Soldering!!

So I finally received the glass that I ordered! I am really excited and yesterday I had the whole day to myself and went all out! I created 4 pendants and a pair of earrings! My camera battery is dead, so I am going to wait until the battery is charged, then I take some photos and post them here. See you in a bit!

I am back with some photos of my latest pieces!

The latest

So if you haven't checked out my shop feature on DesignsbyOne, please check it out here.

So as for my latest wedding invitation design, here it is. Its very yellowy orange, and springy.

I really like it and I think the fern is a nice touch. Please let me know your thoughts. You can see it in my shop here.

I am also very excited that its Baseball season. I am a Cardinals fan. I love going to the games, especially to get a ballpark hot dog and nachos. Yum!

Well I am off to bed, I may dream about that ballpark hot dog.

Antique Photos

I was thumbing through some of my grandparents vintage photos, and I came arcoss some really great ones! I went to a jewelry class on Saturday and I made some really nice soldered photo pendants. I will post photos of the finished necklaces later on.








Just a nice slice of history!!

I am also excited because I added two new invitation designs! Check it out here.

Sneak Preview!!

I just started my own Newsletters!! It is so exciting because it is a new way to receive information about my shop!! If you are interested in receiving my newsletter, I have added a mailing list sign up box on the right side bar of my blog!! Check it out!

I left my knitting bag at work! :-( I will not be able to knit my socks tonight (tear). I will read from my latest book, Atonement. It's really good so far.

Now for the preview of what I finished this weekend. See it here first before it goes in my shop!

Mucho Inspiracion

I stopped by Border's last night to thumb through some great books. I stumbled upon one book that was so inspirational and fun. It's called "The Big Ass Book of Crafts" by Mark Montano. He really had some wonderful ideas! So I bought it and I am going to look through the whole book and get inspired!! Keep checking back to my esty shop because I have some wonderful new things in the works!

As for my socks, they are coming a long quite nicely I think. Slowly but surely, I will have a little friend to put on my right foot. (My left foot is warm, but my right foot is still cold!)

Earring Queen

I have gotten into a recent obsession with creating these fun earrings. I find whatever image I want and then its on my ears! :-) You can find these and others at
my boutique.

As for my knitting, I promise I will get some photos up for those socks of mine! I am so excited because I have now reached the toe of my sock with plenty of yarn to spare!! YAy!

Good night!

I'm Back!

So I have a busy little bee lately - I finally opened my Etsy shop! I am so excited. The link is http://www.gidu.etsy.com. Tonight I have been working on some new ideas. And I made a really cute handbag/clutch/wristlet/coin purse/cosmetic bag thing! :-) It can be put to any use. It's a nice dainty size at about 8 inches tall (including handles) and about 7 inches wide.
