I have so much I am working on today, but I had to stop and share this photograph, because I could not believe that I just set a stone in a plate. See, I did remember some of the silversmithing that I was taught!

I am circle crazy, officially. I got these earrings finished during nap time yesterday and my fingers are raw! I am really happy with how they turned out though. Even Mr. Broken Plate had an opinion about these, and it was good, shocking! I am putting together another package to send to the Rachael Ray wardrobe, these seem to be her style.
I recieved news that my work has made it into another book! It is by Extreme Craft, called 1000 Ideas for Creatuve Reuse. I am not sure when it comes …
That was a long week. Not a bad week, just loooong. I got a lot accomplished with the new simple circle line, and am really excited to make more and more circles! I have new earrings, cuff links, and rings coming in the very near future.

See you Monday.
So much for my super productive week. I feel like all of the forces have been conspiring against me. I only have 2 days to work, Tuesday and Thursday, when Nolan is at school. Last week, I got a stomach bug on Tuesday and on Thursday, I worked in the am, then had the nerve to take an hour lunch with Tya. When I came back I had no power, I guess that is what I get.

Luckily she thought of me, and I got to work my magic with the pieces. it is so fulfilling for me to make …

I admit it, I never really liked my line of brooches too much. So today, when I discovered these amazing magnetic backed brooches, I could not resist making a new line. The best part about these little guys is that the magnets are SUPER strong so you can put them on your favorite shirt without putting holes in it or leaving marks. Keep an eye out over the next week for this first run to show up in my shop. Drop me a note if you would like one reserved. (The bottom accents can …
