Snow...lots of snow...

I know I am not alone in saying this...I really want a snow day tomorrow. We are supposed to get hit pretty bad, and it was snowing a lot earlier (so fingers crossed!).

I have made a lot of earrings lately, making more ear wires for the earrings that I have already made. I will try and take some pictures of them to share :)

Other than that I have been busy with the start of second semester, homework, meetings and work has pretty much filled all of my time. It is all worth it though.

Part 3 of Update: Random Awesomeness

The last two posts were more organized, this one will be a little more random, but awesome.
A friend of mine at school took some really great pictures of my jewelry, and here are some of my favorites:

 

 

I still have to figure out how to make them into the normal picture format, so when I do I will post more....

I was very fortunate this Christmas, I got a gift that I had been wanting for awhile....a Durston rolling mill :) I was very happy and thankful when I got it on Christmas morning. I haven't been able to use it yet though, because I need to find a place to put it...but as soon as I do I will make lots of new pieces. :)

I am not a fan of winter, especially the snow part. I would much rather be walking on the beach, then walking through the snow. Snow days are fun, but not fun when they interfere with plans or cause power outages. Thankfully the recent snow storms haven't interfered with anything, and I'm hoping that any other storms that are coming continue to be like that.

My break is going by pretty fast, I will be back at school in less than 2 weeks. I did well last semester, and I am hoping that I am going to continue with it next semester. Two of my classes next semester are nursing classes and they require that I take a test called the ATI. ATIs are worth 25% of my grade in the class, so it is very important that I am ready for the test, but thankfully I have all semester to prepare myself for it. It is definitely a little nerve wracking though.

Back when I was in school, my friend and I ordered Chinese food for a study night, and both of my fortune cookies were great. They were:
"Don't be afraid to take a chance when the opportunity of a lifetime appears." and
"Pray for what you want, but work for the things you need."
Probably the best fortunes that I have ever gotten from a cookie.

I think that is all I wanted to talk about, but who knows there might be a part 4 :) you will just have to wait and see.

Part 2 of Update: Last Best Craft Fair

The week after my mom's show, I had a show at my old elementary school. It was the first time that I had participated in the Last Best Craft Fair, and it was a good and successful experience to do it. I stayed up late the night before the show because I did not think that I had enough stuff, but it probably was not necessary because when I was setting it up with my mom, my tables were easily filled up.

My mom made me this to match my business cards. I love it :)

Lots of pearls, and lots of silver, a combination I really like.

My poppy set :) I still need to make a pendant and dangle earrings to match though.

See all of the those bracelets on the display....I had two full displays of them. Stretchy bracelets were what I did when I first started making jewelry, and if you couldn't tell, I really liked to make them...

Over 100 glass pendants, I really do love making them because I never know how they will exactly turn out, and no two are the same, even if I try really hard to make them to match.

Thank you to everyone that came to the show, I really appreciate it. I had a lot of fun at the show! :)

Part 1 of Update: Treasures & Trinkets

As I mentioned before my mom, Treasures & Trinkets, had a show after Thanksgiving in Orleans. I helped her out during the show, which I have been doing for a couple of years.
Here are some pictures from the show:

The rocks are drilled with a knitting needle...

These are just some of the many pins she has made, in every color you can imagine.

This was a successful show for my mom, and I was glad to be able to help out. Her jewelry is right next to mine at the Jewel Box :)

A BIG update is in order

However, I still need to upload pictures on my computer....
The update will consist of:
My mom's show
My show
random fun things that I feel like mentioning
and lots of pictures!


So the update will be next year (aka tomorrow), it will be worth the wait :)

I also will be showing the awesome present I got for Christmas! :)

Hope everyone had a great holiday! :)

Happy New Year!!

Less than 2 days!

My show is in less than 2 days, I can't believe that it is so soon! I have been trying to make as much as I can, but unfortunately I haven't been able to make as much as I would have liked. School is coming to a close for the semester, so there is a lot of work that I have to get done within the next couple of weeks.
Come check out what I do have done at the show, this Saturday December 4th, at the Henry T. Wing School in Sandwich MA. The show is from 10-3 :) I am in the Multi-Purpose room, booth #12!

Hope to see you there!

Shows and updates!

On Friday November 26th (today!) and Saturday November 27th, my mom (Treasures & Trinkets) will be participating in the Artisans' Guild of Cape Cod show in Orleans. I will be there both days to help her out :) She makes polymer clay jewelry, and I will post pictures of some of her stuff soon! I would definitely recommend coming to the show if you can, in addition to my mom there are some really talented artists participating in the show!

I am currently home on Thanksgiving break (yay!), so I have been working hard to make sure I have enough jewelry made for my show,the Last Best Craft Fair, which is December 4th at the Henry T Wing school. The show has creeped up a little bit on me, because of the fact that I have been in school and haven't been able to focus on jewelry as much as I would like to.

I will keep you updated with any more information/pictures! :)
