Happy Memorial Day and Show and Tell Monday

I have had an incredibly busy week. With it being a holiday weekend I have had alot of petsitting assingments. The post below is just 3 of my adorable clients you can visit. I hope you all have had a safe and fun holiday. I thank all of our service men and women who have served our country.

Also, stay tuned this week. This friday is our first Pink Friday hosted by Make Mine Pink. Each friday there will be a different theme. The shops will have an item related to that theme. It will be sold only on that day. So you will have to be fast to snap up the great and creative items. This is going to be so much fun and such an original way to shop. This fridays theme is "Paris in Springtime." I cant wait to see what these creative women come up with. I hope you stop back by and see what I have come up with!

Well, with all thats going on I managed to come up with two new pieces of jewelry for show and tell monday. First is a pair of dragonfly earrings. I used light blue swarovski crystals. I like dragon flies. And next is for any Princess. This bracelet is pink and clear swarovski crystals in different sizes and shapes. Nothing catches light like swarovski crystals for sure. And the princess needs a crystal crown!! I will be back later this week with more suprises to remind you of Paris. Until next time.................

Show and Tell Monday

Wow its been a week already. Time is really flying. I have been very busy on my magazine submission pieces. I am happy to say they are done and I will be mailed this week. I dont think they want me showing them ahead of time, so I wont put them on my blog yet. I have emailed pictures to a couple of people though. Now is all the "paper work" writing the step by step instruction list, and supply lists. Now I am wondering if having 4 pieces is such a good thing!? LOL. So I have gotten a couple things done and I have posted 6 new things to my etsy shop if you want to have a look around there. (thanks)

The first thing is a two dollar garage sale find. This was a white wicker rocking chair that was painted white. It need some fresh paint, so I decided on yellow. Dont think I really did not want to go with pink! You see George sleeping. He is the cat who loves tues. market chat so much. Its fast paced on the computer and its a huge chase game for him. lol

Next, my friend Judy and I have been making these pillow cases like crazy. I picked this fabric because the theme for my business is water lillies and color. So I couldnt resist. But they are adorable in so many color combinations. They take minutes to make and they even have french seams, so no raw edges. I am going to make a pillow case and matching pj bottoms for everyone for Christmas.

Then last but not least some new jewelry. Of course I am loving using Cindys roses. These are both on my etsy shop now. I cant wait to see what you all have done. I have a crazy day, so I promise to visit you ALL, but it may take me all day to do it. The best part of the day for sure!!!! until next time...........gail

Show and Tell Monday :)

Show and tell monday is always one of my favorite posts. That means my friends are making new posts as well. I get to see what everyone is doing this week. I have been soooo busy this week with trying to get my house ready to sell and work has been crazy, but I managed to get a few things finished. Thats why I love it; it would be so easy to brush off not completing anything when its gets crazy but I love participating so much I get something done.

I am also trying to come up with an absolutely WOW idea for consideration to have something published in a jewelry magazine. Normally I am never at a lack for ideas but I want this to be over the top. And as I mentioned its just been crazy this week. I hope to have something working for me by the middle of the week. Well, I cant wait to visit everyone. Until next time....

The necklace is one more of the hand built ceramic roses from Cindy at Angel Heart Designs. The Bracelet is actually more lavender and purple than the pictures shows, and this is a small tote I made from a leg of some old blue jeans. Its lined in a yellow/orange batik fabric with cats on it. I was just experimenting and just through it together.
