Silver Leaf Jasper Earrings

Here is a set of earrings that will match the Silver Jasper Necklace. Now I am working on ring designs. That has been a little more difficult because the only 1 strand of wire will go into the bead hole, but I need more strands to make a sturdy ring. I'm still working on it!!

THE Bead Show!!

Hi All!

This past weekend I went to the Twin Cities and spent some time at the Mall of America. It was a Scrapfest Weekend at the mall. I'm not into scrapbooking, but two of my sisters are, so we met up there. At the hotel, there were rooms reserved for everyone to scrap. My two sisters scrapped, while I worked on a beaded ring. It was fun just getting together, chatting, scrapping, and beading. My son got to swim with his cousins and uncle, so everything was good.

On Sunday, Rings-n-Things had a wholesale show in the hotel. It was the first bead show I had been to and boy was it fun. (Later I'll explain why I have all these "firsts"....first bead show, first craft show, first bead shop, etc) Here are the things I came home with.



I will be spending the next few weeks working with these beads and making as much as I can. My specialty lately has been rings, so look forward to my placing more rings on my etsy site.

If you see some stones you would like to see made into something specific, let me know. I am open to creating somehting for you!!

Thanks for reading!!

Carnelian Rings

Here are some of the latest rings that I've made to sell on my etsy site. These are really fun rings to make and I'm so impressed with the Carnelian stones I've made them with. There is such depth to the rings. You can look inside them and rings and dots and layers. It is soo cool.

So last weekend I had the craft show. Which I made some money on, and now I'm going to go spend that money!! There is a www.rings-things.com wholesale show this weekend that I'm going to go to. I'm so excited. This will be the first time to go to something like this. I'll let you know what is was like when I get back on Sunday.

Have a good weekend everyone!

My Best Show!

OK, For those of you who don't know me in person, sarcasm is somewhat a way of life for me. It was my "best" show, but really it was my second show, so there wasn't a lot to measure up to.

The day started out raining. Not storming, but a nice rain. When my dad, my son, and I pulled into the show, the rain had stopped. We got the awning up, and I started placing my jewelry on the table. This was a "Music and Arts Festival". My dad left at that time. I'm not sure that he wanted to be seen at an "Arts" event. But he was very helpful putting up the awning, so I did not complain. He even drove back to his house and got the card table that I forgot, so he was a big help.

Throughout the day, it rained on and off, but there was a slow but steady stream of people past my spot. (It was on the way to the bathroom, so several people stopped a few times on their way over there.) I think some even purchased some things on the second or third trip past my spot.

I was very happy with the show. I made more than the entrance fee and had a very good time!! I got to make a custom ring, and a custom dangle. both people were very appreciative of my efforts, so that made me happy.

I will try to get the picture of my spot posted soon. My batteries are almost dead so hopefully I can get the pictures off before the batteries go dead...

Talk to everyone later!!

I'm in a Craft show...

On Sunday I am going to be in the Alma Arts and Crafts Show in Alma, Wisconsin. I've been in one other show and that was more of a flea market. So I have high hopes for this one, WELL, actually, I want to make a little more than my entrance fee. That would really be good.

It would be even better if I could make more because there is a Rings N Things show next weekend and it would be nice to get some more supplies. But I will not hold my breathe.

So wish me luck!! I'll talk to everyone later!!
