A change in plans....

I've been doing this blog for about a month now and have figured out that as much as I love making jewelry it is a small part of my life and there isn't enough to blog about on a regular basis.
So, this is going to be about everything and anything in my life including ETSY and my jewelry. I hope you enjoy it even more!
This blogging thing is pretty fun!!

Take care and visit often!

Tip of the day, week, month or whenever I get around to putting up a new one........

New tip....
A great way to keep your jewelry from tarnishing is available on QVC.com. They have a lot of different organizers to store your jewelry but my favorite is the PreZerve fashion jewelry organizer. One of my very good friends bought me one of these last year and I love it! It has about 30 compartments and has a special material that keeps your sterling silver from tarnishing.
My mom has a great way of storing her bracelets and necklaces. She put a cork board up on her bedroom wall and hangs her jewelry on that with tacks. Everything hangs nice with out getting tangeled and it's easy to choose what to wear because it's all right there! Another great storage device for bracelets is a coffee mug holder that stands on a table and has little poles sticking out to hang a mug on. You could probably get one cheap at the salvation army store.

Happy Labor Day

Happy Labor Day all!
I'm just trying to wake up a bit before I do my "Walk away the pounds" workout. I've definatly noticed a difference in my muscle tone lately which keeps me motivated! We're going to Great Wolf Lodge next weekend and I'm thinking I'll look OK in my bathing suit.
So, I've started silver fusing and it's very exciting! It was impossible to find fine silver wire any where in my area so I bought some on eBay. I started with 18 gauge which is a little thin for what I want to do so I'm ordering some 14 gauge, but I'm sure I'll come up with something to do with the 18 gauge! For those of you that don't know, you have to use fine silver wire not just sterling silver.
I've also made some polymer clay beads this week and plan to put them in a new bracelet ASAP. Working with polymer clay has been more fun than I expected and it's very easy to be wildly creative with all the colors to choose from!
So tomorrow the squirrels go back to school and I'll have some extra time to really get going on some new designs! Not that I'm looking forward to school starting! :) What mom of two preteen girls would say that!!! ;)
Have a safe and happy holiday!
