Where to begin???

I have been so busy over the past month!

I've had several large wholesale orders that I've been working on. Here's part of them... (Psst... Those lollipops are scented and the jelly beans are real!)

We also got a new kitten a few weeks ago! Ironically enough... His name is Lollie! lol We thought he was a girl at first... Oops!

Speaking of Lollies... I've also been getting some things ready for LolliShops, working on a few new ideas and mediums for when they open. One of the big things has been working out my own recipe for fiberclay. I think that's finally finished; I just have to make a few things with it to see if I finally like the consistency, etc.

I would also like to have some of those polymer clay lollipop sets up for LolliShops too, but I'm not sure which direction I'm wanting to go right now!

Then there's the Gingerbread challenge at LolliShops... Boy, do I ever have a cool idea for that! And it involves my fiberclay! I've been working on the patterns and candies for that, too. :D

The Sweetie has gone out of town a couple of times, which seems to throw everything off. To Florida for a Navy ceremony, and to New York for a Composer's Convention.

Thank goodness this is the week of fall break! I can finally get caught up!

I'm leaving... On a jet plane...

Okay, not really on a jet plane. But I will be out of town this weekend. :D

I'll be sure and reply to any messages, etc. as soon as I can on Monday! All orders will be processed starting Tuesday.

Here's a little treat for you all to enjoy while I'm gone!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Saturday It Is

What a lovely, productive week I've had!

I finished up a bunch of beaded cupcakes for a local wholesale order. They're in the new Halloween colors, so I'm not going to post pictures of those just yet! Hehe... :D I'm going to wait 'til it gets closer to Halloween!

And I completed this beautiful bracelet for a customer:

I seriously don't know how I'm going to part with it! lol I think it turned out soo pretty! All those little shimmering Fairy Lanterns in so many different colors! <3

If you would like to order your very own Mini Fairy Lantern Jewelry, please send me a convo through my Etsy shop!

And, some other happy news... Everyone's back at work now! I'm so glad! The pneumonia scare is over, and she's back!

It was a great week! :D

Super Quick Update

This week has been a bit more hectic than usual. One of the ladies from work has been in the hospital since last Thursday. They found out she has pneumonia again. So they have been doing tests and such to see what the problem is. So I have been filling in for her while she is getting better. I do hope she comes back soon; I miss her teasing me all the time. *giggle*

On a happier note, I did manage to get some new things done this week!

A new size of beaded cupcakes! These are just 9mm wide, and about 9mm tall! (Yes, you read that right; millimeters!)

I've decided to call them Fairy Cakes. <3

Here is a bracelet that I made using some of the pink, white, and vanilla cupcakes. Can't you just imagine this dangling from the wrist of a sweet little birthday girl???

I am just in love with these little sweeties!

Seed Beads Galore!

I have been up to my ears in seed beads this weekend! But, oh how wonderful the results are turning out to be!

I'm going to start offering 'Kits and Supplies' in my shop soon, so most of the past week has been spent putting those kits together. I've really enjoyed the process - choosing awesome seed bead color combinations, picking out the different little odds and ends that will also be included, naming the color schemes... It's been a fun little project! I still need to type up the instructions and finalize the packaging. After that is finished, they will be up in my shop at a special introductory price for the first week!

And of course I will sneak peak them here a day or two before they are listed!

Meanwhile... I did list some new necklaces today!

I am just so excited about our next trip to Disney World! I have one of these little glitter resin MM ears necklaces that I wear quite a bit! I wanted to share them with all of my Disney World-loving friends!

And on this happy note... I'm off to mix some more seed beads!
