Well, it is less than a week until Valentine's Day. I am very happy that I got some sales for my jewelry. It is kind of exciting to think that in a few days someone will be opening their Valentine's Day present and will be getting my jewelry!

Now I am starting to plan ahead for the rest of the year. I have already created a few St Patrick's Day bracelets, but Easter will be following right behind it. I will be creating some pretty pastel colored bracelets for Easter. Some will have bunny charms and others I will make with crosses. I have ordered my beads and I am excited to start working with them.

In the meantime, I am going to work on some theme jewelry. I started a new series yesterday called my Kitten jewelry. I found some great glass beads with a swirly color palette and I am adding some pewter kitten charms. I love the colors!

I am also working on a chain maille piece. It has been a while since I have really worked with chain maille, and I wanted to do a necklace. It will feature graduating rows of chain maille and possible will incorporate some crystals. I will show you the finished product when it is complete.

February

I can't believe it's February already! It seems like I just posted here a few days ago! Time has sure flown by, and it has been a busy month. I have been working on so many things this month. Valentine's Day is on the way so I have been working on a Valentine line of jewelry. Lots of pretty red and white beads and hearts!

I had a lot of fun creating these pretty promo pictures for Valentine's Day. I will still be making some more Valentine's pieces for another week or so, but I am also starting to work on some St Patrick's Day items. I made three bracelets yesterday, they are so cute and fun!

I am getting pretty good at creating some fun pictures using props. I have so many ideas and it is almost as much fun as creating the jewelry!!

I have also been working pretty hard on my new line. I have expanded my orange bracelets to represent not only Kidney Cancer, but also Leukemia. The Cervical Cancer bracelets now come with the choice of the Teal and white Cervical Cancer ribbon, or the teal Ovarian Cancer ribbon. I have also started a new line of purple bracelets for Animal Rescue Awareness, no ribbons for these bracelets, but instead a cute heart charm with a paw print on one side and "I ♥ my cat" or "I ♥ my dog", and % of the proceeds will got to Animal Rescue groups. Since there are so many deserving groups, I have decided to choose a group every month to be the recipient of the donation.
