Yum yum Lemon Cupcake!

I just posted my first Scented Softie necklace in the spring line!

I can't believe how it smells just like a lemon cupcake with loads of sweet lemon icing! I think I gain a few pounds every time I sniff it! lol You can find it here!

I will be posting the rest during this next week! I think you all are really going to like them! They are a bit larger than this one. I dunno... For some reason I just like the larger ones that I made. The Sweetie says they look like candy all piled up on my table! ^_^

Also I've been playing around with new shapes for the softies! It's slow going, but I think it's definitely going to be worth it! ;)

And last, but certainly not least, I have some sweet new rings to post soon!

As soon as I get the Scented Softies Spring line completed, I will be posting more rings!

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!

It's Friday!

Come on, be excited with me! lol I'm soo looking forward to this weekend! For once, I have nothing planned, and I'm looking forward to just relaxing with my thread and beads! (And good-smelling things!) :D

I was just looking out the window, and it's so windy out there! But very sunny; I thought it was supposed to be nasty and rainy all day. How nice!

O... I'm so disappointed that I haven't able to get my Scented Softies listed yet. Some of my 'ingredients' were late arriving, so it will most likely be Monday. Or maybe tomorrow. ;) (I hope you guys like lemon cupcakes!)

I've also been playing around with some different designs, and a few little embellishments. Hehe! Sometimes I think that experimenting is the best part! lol Although I do like when I get the hang of something, and have a finished creation to admire, too! I suppose I just adore the whole process!

Oh! Also... I won the cutest reversible headband from Terri at Callidora! And it arrived today! It is sooo pretty! I'm so excited to wear it! I noticed that she has a matching tote bag in her shop, too, which is equally adorable. ;)

And now I'm off to find some lunch!

I hope you guys have had a wonderful week!

Sweet Scented Softies

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Mine was nice and relaxing; as always, it went by way too fast!

I did get a chance to work on some more jewelries for my shop!

I call them Softies. lol Lately I've been playing around with different textures in my jewelry. I've found a lot of solid pieces with different textures, but I wanted something that was softer, more light and airy for spring and summer. Yet I can easily see these going into fall, with shades of red, orange, yellow, brown. And winter, with icy blues, white, and of course red and green.

Even better... I'm going to be working on some scented Softies this week! I'm super excited about those! I did a few experiments with scented ones over the weekend. The one I'm wearing is Lavender Vanilla scented. It smells so wonderful! I've also got plans for scents like Coconut Lime, Black Raspberry Vanilla, and Sugar Dipped Strawberries! All are perfect for summer! *Does a little happy dance*

I would love to hear your ideas for colors and scents as well!

As soon as I decide on the stringing material, I'll list a couple in the shop. I haven't figured out if I want to use silver chain, or maybe some kind of grosgrain or organza ribbon. I'm also wondering if a larger size of ball chain would look cute! I didn't think it would be such a tough decision! lol

I'm off to get some lunch before I go to work!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Rainbows for Charity!

So I was exploring Etsy last night, and came across this:

Give Back with Glitter: Charity Art Sale

I decided to donate!

I made this special Rainbow Fairy Lantern, and covered it in glitter!

You can find this necklace and many more lovely glittered items by visiting Etsy, and searching for 'idolgivesback'. I'm quite excited about it! I hope you will stop by and check out all the beautiful things!

I also took a picture of some of the lanterns in my hand, so people can see how tiny they are! (Well, actually I got The Sweetie to take the picture, since he is home today. :) Hehe!)

See? They are tiny I tell ya! lol

As always, I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Etsy Love and some Fairy Lanterns!

Ah! I made my first sale on Etsy yesterday! I'm so thrilled! It was just the motivation I needed to start on these...

This is a picture of my new little Fairy Lantern Necklaces! Well, actually this is a picture of three of the fairy lanterns on one necklace. When they go up in my shop, it will be one Fairy Lantern on sterling silver ball chain. And don't be fooled by this picture; these little lanterns are tiny! The whole lantern measures right at 11/16" tall, including the wire-wrapped loop! See? Tiny!

Look for them soon in my shop!

I have to run to work now; I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
