I'm thinking summer already!

We had some really nice weather here in Rhode Island a couple of weeks ago. I think it was in the low 60's for one or two days. Well, that was enoungh for me! Even though we're back down in the 20's and 30's , I can't help but to pull out the bright colors, shell beads and thinking I'm going to be taking outdoor pictures in the very near future. Here's a few of my recent designs with some still in the works. If you see anything you like, they will be listed on my Etsy site by the end of the day(if they aren't already).

New spring designs!

It was so nice out here in Rhode Island on Wednesday that I was inspired to make these spring pieces. It was almost 60 degrees that day and you would have thought it was mid August by the people out in their yards, walking dogs and in line at the car wash up the street! It was just a tease though because today it's back down in the thirties and quite chilly. I managed to stay working in my office long enough to get these and a few more pieces made and I felt like I really accomplished something. I hope the design ideas keep coming!

Goal for today

Good Sunday morning everyone. My goal for today is to go through every supply I have to see what I could possibly get rid of along with finding out what I truly need. I've been making jewelry for quite a few years and to think I started with one little bag of supplies that I could carry around wherever I went! I used to bring that bag to my sons baseball practices when they were 9 years old and have everything laid out on the benches around me. I didn't want to miss the practices but I couldn't be without the jewelry either! I'm a bit more focused with it all at this point, which means that I don't go to too many practices because the boys are juniors in high school and I don't think the mommy's are supposed to be there to watch all that stuff! So I'm off to purge. Have a great day everyone!
