Giveaway!

Man, it has been forever since I've done a blog post! Since the end of December, my life has been a bit upside down. I temporarily had custody of my then 6 month old grandson. Let's just suffice it to say that babies dramatically change the way you live your life and many things were put on hold, including my blog posting. Happily, he is now back where he belongs with my daughter and hopefully, I am back to blogging on a more regular basis.

My only dilemna now is what to blog about on a regular basis. Well, for starters, one of my Etsy teams, Kansas Etsy Team, has started doing giveaways on our blog. Starting today and through March 13, I am the featured vendor and am giving away this beadwoven bracelet.

For a chance to win, please visit http://www.kansasetsyteam.blogspot.com and follow the entry instructions.

The Last of the First Four

My first batch of four Czech art glass buttons from Crazycakes are all now incorporated into jewelry designs. I just can't get over how beautiful they have all turned out. Hopefully, that doesn't sound too boastful. But these buttons are just so lovely, they inspired me to create pieces that enhance that loveliness. I think the last one I made, the bronze herringbone bracelet, is my favorite of the four. Although, the white one is very sweet. I just got eight more of the buttons in the mail today and can't wait to start designing with them. In fact, I think I'll go shop in my stash right now to see what I can come up with!
