Here ya go! A few new pieces to temp you with =) The Necklace to the left is called "Orbits". This gorgeous piece features nine stunning Boro Disc beads created by Daniel Echeverry (BDBD Beads). There are also mocha Shell coins, big beautiful Swarovski rounds in two colors, Swarovski pearls, tiny rose & copper lentils, and hand forged Sterling coils. All beads are hand wire wrapped on handmade ball end Sterling headpins. The 2mm Sterling Rollo chain is a perfect compliment. Topped off as always with one of my Freestyle clasps. This piece measures 19" in length, but wears more like a 17" Necklace.

Here is the first piece in my new 'Mix/Ups' Collection. The Lampwork is by the great Deborah Burch (Contessa) and is surrounded by tiny rose and copper lentils. This Pendant measures 1 7/8" total length. The bail is large enough to fit up to a 4mm chain. As always all silver is Sterling. I just love how this piece hangs with the delicate glass lentils falling just above the matching Lampwork bead.

And... here is the second piece in my new collection. This one is titled 'Seaside Flowers'. The stunning Lampwork floral was created by Gina Jeans (Raisin Mountain). Also featured are tiny grass green Lentils, Shell round & coin, Turquoise Jade coin with a tiny swarovski crystal balanced inside, and Swarovki rounds. All silver is Sterling and the total length is 1 1/2". The bail will fit up to a 4mm chain. All dangles are hand wire wrapped on handmade ball end Stering headpins. This is a great summer addition to your wardrobe!

These pieces will be added to the site this week. In the meantime if you just have to have one, drop me an email!

New Pieces coming today...

Hi guys! Well I am off to take photos of some great new pieces. I created an awesome Necklace last night I think you will just love! And those much wanted "Mix/Up" Pendants too. Betcha thought I forgot about those. I haven't come up with a Bracelet design that I liked for those yet but the Pendants are ready to go. Check back later this afternoon I am off to take photos...

We have puppies!

Hi all! Well here are Bunny's babies. Four little sexy men!!! Mom and babies are doing great, they were born on Thursday evening. Miss Bunny suprised me with them, I thought for sure she would have held on to them at least until Sunday. Everyones little personalities are already coming out too. The blue boy (far Left) is the bully he likes to growl whenever I kiss him the little snot! Then we have the smallest one who is a doll and will kiss your nose. Next to him are the twins one has a little more black on one leg, they are mellow. Bunny decided that her 6 day old puppies needed toys yesterday so she brought them her favorites. She is such a funny mom.

I start my new job on Monday. It should be fun once I get in the grove of things. And I hope to get to play this weekend with some new Jewelry designs I have.

So how much is gas where you live??? The highest I have seen around here is $3.77!!! Can we say a tad overpriced. Just two months ago it cost me $34.00 to fill my tank now its around $70. I am thinking about starting a layaway policy for my Customers. This way you can still secure and get the pieces you want, but make payments. Let me know if that is something that you would all be interested in.

Well its a gorgeous day and I feel the need to be outside...

Did ya see it!!!!

Was everyone good little girls and boys and watched their Deadliest Catch last night??? They never cease to amaze me with the pranks they pull, the truck was the greatest. I laughed so hard I fell over.
Ok I know your probably wondering gee wasn't Katie a Jewelry Designer at one time??? This sounds like a fishing blog... I haven't worked on the rest of the new Collection I've had to get ready for my "Bunny's" puppies and my new job. Hopefully this weekend while I am on puppy watch I will be able to play with some beadies. Funny Bunny is due the beginning of next week. She goes in Friday morning for her xray to see how many little ones she will be having. I am guessing 3-4. First and foremost we hope she is ok and her babies are ok. Well I will check back Friday with how many baby bunnies we will be having...

Mix/Ups...

Hi guys! Did everyone enjoy all that crab fishing this weekend???? I know I did the new season starts tonight!!! I cannot wait. Well here is a little sneak peek of my newest Collection "Mix/Ups". I am going to get some more photos of them hanging to show how all of the dangles lay. I just adore them! Strung on a simple chain they add such a nice impact. I am working on creating a Bracelet design to match and some Earrings too. Be sure to drop me a line and let me know what you think...

Crabby Weekend...

Hi guys! Who else here loves Deadliest Catch???? Whahoo a whole weekend of crabbies... See you next week.

Ornament Peek...

Here is half of one of my designs. This is a tiny ball not your regular size. I love to design for all sizes. Well I fiddled with one of the designs in my sketchbook yesterday and came up with a new Collection I am calling 'Mix/Ups'. I have two pendants finished in this set so far. I want to throw together some earrings and a bracelet or two before I debut this exciting new design. I also want to Thank you all for all of you wonderful comments on my latest Project in SBS Wire. If you do make that Necklace or any of my published designs, send me a photo and your info and I will be starting a Gallery on my site for your work.

I am feeling a little yucky today so I am off to rest up.

Let The Clean-up Begin!

~:: Update::~ New Collection called "Mix/Ups" coming by the end of the week!!

Time to start cleaning up outside. Man it was almost 70 out yesterday!!! Crazy, wonderful weather. I tried to rake a little yesterday but was quickly reminded that I still have bronchitis. I will take it slower today. Last week I picked up a few neat storage containers for my beadies so I will stay in and organize. Who knows maybe I might try some new designs I have brewing in my sketchbook...

Sneaky Peeky...

Hi guys! Well I have been sicker then ever these past two weeks with bronchitis. My dads little girl Sadie also has it, 4 had coughs, and BBQ had a hypoglycemic attack today. My dads had the flu for two weeks and my moms pain hasn't been dong that great, but the huge news is they both quit smoking!!!!! I cannot tell you how proud I am of them! We now live in a smoke free house!

In beady news... the photo above is a tiny peek at one of my diagrams I have been working on for my book proposal. It may not look like much, but that little guy took me hours and hours to create. I have one more to create diagrams for and take photos of. But the bones of my proposal are finished. Its so wild to think I might be writing a book! And I do have tons of ideas for more Jewelry in my sketchbook. By the end of this month I hope to unviel a really neat one.

I have to run and take care of doggys and myself, Tuesday I have a working interview for a Veterinary Clinic up here. Wish me luck...

Under the Weather...

Hi guys! I am just checking in to let you know I have been sicker then ever the past almost two weeks. I will check back hopefully tomorrow with something new.
