Inspiration can come from Pinterest, and a shopping pal

   My friend Jules likes sparkly things. So it can be easy for me to make pieces of jewelry for her.

   For the first time in my many months of crafting, I decided to make wine glass charms.

Great discoveries during a morning of yard sale shopping

   Whew! What a busy morning. My pal Jules and I hit the road before daybreak to visit some yard sales and moving sales. I want to show you, or brag about, my great finds!

Make a bracelet with just chain, beads and eye pins

A little crafting with glass beads and wire

   I finally decided to get back to some crafting.

Pretty dangle earrings

   Once again I covered myself in crafting supplies on my couch. This time I made some earrings.

   The cold weather has slowed down my crafting a bit. But every once in a while I will gather some supplies and settle into a “crafting nest” on my couch.

   Long back I picked up a little bag of fancy paper clips. I wasn’t sure what I would do with them, but for some reason I just had to have them.

Shades of pink for Valentine's Day

   I do enjoy making different types of jewelry. If I’m low on energy or motivation, though, I go to my favorite piece to make…the wire-wrapped cuff bracelet.

   The crafting from my kitchen bar had been going very well…until I messed up a bracelet I was working on with what I can only guess was my brute force strength.

I need to work on my crafting and photo-taking skills

   I sure am trying to get back into the swing of things…mainly a crafting and blogging schedule.

I found crafting and holiday spirit in "Faith, Family and Ducks!"

   I’m a newshound. I’ve studied and worked in some form of writing and news since high school.

A "Less is More" approach

   I didn’t spend my day crafting yesterday. I’d like to say it was because I had too many other things to do.

Handmade wire bracelet and rings

   It should come as no surprise that I really like making wire-wrapped cuff bracelets. 

Jewelry, crafts and holiday deals

   I plan to make some new jewelry today and I am looking forward to it.

   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.

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