St. Patrick's Day food and craft ideas

   Green is my favorite color. With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner I should be making green jewelry and crafts.

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.

Fun holiday craft ideas

   Today I am sharing some links to some fun holiday projects.

Lessons learned from a holiday fair

   I ventured out on a foggy morning yesterday, with coffee mug close by, to visit a holiday fair. 

Jewelry, crafts and holiday deals

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

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. 

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. 

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. 

Wire jewelry and a hand "claw"

   I wanted to create something fun with the wire jig. Somewhere amid the hours of Internet and Pinterest searching I’ve done for wire jig ideas I came across a Christmas tree. I gave it a try.

Colorful and fun holiday bracelet and earrings

   In yesterday’s blog post I gave a little tease that I wanted to make more holiday jewelry. Well, it took a few tries but I did get a couple of things made. 

Delicate angel earrings

   These are the cutest earrings. And it didn’t take much at all to put them together. 

Trick-or-Treat in September

   I finally made myself sit down and make some kind of holiday-themed jewelry. In this case I made a couple of Halloween bracelets. 

I'm in a black hole of unfinished jewelry

   I thought it might be fun to make some holiday jewelry. Turns out, I’m not in the holiday spirit.

Handmade jewelry for holiday flare

   In addition to accessorizing your everyday wardrobe, jewelry can be used to show holiday spirit.
