I really have been busy lately, making jewelry for friends, filling custom orders, bead-weaving my little heart out! I will have more custom orders to show in the next few days, but I'm just showing you all this picture right now to give you an idea of the new pieces I've done recently with ribbon. I'm sort of proud of these items, because I really don't see other beaders making these types of necklaces, so I sort of consider it my "signature" piece, and other people seem to love them! I'll make one of these ribbon or leather necklaces in one color and suddenly I have orders for several more in different colors! But that's okay; this is appealing to my creative side and I LOVE it!

I hope you are all doing well, too! I have added a few more products to my website today so I hope you'll check them out!

Hi, Everyone! Well, St. Patrick's Day is upon us and my wonderful friend, Alyssa, has so graciously sent me a picture of her (wearing the necklace and earrings I made her for St. Patrick's Day) and she's hanging out with a couple adorable friends!

And in the meantime, I was also busy creating a custom baby afghan for another customer! This friend wanted a baby afghan made in bold primary colors for her little boy instead of the traditional pastels. After all, I have heard that babies see primary colors a lot easier, so this made perfect sense to me! I was more than happy to create this afghan to her specifications:

Here's a picture frame I decorated just using some craft stone chips and glue! The picture itself was taken by my husband when we visited Rocky Point, Mexico a few years ago.
