week or so ago my Mom came over with this….



Finger Puppet Gloves!


A few decades ago, when she was in nursing school, I “helped” her with a class project (Ok, so I did it for her but I had fun doing it). I think it was for a pediatric class and she had to come up with some sort of toy for the patients in a hospital. I bought a cheap pair of garden gloves at the hardware store and used a bunch of acrylic paint and some embroidery floss. (I’m sure I had most of that on hand already. I have inherited a pack-rat gene somehow????

Anyway, I think I did ok showing ethnic diversity but I may not have been entirely politically correct. I might have gotten carried away with the American Indian??? Nonetheless, my kids have had a little fun playing with them.



I do have a few more ideas for some posts in the near future. I promise to do my best at not taking quit so long next time.

I hope you all are well and I’ll be around to visit your blogs soon. Miss ya!!!

Busy, busy, busy...

Sorry I haven’t been keeping up with making comments to my bloggy friends and for that matter I’ve been rather poor at updating my own blog posts.

I’ve been busy working on some new products for an event on Friday. I will be a vendor at the ITNS symposium. ITNS stands for International Transplant Nurses Society. They are a great group of nurses (and other professionals) who specialize in the area of organ and tissue transplants. It amazes me to sit and listen to what the speakers have to say. (I go every year).

Anyway, here’s a peek at just some of what has been keeping me away from the computer.






Amber and tiger's eye on a floating necklace...



These are the first things I have made in navey blue...












What a statement this snowflake obsidian makes on this triple strand necklace. I also made it in Rose quarts and Amethyst.








Some things in browns...


I love this Yaya inspired turquoise and burnt orange set...


I made this teal set for myself and another one for the show...



Here it is in Black....


Some floating Howlite...


Red, White or Blue....


A handfull of Earrings...


A few Purses...


And I'm almost ready to go.




This is an awareness bracelet for Organ and Tissue donation. I make other Awareness bracelets in other colors too. Green is the color to give life. If you haven’t already checked that box on your driver’s license, to be an organ donor, you might want to give it some thought. You could save a life. If you want to learn more, go see what the people over at CORE have to say.
