No new pictures.

I've been working on my fall line for a few weeks now. Artists block is plaguing me, but I'm sure it won't last. There are a few last minute summer goods that I have to get photographed, fortunately on the WWW it's always summer somewhere.

Exciting!

I'm partaking in a giveaway contest at a sister blog "Handmade Showcase"

Above are some of my favorites that will be available to the contest winner.

Good luck to all who enter!

There's an interview with me and some lovely photos of my work. This is all very exciting.

Two of my Pretties

These bracelets are a rarity in that they are exactly as I saw them in my head when they were a mere inspiration.

Hip Hip Hooray!

I finally had a lightbulb moment, thanks to the help of some wonderful artisans at Etsy, and now I know how to work in my own blog. This means I will probably be posting on a more frequent basis. Zippity Doo Dah!

This is one of my favorites, it's so feminine. I used a very old pattern, (mid 1940's) from a booklet my grandmother gave to me a long time ago. I also used vintage crochet cotton.

Oh it's been so long.

I'm making a conscious effort to maintain this blog on a regular basis now.Here are some of the things I've been working on lately.

These are my crocheted collars: The one above reminds me of coral in the sea, (I don't know if it's actually ever purple, but hey...)

metal ages, just one more

metal ages too

It's sort of uncomfortable to crochet with wire but the results are so worth it.

More metal ages

I didn't do any creating over the weekend but I have been working on taking pictures. I really let my stuff pile up before I photograph it.

more fishing nets

I really love the look of these. I've kept several for myself and whenever I look at semi-precious chips I just can't help buying a bunch and making more.

Some more of my springtime inspirations

Some of what I've been up to.

I partook in the first "Buffalo Indie Market" at the Pearl Street Grill and Brewery. They will be held monthly every second sunday of the month with the next event on May, 11th. I will be a vendor again for the June event. It was a wonderful day full of lots of great things!

Here is the link to their website.

So long since I've last posted

These are some sweet little springtime bracelets.

my foray into felting

I recently tried felting a scarf, and although that didn't turn out too well, (no photo available), I loved the whole trip so here are some of my other projects so far.
