Enjoying a bit of growth

2010 January 13
by cherylstrait

I am being cautiously optimistic as I make this post, I have expanded my Jewelry making supplies to include handmade findings, The latest items are patinaed headpins, enameled houses and copper cut outs.

 

I am so ecstatic that the enameled houses have little enameled windows,

that I am offering them at the introductory price of 5 for $10.00, until the end of January!


This copper house is large enough to use as a focal point in your designs!

Bear with me as the wheels are turning, more designs are coming, Blame it on my muse, she woke me up at 3:00 am to get the lead out!

12 more days until OWOH Blog giveaways begin!

Enjoy!

Trials ,Tribulations and Celebrations!

2009 December 31
by cherylstrait

If I were a drinking woman, I would surely chug down a fifth of Jose Cuervo, with a little salt and lime, to celebrate the fact that this year is finally coming to a close.

On top of the holidays I have spent the last month, being “Someone’s beck and call girl”, I have had jury duty all month long, which seriously has stifled my “creativity” not to mention any plans I may or may not have had. And for that I am not Pleased! “Civic Duty my azz”. I just had to say it!

So here is a toast, to thank the High Heavens that this year 2009 is finally coming to a close!
