Less humidity! And...I'm running a SALE!

I love blogging!  It's so much fun.  I wish I had more time for writing...but what I enjoy most is sharing photos of places I visit and some of my creations.  Also, I have a secret addiction!!! - I love pressing "Next Blog" to see where blogger takes me.  Wonderful world of blogs out there, and don't you feel more connected because of blogs?  I do.

What have I been up to this week?  I've been in de-cluttering mode.  I'm attempting to get my art supplies, beads and fabric under control.  HELP!  I have more items than room for them.  It's quite a dilemma.  I keep spreading out through my home, and I'm attempting to get it all under control.  And, there is always the temptation to purchase more supplies.  What's crazy creator to do???

All this thinking about blogs and bloggers - It dawned on me to run a sale for my blog followers, other bloggers and those who check my blog from time to time.  I'm offering 20% off on both my Etsy sites.  Just use the coupon code at time of purchse - Coupon code: Blogger53011

Next, I'm going to get busy and list more items.  I have much to do since I have a lot of unlisted items. 
Gotta get busy.

What Have I Been Up To in 2010???

The above necklace is an example of my new line of "Eco-Chic" jewelry.

2010 went by at record speed. I've never had a year go by so quickly. I'm not sure why this happened because it seemed like a bland year. I didn't do anything amazing or travel to far away exotic places, but never-the-less time flew by.

Every new year I sit down to write a list of what I've learned in the past year. In 2010 I learned to to accept my life as it is. I picked up a book about finding JOY, and in it there was a saying which totally fits my new way of thinking. "What is, is." Such a simple statement. For some reason these words add a bit of comfort to my life and a way of accepting what I can't change.

This doesn't mean I'm going to sit back and not work on improving myself and my life. It just helps me adjust to the limitations before me.

OK...moving on:

In 2010 I decided it was time for my Jewelry and other creations to get out into the world. I now have my enamel jewelry and other pieces in a wonderful gallery store in Newburyport, MA.

My work can be found at the Sisters We Three

on 57 Pleasant Street in Newburyport. I love being represented by these three sisters who work diligently to keep their store vital and intriguing.

Here are a few examples of the jewelry I have in this store:


This is a sterling silver wire bracelet created with an unusual heart shaped artisan lampwork focal bead. The heart is wrapped in silver wire creating a "captured heart."

This is a reversible enamel pendant that I made through multiple firings in my kiln. I love its beachy look and versatility.


Here's another earthy looking unique enamel piece. As you can see I enjoy creating heart jewelry.

In 2010 I allowed my creative muse lots of freedom. She began designing "Eco-Chic" jewelry which I'm totally excited about.

I now create awesome "EcoChic" jewelry by upcycling jeans, tee shirts, and fiber into necklaces, bangle bracelets, scarves, purses, cuff bracelets and more. I've dedicated a new website to this endeavor. Below is one of the neat purses I created using denim jeans as my fabric, and a lovely necklace, too.

Thanks for looking. I hope you love my creations as much as I love making them!
