The Palmetto State rivalry is here! Wear your team colors!

   The day that divides the state of South Carolina is here. It’s game day! 

Good news and bad news

   The good news: I am close to finishing tomorrow’s game day jewelry post. The bad news: I overlooked a crafting post for today. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

May friends and family fill your home and heart!

Yes, I put up a Christmas tree before the turkey is even cooked!

   I really need to get back to making jewelry. And I will, so please be patient with me. The holidays – and weather – have me a bit frazzled. 

My second attempt worked! I have a Christmas centerpiece!

   Well, after a challenging first attempt at a holiday centerpiece I think I managed to make something I can use. 

A challenging craft day

   Have you ever sat down to do a project and have everything go wrong pretty much from the start? 

I can't help myself, I bought more craft supplies

   I really am excited to get started on more handmade jewelry projects and crafts after a recent shopping trip. 

Show your team colors...it's another game day!

   It’s another college football Saturday! This time I threw together a couple pair of earrings to celebrate game day. 

With this ring...I have more than I can wear at one time

   I have made more wire rings than I have fingers and toes. 

Wire jig bracelet

   It had been a while since I used my wire jig to make anything. So I decided to use it to make a bracelet.

Delicate two-strand bracelet

   I am on a bracelet kick. Yesterday I showed you the belt bracelets I finally got around to making. Today I will show you another experiment.

Buttons and belts make bracelets

   Buttons and belts have become my latest craft obsession. 

Thanksgiving and Christmas rolled into one holiday?

   Lots of blog ideas and crafting ideas are going through my head as we get closer to the holidays. 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the Creative Cave

   I found a little bit of holiday spirit yesterday in the Creative Cave. 

Hoping an organized workspace will spur motivation

   Just as my home and vehicle require regular cleaning and maintenance (maybe I should get on that), so does the Creative Cave. 

Seeking motivation

   Hmmm…I really have slowed down in my crafting adventures thanks to the weather (the Creative Cave has been cold), errands and activities away from the house. 

It's a game day and I made a goof!

   It’s Thursday and it’s a college football day! 

Just a short handmade jewelry post

   Today I am sharing a few jewelry pieces I made. 

Brown bracelets and a wreath that is giving me fits

   As I was pulling together the photos for today’s blog post I realized I must’ve been in a brown mood…whatever that might mean. 

Veterans Day

   On this Veterans Day I will remember those who have served in military service. I will take some time to reflect on past and current conflicts and the men and women who show dedication and bravery each day. 

Playing the yard sale game

   I am hooked on yard sales! Going out bright and early to find the best deals is like a game for me. A game I want to win. 

I finally did it! I made some memory wire bracelets

   Wow! It’s a college football Saturday and I’m not posting about it! Today I am talking about the memory wire bracelets I made.

A button necklace and ornament hook earrings

   I made a necklace without using any beads, chain, jump rings or string. 

Thrift shop finds and a song that won't leave my head

   I am going to try to make a long story short about how I came across Macklemore’s Thrift Shop song. How does this apply to crafting? Every time I go to a thrift shop, like I did yesterday, the song pops into my head. 

Clearance beads for a wire-wrapped cuff

   On Monday I showcased a bracelet and earrings I made from beads I found on clearance. Today’s post features more of those clearance beads. 

Angel wire cuff bracelet

   One of these days I will venture out of my jewelry making comfort zone and take on other craft projects. 

Holiday projects are looming

   It felt like it had been forever since I had spent any length of time in the Creative Cave. I made up for that yesterday. 

Sunday hodgepodge

   Happy Sunday! The weekend is nearing an end, Halloween has come and gone and the rush of the holiday season is upon us. 

Another day of college football!

   Is it just me, or does it seem like I am posting a college football game day write up more and more often than once a week? 

I turned into Edward Scissorhands for a Halloween project

   Yesterday, for Halloween, I was Edward Scissorhands.
