Blue Jean Collection and more!

Vacation time...for the rest of my family.  My husband and his family will be on vacation for a week starting tomorrow.  Unfortunately, because I was out of work for 6 weeks with the baby, I don't get to go.  :(  So it's a week without the hubby for me.  Oh well.  My little one makes it worth it.

Meanwhile...I made a new collection!  Titled Blue Jean Baby.  It's all items either made with the color of blue jeans or actual blue jeans!  I love these.  The blue of blue jeans is such a great color to work with.

Take for example this necklace made by WillOaks Studio.  I love the drape and the ribbon adds a beautiful touch.

Then there is this clutch from Nancy's Bags Etc.  I LOVE how they used the buckle from the overall as the closure for the clutch.  So creative!

And this bear made by Crivellobears is absolutely adorable!  I just want to squeeze him!!!

Go check out the collection and leave a comment!

Meanwhile, I'm re-organizing my store and will be updating older listings and adding some fresh new ones!

Happy Friday!

Tea time, not baby time

Well...according to the doctors, today's my baby's due date.  According to the ultrasounds, I still have another 10 days.  They did schedule to induce me next Wednesday if there's still no baby.  I'm ready!  I wish he was.

On a different note, I made a new collection!  I love tea and all of the things that go with it, so yesterday, I decided to make a collection of teapots!  This collection includes actual teapots along with teapot jewelry.

First is this one.

I love the bubbles.  It's very unique and something that you won't find every day.  I love the classic shape, too.

Then there's this.

I love the peacock!  It's very simple, but very different.

And this necklace I think is just adorable!  I would so wear that.

Check out the rest of the collection on Artfire in Tea time!  A beautiful collection of teapots of all sizes!  Drop a note and let me know what you think!

Happy Wednesday!

Beautiful day!

Boy is it a beautiful day out today.  The sun is shining, no sign of rain, the temperature is nice... It feels like it's been forever!  Yesterday (Friday) I had a wedding to go to.  Trying to find something nice to wear to a wedding when you are 8 1/2 months pregnant is an accomplishment, let me tell you.  I don't understand why the only nice dresses that the maternity store had were short.  I'm sorry.  When I'm this pregnant, I do not want a short dress.  I not only don't want anyone to see my swollen calves/ankles/feet, but a short dress would only get shorter when my belly fills it out.  Anyway...I did end up finding a nice pants outfit to wear, and a great day was had by all.  The bride was beautiful, the weather (sort of) held out and the food was not bad.

Anywhoooo....I made a collection the other day on ArtFire of all handspun yarn.  Yarn that included this...



and this...



and this...



I want them all!  I just love handspun yarn.  It always has such character to it.  No matter if it's made by a beginner or a professional like these, it's just the idea that someone made it by hand that adds such life to the yarn.  The final projects that are completed with handspun yarn are always one of a kind!  I do some spinning myself, but I am by no means a master.  Not like the makers of these yarns.  I have such respect, admiration and more than a little jealousy toward masterful spinners.  My hat's off to you!

If you would like to see the whole collection that I put together (trust me, it's beautiful), visit it here.

Happy Sunny Saturday!!!
