Look what I made! :)

Hello Kitty Pendants!!! *squeeeeeeee*

They have the cute little orange noses, and the cute little red bows!!! And whiskers, (of course!). And Swarovski crystals for the eyes. :)

A Day of Jewelry Selling on Etsy, Alzheimers, Jilly's Bead Posse, ++!

A neat infographic on selling jewelry on Etsy! (Here's the original post with additional information: http://www.beadinggem.com/2012/03/day-of-jewelry-selling-on-etsy.html).

I thought this was too cool not to share! *grins*

Also, a neat article from the same source on a jewelry-making world traveler:

Esfera Jewelry - A Traveling Jewelry Store

I've been busy making new things today! Some of it I'm donating to Jilly's Bead Posse, (a dedicated group of artisans working to raise funds++ for researching Alzheimer's). I made 36 pairs of earrings for the cause, (I forgot to take pictures, but you can view some of them on Jilly's Bead Posse by searching for my name!), and now I'm making some polymer clay pendants, a waterfall pendant or two, and some other stuff!*laughs* It's keeping me pretty busy!

And a random photo from my Etsy shop:

Don't Feed The Trolls and Updates!!!

I really wish I had written this post, it is so eloquent. Anways, click here to read it! :) And yes, it is about internet trolls. It is definitely worth a read!

In other news, I won a beady raffle from http://BeadSwap-USA.com/! You can find pictures of it on my facebook, right here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151481648269189.510245.70965219188&type=3.

I got owl beads!!! :)

Also, I'm participating in the Blu Mudd Design Competition, and this is what I got to design with:

This is a Blu Mudd Rouge Berry Ceramic Pendant, handmade by Moriah Betterly!

You can buy her AWESOME STUFF right here: http://blumudd.com/ . (She also makes the MOST ADORABLE Hello Kitty pendants- one in pink and one in blue. Go look and see!).

I've been drooling over beads. I just can't seem to have enough of them, (of course not!). But I'm going to have to focus on purchasing some supplies like jewelry boxes, organza bags, and packaging materials. Oi! I wish I could just keep buying beads... Wishing wishing wishing.

If all goes to plan, I'll be attending the Bead and Button Show in Milwaukee this June! I will not be taking any classes, (I'm getting there for the tail end of the show, methinks), but I will be on a bead buying frenzy! :) YAY! Sounds like a blast to me! I'll keep you all posted!

Also, I won this ring from the talented Karen Snyder of OSebastian! :) Here's the link to her shop:
