this is the month for orders

December everyone is thinking about gift giving.  Well I can tell you that can give is handmade jewelry made by me. I have already had a few orders for a bracelet and rings.  Also I have my jewelry displayed at Urban Mill coffee shop this month.   I have offical run out of beading string, so I have been crocheting insted untill i can get more string.  My head is full of designs.

urban mill show coming up.

well when ever I get the call from the lady that puts on the craft show I will be there selling my jewelry and spreading awareness about FAS.  I am excited to be asked back again. i have alot of new bracelets and rings this time around. and I hape i sell alot more then i did in August.   But lately I haven't been making  jewelry, I have been crocheting with plastic bags.  and i am kind of in need to colored plastic grochery/shirt bags. I have been taking a break from jewelry, untill I sell some.  Pics to come soon.
sorry about the website.  I will have to try to figure out how to post it so you all can get  to it.

Happy Thanksgiving

I came up with this idea just the other day, and have made a few of them.

Hope you8 all have/a wonderful day with family and friends.  I hope you have alot to be grateful for.  I know I do.  One thing i am thankful for is my gift of doing beadwork and other crafting.  God has been good to me this year as far as my jewelry and Fetal Alcohol story goes. i have spread the word  to others about FAS through my jewelry.  And here are a few pics of beaded and crocheted stuff I have made.

getting hooked on crocheting

                                           first try at crocheting with plastic bags.  Placemat


so last weekend i went to a recycled craft show where everything was made out of things that were considered trash.  When I got home I started learning to crochet via youtube.  so thats what I have been doing this week.  So here are some pics of  the crocheting I have done, and a few bracelets i did.

yeah for me, I am done til spring

                              Bracelet on the top is red not orange, I have yet to make an orange one

Flat Spiral bracelet made on 11-2-11

And i have been constently beading. I have made several bracelets and a few rings.  I am not getting sick of it yet, you can say I have been bitten by the bug.  I was asked by one of the girls at Urban Mill if i would be intersested in selling my jewelry there in December.  and of course I said yes    Seeing  that I have alot of time now.  i am pretty excited  about new designs I have made.

one more day to work

yup in the fall i only work about two months. those two months just flew by    The fall activities at Koetsier's can be kind of fun.   But at the same time over whelming.  But over the last couple of days i have been making alot of 2 drop peyote bracelets.  my jewelry inventory is adding up before my eyes.  sometimes it seems to take forever for a bracelet to get finished, and sometimes its done before you know it.  So now that tomorrow is my last day working you can only guess what i will be doing this winter months....Beading madly.   So here a few pics of the bracelet i made.

what a crazy couple weeks

the last couple weeks haven't been all that great. two weeks ago from today my grandma was admitted into the hospital with side and back pains. and for days they couldn't figure out what was wrong.  then just last week they found something and did surgery to fix it.  I thought now that its taken care of she would be on the road to recovery  and now she is not doing good.  I ask for prayers for her and our family as we go through this.

in all of this i have been working and making bracelets.   there is one that I just finished and it took me three days to complete. i think you will be amazed.
