Happy Halloween!

   Happy Halloween! It is the day for candy, costumes and creepy crawlers. In today’s post I will share my version of all three.

Found some fun Halloween decorations

   I finally removed some photos from my phone. I had forgotten about the Halloween decorations I came across while out visiting a couple of yard sales Saturday morning.

Not feeling too well...

   It is with apologies I post today. I haven’t felt like crafting or writing much.

A colorful game day post

   It is once again game day! And as I have done since the college football season started I have made game day jewelry.

Wire earrings with a twist

   I began this blogging adventure to share my challenges and successes in crafting. I feel like today’s post contains a little of both.

The art, or confusion, of pricing handmade items

   Do you ever go to craft shows and wonder, “How can that cost so much?” I will give my answer to this at the end of this post.

Road trip, crafts and fall foliage

   I hope you have enjoyed my jewelry creation through the colors of the rainbow. Having a theme like that to work with helps me have blog topics and helps when I am out of town.

ROY G. BIV is nearing an end with indigo


   Here’s something I wasn’t prepared for…different shades of indigo as I continue my rainbow-themed blog posts I have been calling “ROY G. BIV.”

It's Game Day!


   I interrupt this week’s rainbow-themed blog posts to bring you a college football game day post.

ROY G. BIV continues! Today is yellow!


   I’m going to come clean on something here…I do not like the color yellow. Maybe it's because it just doesn't look good on me.

ROY G. BIV leads me to jewelry creation and blog posts


   I went back to grade school for today’s post. Do any of you remember how you learned the colors of the rainbow?

It's a Monday and I need to get to work!


   Let’s see…I need some more wire, I need some motivation and I need something to write about.

Even short on time I find a way to work with wire!


   I didn’t have much time to spend in the Creative Cave yesterday. But I tried to make the most of the time I did have.

Charm bracelets for college football Saturday


   It’s time for another college football Saturday. I actually pull for several teams, but given where I live and other personal factors my “blood runneth orange.”

What do I do with all of this paper?


   Back when I first started making paper beads I went a little overboard on buying paper and acquiring paper scraps to use.

A pink post! October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month


   Pink really isn’t one of my favorite colors. There isn’t much pink in my wardrobe and I have very little in the way of pink beads and jewelry accessories in the Creative Cave.

Wire jig cuff bracelets...it's a wonder I'm not wrapped in wire!


   It should come as no surprise to any of my readers that I enjoy working with wire. I’ve used wire to wrap bracelets, rings and pendants.

A button and a wire-wrapped cuff bracelet


   I haven’t used buttons much in my crafting, but I have plenty of them. My hope has been that one of these days I would make something with them.

Battle of the orange this afternoon


   It sure doesn’t seem like a week since I last posted a football-themed entry on my blog. But it was. Today is another college football Saturday!

This is my 100th blog post!


   This is my 100th blog post! It kind of snuck up on me. I guess I should’ve planned better and made this some kind of celebratory post.

My blog can do more and I want to find out what that is


   I didn’t craft anything yesterday. What I did do was link up with other bloggers, as well as research more about promoting my own blog.

Hooked on wire rings


   I have some more handmade rings to show you. I finally studied a tutorial and as you will see, I became hooked on making them.

Going wire wrap crazy with rings


   Wow! Another month has come and gone. Welcome October! Perhaps I should get crafty and work on some Halloween and Thanksgiving items. For right now, however, I want to share my new obsession…handmade rings.
