Shop Update

Hey guys my shop has been updated with 8 new necklaces as well as a few updates on some other things.

My favorite of the new collecton is my "Peaceful Simplicity" necklace and it's a steal at only $15 dollars. I simply love this necklace, as I have been wearing one myself for the past few weeks.

Here's a peak at a few other things that you can find at my shop as well.

Summer Is Coming

Memorial Day weekend is here, and that means its the unofficial kickoff of summer. The weather is getting warmer, the landscape is greener and summer is right around the corner. (It just can't seem to get here soon enough).

With summer coming that means a new designs for the occasion. I've been working on a few new things especially for summer. My favorite so far is a peace sign design "slip necklace" which I absolutely love. The first one I made I loved so much I ended up wearing it myself before taking photographs of it. I was going out and wanted something just right to wear and it fit perfectly. I've been wearing it every day since, along with a similar bracelet that I've been wearing for about two weeks now. So needless to say some peace sign designs will definitely be popping up soon.

My next favorite thing is "Heavy Metal". I end up with lots of scrap chain and I've began creating "Heavy Metal" designs out of those scraps. They are basically a mix of random chains in various styles and colors.

I will also be doing a bunch of beach related pieces as the beach is probably my favorite thing about summer. One day I will live by the ocean on the beach. These man made lake beaches around me just don't cut it and I don't live by any of the nice Great Lake beaches like the west side of the state has.

Plus of course keys will remain a strong focal point of many designs.

Spring Has Sprung

ETSYBLOGGERS: BLOG CARNIVAL

Now that spring has sprung, it's planting time. If you're into gardening, what would your dream garden look like? What flowers/bulbs/herbs would you plant? What about garden doodads or statues?

Last year we cleared out space for a vegetable garden. It ended up being a great garden, we ended up with a bunch of vegetables. Our Tomato plants were the biggest I had seen about 3ft tall each and the stalks on them with thick and strong. I was impressed.

This year I'm hopping to plant more of a variety since last years was smaller and just a test to see how well things would do. I'm hopping to clear out more space and I'm going to also be planting things a bit further apart this year. Last year everything was about a foot apart or more and it still was to close together because the plants got so big.

I haven't really been able to plant flowers yet, we're still working on the landscaping aspect and have nothing but ground cover type plants. (Juniper, Ivy ect.) I can't stand it personally, hopefully this year we will get it all pulled out. Last year we tackled some of the larger bushes this year will be the smaller ones.

As far as decorations go I don't have many. I have a few stones, hanging tea light holders and some chimes. Nothing really overboard for the decorations.

I should be starting on things this week as we have two lovely days cmming up (Hopefully they stay that way).
