Happy New Year

Happy New Year 2013.   Yes it has been awhile since my last blog post. but not to much has been going on.  But I did have a good Christmas and New year.   Also the best news of all is I became an aunt for the 10th time on Christmas Eve.  My sister had a beautiful baby boy. 
Lately I have been busy working on paper bead bracelets.  Getting ready for another ARTS an organization in California) art fair in April.  I am also hoping to sell my jewelry at a farmers market here in town.   So this year is looking pretty good so far.   I will have pictures up soon.

fall activities are done and so am I.

Yes I am done working. I have been for about 3 weeks now.  Lately I have been making paper beads and bracelets. And just yesterday I got a "bunch" of magazines from my aunt.  I use all sorts of paper from regular computer paper to magazines and newspaper to fun scrapbook paper. I have been asked to make more bracelets for another art fair that ARTS( in San Diego California) is having in April.
So here are some of the bracelets I have made.

from these to...

I thought this up all on my own.

Fall

Well I have been working now for about 3 weeks. and all is well.  Having fun with the kids and carrying out mums and pumpkins galore.
But in other news.  I just got an email today saying that all my paper bead bracelets that I sent to California
 sold. And the ARTS organization was very pleased.  and they want me to continue to make paper bead bracelet for them to sell.   I am more then willing to make more.  I enjoy doing it.

Back to work, fall activities

Yes I have started back to work Friday. And so far the two days that I have worked have gone by fast.  its good to be back.
In other news, last week Wednesday I sent out my paper bead bracelets to California.  and got an email saying they got there safely.  Now we want them to sell like hot cakes.
I am still working on bracelets and rings. but mostly the seed bead ones. Now that I am working I don't have  much time to make jewelry. Though I have finished a few bracelets that I started awhile ago including one I way making for my mom for her birthday.
Here are some pics of  what I have made lately

To market, to market, to sell some jewelry, home again home again. with some money!:-)  well the first time selling at the market was ok. I only sold 2 paper bead bracelets. but on the up side i did hand out alot of my cards. and i met a few people who knew someone who had FAS and thought it was a great thing I was doing.
I will be at the market again this coming week Tuesday. from 8am to?
I have been making a few more rings using different bead weaving stitches.I have also been making paper bead rings. to match some of the bracelets.
 I will have pics up soon.  other then that. the time to send my other paper beads bracelets to Cal. is coming soon. I got an email as a reminder today.

Selling in Town

My friend Rob and i went to the Fulton Farmers market to see if I could get a booth so i could sell my jewelry there.  I talked someone there and before I knew it. i was approved.  So I am able to sell my jewelry at the market. I am pretty excited.  I will be down there this week Tuesday.

I have been working on finishing a lot of bracelets that i have started along time ago. and making new.   

lazy summer

Well I haven't been working all July and I won't be working in August either. but will be back at the greenhouse in September.

With this time off it gives me plenty of time to: make, glaze, and create. beads and bracelets.  I just got word that the Art fair in San diago isn't till October so I have alot of time to make more.  though I have made alot already.  I will be sending 30 of the bracelets to sell.  I am still excited and happy for this opportunity.  
And as you can see I have found creative ways to display my jewelry.
