I created a few pieces this past week and added them to my Etsy shop. Be on the look out for more new stuff this week.

Now that my studio is clean and organized (thanks to Pam), I have found books I have not seen in a long time. I have been going through them and my creative juices are really flowing.

Ideas for new pieces I will be adding to my shop this year: Hardware and sterling silver, hardware mixed with materials like wood, gemstones, and lake stones, as well as large one of a kind pieces. I hope to bump my inventory up to 150 pieces with a variety of unique hardware designs.

Be the first to see new items as I create them, I will post new stuff here on my blog, Facebook, and in my newsletter (coming soon) first. They are all easy to follow just check the right side bar.

Don't forget 15% off selected items in my Etsy Shop!

Wow, a new year is here and more opportunities to learn, grow, and be creative.

One of my goals this year is to add 5 new items to my Etsy shop each week. It will give me an opportunity to create new original items and keep my shop fresh. I have been thinking about changing the background in my pictures, I would love to here your input, should I go more neutral or stick with the colors?
