Getting CRAZY busy for the holidays already -

and...that makes me really happy!


I have added a few new things.  I now have a Chanukah childrens bracelet and a new snowman bracelet in several different colors that I'm only going to be offering on Ebay and Etsy.  A few new bottle caps have been created also snowmen in different colors which are being offered on my website.

I've also added a holiday album to my Facebook page so all the holiday items are available to see in one place.  You can have a peek here (rather than having me post all the pictures here for you.)

Here are pictures of all the new goodies though :)

Have a great Thanksgiving!

The Yankees WIN!????

It's that time of year again and being in Fairfield county, the Yankees are everywhere.  I had a request to create a Yankee bracelet.  I have no idea why I never thought of this before.  So, since I am completely unable to just keep it simple, I got the whole series done.  Here are the charm bracelet, the kid's bracelet, wine charms and stitch markers.

I also had another request for a Girl Scout Cookie bracelet.  Since I already have a Girl Scout themed set.  I just did the bracelet.

What do you do with a scurvy pirate?

I'm in the process of adding a 2 new themes to my stock - Pirate and fall orchard themes.  Here's a sneak peek for you!

Here are the pirate items:

 I've also been working on some star jars (or wish jars).  These are basically just jars filled with tiny origami stars.  They're really fun and easy to make and it's amazing how many you can load into a jar.  The large jar is made with papers from an old wallpaper book,  There are over 200 stars in that one.  The smaller jars are done with wrapping paper and scrap book paper and each of those has at least 25 stars.

Many Many Changes - So let's do a givaway!

I have been busy updating and upgrading the website.  It's mush easier to navigate now and I've added new items.


There are TONS of new earrings and I've added simple adult bracelets to the mix.  You can now choose any of my previously childrens bracelets in an adult size for $14.99.  Go have a look!

So, now for the giveaway:

Another Busy Week

I have been busy again this week.  I finally got the Day of the Dead rosary done plus a few other things including some more chainmaille. 

My shipment of rings arrived from Canada so I was very excited to play with a new idea.  I'm doing byzantine bracelets in school or team colors.  For right now, I think I'm only going to have them listed on Ebay and Etsy.  I'll see how it goes there and maybe add them to the website late.

Here are the latest pictures:

Glass Butterfly Bracelet

Byzantine Titanium Choker and a closeup of it

It's getting to be that time of year

It's coming upon the Renaissance Faire Season 

and look what I have for you

I pulled out all my chainmaille supplies (and ordered a few more that are on their way to me via camel from my supplier in Canada)

I've got a few pieces done and ideas for a bunch more.

Butterfly Choker in Aluminum - it's lightweight and comfortable - it' looks like silver but without the high price tag and doesn't tarnish.

Titanium Choker done in really tiny rings with little pink stars

Byzantine Bracelet done in white polished aluminum

I love this one - I call it Trapped in Blue - It's anodized gold aluminum with blue anodized aluminum trapped inside.  It has a semi Egyptian look.

I did this one for my daughter in her school colors- I ordered more anodized aluminum rings in a rainbow of colors so I can do custom order color combinations.

This one is a combination of natural titanuim and anodized niobium trapped pink rings

The last one for tonight is an anklet that I did by request for a FB friend that I met through Mikeysmail.  She loved the Butterfly Choker and asked if I could do something similar as an anklet.  I scaled it down with those TINY titanuim rings and here is the result:
