It's about time I take inventory

   I decided to take inventory in the Creative Cave.

One cold day, four pieces of handmade jewelry

   What a great way to spend a frigid cold day…crafting jewelry while sitting under my handmade fleece blanket on the couch.

Hodgepodge of crafted items

   I just haven’t been able to channel any creativity lately when it comes to making jewelry.

I'm surprised I'm not wrapped in fleece!

   Apparently I take on any new craft with gusto. (Except the wirehanger ornament wreath of course).

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.

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. 

Making plans for the week - jewelry, crafts...pruning?

   It’s Monday! I’m ready to get moving on a week of jewelry making, crafting and chores. I guess…lol. 

From Pinterest: Psalm 23 bracelet

   I always find projects I would like to try when I look at things on Pinterest. Whether it is a fancy dessert, a home renovation project or unique pieces of jewelry, I will save these pins thinking maybe someday I will give them a try. 

Random topics and photos from the Creative Cave

   I take lots of pictures when I 'm making jewelry in the Creative Cave. Only a few make it to each day's blog post. 

Fun yard sale finds!

   Although I consider myself an early bird I got up earlier than usual this morning. I’m anxious to get to the Creative Cave and make more wire jewelry. 

Crafting a football tailgate centerpiece

   By now you know I am a fan of the Clemson University Tigers. I am excited for their first game of the season this evening against the Georgia Bulldogs. 

Committed to organizing the Creative Cave, and keeping it that way!

   Last month I did a bit of organizing in the Creative Cave. I guess all of my experiments can pile up quicker than I expected.

Part Two - "Epic" yard sale adventure

   With a newspaper and other addresses written down, Jules and I forged on in our yard sale adventure after our first two stops didn't turn out so well.

Writer's block and some crafty inspiration

   I used to write for a living. In fact, I’ve worked in some sort of writing job for more years that I care to count. So why is it I have so much trouble writing for my blog?

Another necklace, more earrings and renewed inspiration

   In the blog post “Grab a bead and wrap it in wire” I shared photos of wire-wrapped pendants I made. Well, since I have a handful of those pendants I decided to make a necklace.

Reflections: A month of blogging

   This weekend marks a milestone of sorts for me. I have been blogging about my jewelry crafting for one month!

Creating bracelets and earrings for matching sets

   I’m continuing my adventure in wire bracelets and now I am throwing matching earrings into the mix.

Navigating Networking...When will I craft again?

   When I started making jewelry back in the spring I would often find myself spending hours in the Creative Cave. Little did I know that once I started a blog about my crafty adventures that I would actually have to schedule my days.

A newbie to handmade jewelry and blogging

   I have turned into a garage girl. Not because I have any particular skill or talent with lawn mowers or leaf blowers or any other piece of equipment, but because I have cats.

   I cannot, and have not dared not try, bead work inside the house with the triplet hurricanes known as Beau, Wolfie and Zuzu. They are four years old and anyone who has indoor cats knows that they own everything.
