A new Stitch!

Used my Christmas gift money on pattern books, fun yarn and swirly plastic crochet hooks... lots of color on a very dark winter day!  Just figured out a new stitch too: a little more lacey than what I've been doing...

Just joined the Love Ambassadors! Love YOU!

Apothicary Madness

I'm really into making the apothecary bottles that everyone is into right now. The labels are fun to make, the bottles fun to find and its all very Halloween! Laura Carson has a great series of tutorials going on right now on her blog. There's also great labels at Alpha Stamps and some great rub-on's at Stampington. Shown here is my remake of an old label for your enjoyment. If you make something wonderful with it, please email me a picture! I'd love to see it!

Jewelry Swaps - Halloween & Earrings

Had a great Labor Day holiday with my friend Rhea, making jewelry for a few swaps on Swapbot.

Smash Journal

This is the journal I made for Swapbot DIY Smashbook. Lots of pockets in hidden flaps.

Earring fiesta!

Whipped up some earrings this evening in a few colors I'm missing...

Valentine's Day GItfy!

My sweetie got me jewelry components & chocolate for Valentine's! Now that's a great gift!

Yes, the chocolates have a kitten on them... he knows me so well!

Flower Barrettes

Trying out some barrette blanks... vintage beaded flowers and little tin roses both purchased from the Artist's Garage Sale coming next weekend to Kalamazoo!
