Destash Site Gettin' Some Love

I was really surprised to find out that some of my beads from my *Destash* site were featured in a treasury! Cool! Rozsgaragesale.etsy.com hasn't been featured yet, to my knowledge anyway.

Here are my cute little featured pumpkins:

Right now I've got a Firemountain "Fantasy Cart" going on.

Sometimes when I'm bored, I go to firemountaingems.com and fill up my cart with all of the beads I'd like to buy. I get all of these creative ideas going on....the only problem is that my cart is worth about one of my paychecks right now!

I'm holding myself to my promise, though - I can only buy beads with my paypal etsy profits and other jewelry (and cafepress) profits, so I'm chipping away sale after little sale. :)

In good news, I sold a couple pair of earrings this week, so I'm that much closer to my beads! (I feel "addicted" to buying beads sometimes...is that bad?)

Here's a pair of simple, yet elegant earrings that I just whipped up and listed:

As Luck Would Have It....

I got another treasury!

I gave this one a theme using the color "mustard yellow"

"This Mustard's Not for Hot Dogs"

Unfortunately, I made a grammar error in the title - HUGE pet peeve of mine when people don't use apostrophes correctly and I mistyped. Grr...


P.S. - This treasury is a THREE DAY one! I haven't gotten one of those before. :D

March Madness...

So...something is getting in the way of my beading, which I never thought I'd say. My beading room is downstairs...my TV with the NCAA Tournament is upstairs. I guess a solution is to bring up all my beading stuff and clutter the living room, but then I experience "Angry Husband Syndrome".

Ah, the difficult situations that I get myself into ;)

P.S....yesterday's games killed all of my brackets....the basketball gods are not smiling down on me.

Antique Brass

I am loving the look of antique brass! It's got an antique (duh), or vintage, look to it and the color the the chain and findings really makes colorful gemstones stand out.

I just got some AB findings in the mail so I could finally work with my AB chain. (Leave it to me to buy the chain without the matching findings)

It's time to feature a great artist!

Specializing in canvases and other altered art, the artist, Staci Schemm, does a great job of making the viewer smile!

I recently found some time to do some more beading, and created some great pieces that are really versatile.
