I am still around!

Yeah, it has been awhile since the last post, as many of you know Phil was away for the past week and a half. If you want to know where you can check here here this is the itinerary of the week while he was gone. Needless to say! I was busy with all the kids and not much blogging was done. Now it is time to update!
I had my first home show! It went much better than I expected! And I have a few other people interested in having a show! I can't wait!
Now on to bigger and better things, BEACH!!!
We went one day last week it was beautiful I would say it was a 10! And we ventured out again today! Another 10... A few more play dates this week and next. The kids are so excited about it! And well, so am I! It is just so much fun!
I have taken some great "sandy" picture! I will get them posted soon! I can't believe that it is almost the end of July, where has the summer gone? WE are trying to enjoy everyday to it's fullest!
Well, that is just a quick update! I promise as the days are less busy I will put more down but for now that is all that I have time for!

Here it is!

Well, here is the display for the jewelry. It isn't what I had originally been looking for, I wanted a "cottagy" feel (like that word?) to go with the name... I think that it does. I went into Home Depot looking for a miniature picket fence, BUT when you are looking for something specific you can never find it! So, I talked Phil into bringing me to Home Goods to find something to carry the necklaces in so that they didn't get all tangled together. SO, while I was in there... I thought about a table cloth to cover a surface, then I thought a cool napkin will add a splash of color! I found the napkins in the same colors as my business cards. It doesn't get much better... Or so I thought! I turned and stumbled upon these cool placemat that are made out of sticks. YEAH... Walking out of that aisle into the main aisle I looked at the dishes (like I always do, I have a thing for them.) I found these great relish trays(?) to display some of the extra beads that I will bring to my show with me! Within a matter of 5 minutes I had my whole display picked out! After spending quality time in Home Depot with the kids (all of them) Why didn't we go there first?
I have made a bunch of great new pieces! I can't wait to show them! Next week will be so much fun!! I still can't believe that I am going to have a party to show my jewelry. I never thought that I would have a little "cottage" business!
Leave a comment! Tell me what you think!

Brown and Pink, What do you think?

OK, so I was told that brown and pink were "hot" right now which I already knew but, didn't make anything in those colors until today... And why is that I am not sure at all! I did a bracelet and earrings set. So, give me your input! I am going to a new bead shop tomorrow! I can't wait! I will see what they have for brown and pink well. I am also going to make a brown and turquoise set like this one. I think that it will look pretty cool, I hope other people do too. This is a very time consuming set!

And... This is MY mothers bracelet, I have been told that I need to put it on here for people to see and get the idea of a mothers bracelet out there. I have made a bunch of these and most of them have been a single strand, I have only made 3 that are a triple strand. (check out the post on June 25, you will see a single strand one. And it is in gold, I have only made 3 of them in gold. Check out the heart shaped clasp that I used. I thought that the heart was a great way to show that it was for family.


Let me know what you think of this one, and for those of you that may read this and don't know me (if there are any), yes there are 6 stones for 6 kids! Enjoy!!!
How is that for a post on the jewelry? Haven't done much of these lately! Thanks for looking!
