I really need to update my blog more often. I am helping coach my daughter in softball and my husband is assistant coach for my son's team. We are super busy...

I was excited to receive a copy of Bead Trends Magazine in the mail today. I have a bracelet featured on page 56. "Industrial Ocean". I submitted this months ago and actually forgot about it. Get a copy and check it out!

Wow, I was excited to discover that my wire link bracelet publised in Step By Step Wire in 2005 is in the Interweave Press Beading Daily online store. Here is the link : http://shop.interweave.com/Wire-Link-Bracelet-P436C0.aspx

I know, it has been awhile since my last post. I had a gallery make a nice size purchase on some custom earrings, bracelets and pendants. I have been super busy here with yardwork, graduations, birthdays and kids being home. Dominic made allstars for baseball which will carry on until August! He also started flag football yesterday. I guess no vacations for us this year. Anyway, I was finally able to get a few thing made for the Ruby Lane shop. Have a safe and happy summer!

I just posted 2 new items in my Ruby Lane shop today. I have been sick for the entire last week, so I haven't made or posted any new items. I think it was viral. My strep test was negative and I had a nasty sore throat, chills, fever (lasted 4 days) , aches. I got a couple things done today as it is raining here again! This "Shoreline" bracelet reminds me of my "Reef" bracelets I made last year.

Finally, some nice weather. I took a picture of the pond view from my master bedroom. I take the kids there all summer to fish and catch frogs and turtles. This year 2 geese and 2 ducks have found their way to it. I will watch to see if they return next year.

Be sure to stop by Ruby Lane, as I am always adding new items! Happy Spring.

Hi! It has been forever since my last post. It is freezing here and the kids are home from school for day 3 due to weather. I am listing a new piece on Ruby Lane soon. Check it out, a great piece for Spring.

Hello,

Well, the Harvey Firestone Festival was not a huge success this year. Attendance was way down, it was super hot, and the Columbiana fair was this week. All these factors really hurt the show. Some vendors were packing up and leaving 2 hours early! On a positive note, I won a prize in the fine craft category. I got a second place ribbon and $50 cash prize for my hand-forged metal and wire "Candyland" bracelet. First place went to a guy who made some really cool pottery, he won $100. I need to get cracking on some more pieces, my inventory is low right now and I have 2 more shows booked for fall!!

I took a picture of our fish tank today. The kids put every plant and rock that we had in this thing! It is 55 gallon and has about 16 fish right now. We love having it, but they are a pain to clean.

Check out my newest bangle in my Ruby Lane shop, Silver Lining.

Hello everyone, I have been busy with the kids setting up our fish tank. Since the move it has been in the basement. I will try to get a pic and post later for you to see. I just listed "Thai Petals" earrings and bracelet in my Ruby Lane shop. Check it out!

Hello, it has been a few days since I posted. Still really busy with parties, kids and getting ready for my show on the 4th. I wanted to show you a picture of our dog Sammy. We got him for free when he was a pup at a local flea market. The original owners named him Sammy. My husband wanted something a little more masculine like "Hawk", but the kids insisted on keeping the original name. He is a little over a year now. The stuff on the ground is one of the kids toys that he chewed. He will chew anything he can get a hold of! He is a runner too! We live out were most people have at least 2 acres. When the kids leave the door open, he darts out and takes off all over the neighborhood where there are corn fields, soy field, apple orchard etc. He always comes back though.

Oh well, I better get moving and post my new set in my Ruby Lane shop now. Be sure to take a peek. It is called Fall Foilage, pretty colored set!

Well, we have another 4th of July party to attend tonight, so I listed this bracelet early today. Check out "Rocks" in my Ruby Lane shop. Pretty stones!

It's been hectic here lately but I was able to get a pretty bracelet listed today in my Ruby Lane Shop. Check it out!

This is my first official blog! I am still creating jewelry, just slowed down a bit because all the "Kids" are home for the summer. That includes my husband who is a special education teacher and varsity football coach. The house is always in chaos when they are all here.

I am listing "Circlets" on Ruby Lane tonight. Much work on this one, stamping, filing, drilling, polishing, drilling, wire work etc......

We are in the process of building an extra garage and it is taking longer than we expected. We have only been in the house for a year and a half and we already need more room for "stuff". Sheesh, it never ends does it?
