New Sterling Snail Chains

This week I've added new sterling silver snail chains to my inventory. They have an interesting shape, and are attractive enough to wear alone or layered with other chains. They also work great with medium and larger sized pendants.

I've got them in 20-inch and 24-inch lengths, and have other lengths on backorder. They're in both my Etsy shop and my eBay store.

I Finally Made Something--a Temari!


Actually, I have a bunch of partially finished projects hanging around, and I picked this one up and finished it. Not quite as good a feeling as starting something new and completing it, but still a good feeling. So what do you do with a Temari? You can hang them on a holiday tree, display them on your desk, mantle, or table, or hang them from a hook. One of my daughters even has one hanging from the rear view mirror in her car, and my parents have a few displayed on top of their television. There are more photos and description in my Etsy shop.

I Really Need to Make Stuff


I feel like I haven't made much of anything new to list in my Etsy shop for far too long, and the need to create is making me anxious and cranky. Too much time spent painting a bedroom turned a slight case of tendonitis into burning pain, and it's really difficult to cut glass or hold a needle when my hand and arm are throbbing. I'm feeling somewhat better, so maybe tomorrow. In the meantime I've been cleaning out a bunch of old supplies, mostly sterling silver charms left from my husband's college days--he spent weekends selling jewelry at local flea markets. I keep discovering more and more little boxes full of this sort of thing, so if you're looking for a particular theme or shape and don't see it listed, just ask and I'll dig through the rest and see what I can come up with.
