Spring Elegance

Do you have your jewelry to match your Easter attire? If not, give this a try.


Short post tonight...not feeling my best. Apparently something is blooming that does not agree with me. I hope to have more post later in the week.

Chicklets anyone?

Something about the turquoise beads reminds me of Chicklets gum...they look so much like them. So I had to name it Chicklet. I love the color combo!!!




I have been working on another necklace this morning inbetween changing diapers, feeding & playing. It will probably make it's way on here soon...but not today.

As soon as Chris gets home from fishing I have to get ready and go get the my cousin ready for a pageant tonight. So don't be surprised if you see a pic or 2 of her sometime soon.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

A different turn....The Flipper with a mirror. This is a 1.5"x 1.5". How neat...I have a big fear of eating and having something in my teeth. With this pendant I can simply flip it and look. I know..you are probably laughing now, but this is too neat.

You can have what ever design/initial on the front. This pendant is $15.00

Carson and the Buttercups

Caring on a tradition....Carson had his picture made with the buttercups today. I get to see these everyday going & coming back from work. Whenever I see the little flowers blooming I get all excited cause I know whats around the corner.

These were made in a field about 2 miles from our house...it is so full of color.













We had a very productive weekend....trimmed the landscape...which was a all day project on Saturday & partied like 4 year olds Saturday night at Andrews friends birthday party. We still have so much more to do..so I know what our next few weekends will consist of.
I hope everyone had a great weekend....back to the real world in the morning.

Listening music for you entertainment

I guess if you had your speakers turned up you noticed the new music. I ran across this today and thought why not...could be neat.

We had to have some Jo Bros, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus (these are Andrews favorites), the rest are my picking...Casting Crowns, Lifehouse, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Lady Ga Ga and more. I plan to add more whenever I have time. I think this could get addicting :)

I have been working on some more cute designs today....whenever I had time, it was just me & the kids today. I have some finished but no pictures yet. That is the plan for tomorrow...if I have time. We are traveling to Maryville in the morning so we will see what happens. But keep looking back I for sure will have them up this coming week.

I am trying to get ready for the Craft Show April 25th. This will be our (my sis in law, The FiDesigns & I) 1st show so we are trying to have a little bit of everything. Whew...it takes awhile to get stuff ready for a show....but it is fun!!!!

Time to get the kiddos to bed. They are having some major fun with Daddy...they have had Daddy withdraw today. I have to be the bad guy and break up the fun :( Oh well, part of being a parent. I hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend.

Good Night,
Bethany

My 50th Post

I just noticed when I signed in this was my 50th post...WOW...that was fast. I was able to get some more work accomplished this weekend. I have been working on this piece as a pendant but it hit me yesterday...this could also be a key chain, could be hooked to a zipper on a back pack, lunchbox or you could even hook it to your suitcase to make it easy to identify.

I don't know what got into me yesterday with the ideas...but I was on fire..hehe :) I will say it was the lovely weather that got the creative juices flowing. Here are some pics of keychain...or whatever you would like to use it as.
This one has made it's way to my keys... I love the green...so springy!!


How cut is this...very chic
You can purchase these by emailing me or going to my etsy shop. I will hopefully have them on there soon!! A number of colors are available. Email me for samples
I have to go...I have a sleepy screaming 15 month old that needs his mommy.
Have a great Sunday!!!!

A day in the SUN!!

What can I say.... I love this weather! Today was the first warm day we as a family have been able to get outside and play. So it was time for some t-ball. Andrew is still trying to decide if he wants to play in the summer league. I don't think he really understands what it is. So we may stay out another year, take him to some games this summer so he will understand better next year.

Here are some pics of our fun in the sun today.

Daddy showing him how to stand.



We have contact...

Carson...."I think I'll just push this button"





And Sally...The friendly neighborhood dog. She joined us for a little play time.
The day was great, but I am soooo tired and we are losing an hour of sleep tonight..UGH
Don't forget to run your clocks up 1 hour. UGH, so it's really 9:30... time to round up the kids for bed.
Good night,
Bethany

I finally did it...

I have been wanting to try a new jewelry technique for some time now. I have had some of the equipment for awhile but last week I order some more items I needed. Today I finally was able to complete a new piece. I still have some room for improvement but I am very pleased with the results.


The new piece is called "The Flipper"....It is 2 pendants in 1. Just flip it.

Here are some pictures.





I hopefully will have some of these on my etsy shop within 2 weeks. I have to order more glass.
The Flipper will be probably be around $12.00.

Hope to have some more pics this weekend. Have a great Friday night!
